Shows how simple it actually was to incorporate the circle. It sounds silly on one level, but I do think it weakens the whole brand if you're not consistent with it.

BBC London heads went out on HD instead of the weather.

They aren't idents. They are clips of a show with a logo slapped on top. They could do that for any show of they wanted.

Mind you they did the same with Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Beasts when they had the balloon.

But they were specially designed idents that utilised the main element of the brand. Not clips from the show with no link whatsoever and no music. As Andrew said, it's just any old video with the logo (and trail animation) slapped on. Rubbish really.

I wonder if people are seeing these random clips and realising Planet Earth 2 is on? The continuity announcers aren't mentioning it.

I rather like them. The music on the flamingos one - has that been used before?

I think the zooming-in 'o' is a rather nice device - would be good if they could refresh the standard trailer style to include this, the current red end board is somewhat dated now.

I see they've forgotten their theme is circles again with a Planet Earth II special ident/programme clip with logo slapped on, as the Flamingos one.


Remember the 'Africa' series idents. Flamingos then, too.

I haven't seen the red end-board in a while, all I have seen are the zoomed in O's. Perhaps NI is using this more than network for trailers?

They've been using the 'O' device as an intro to promo endboards for quite a while now.

They still took clips from the show then added the balloon. But I think they worked better as idents. Random film with logos slapped on them are the worst type of idents. I hate the main channel idents on ITV for the same reason.

The other irritating thing about the BBC1 idents is the move away from the circle. Just having 'BBC one' looks bland, much better inside a circle and the circle should stat around it in idents rather than disappear. We could all sort this mess out for them!

Grrrr! Mad
