I read somewhere on here that BBC One was getting a new look or something like that, I think...

What is it on about, or am I wrong?

A while back there was a rumour BBC1 may dump the balloons, but this appears to have gone out of the window.

No, I think it'll happen when BBC 3 and 4 launch. BBC2 may change as well then - the last theme night only had one ident, there's usually more, and there's no I Love 1990's ident.

From recent the muffled rumbles I'm hearing from the BBC (They NEVER give you a straight answer!) BBC One & Two will be getting new idents soon - before the end of the year.

Never give a straight answer - that sounds like the BBC we all know!

End of the year? Hmm, seems a little early to me - I'd have thought spring at the earliest. Maybe someone should get Lambie-Nairn on the blower to ask if they've have any requests to draw up something new.

I see BBC Two closes on Sunday/Monday morning at 12.55am - I think that's the earliest this year. They could fill for a few mins then a clock with them talking about BBC radio and N24 then hitting a long Kebab(!!) ident at 1am exactly. Perfect.

Cheers, Asa

Or alternatively, they could broadcast for about ten minutes 'The Best of Harry and Christa'! Enlighten the country of this Wonderful Twosome!

I don't care if they get rid of the balloons, but would miss the '2's.

The 2s are 10 years old - only the 2D colour idents of 1970's ITV lasted longer! (Border's lasted 19 years, Thames' 18 years!!)

The balloons are a bit dated now - I really do hope they are replaced with similar idents like the ones BBC Canada uses (shown below)

Whatever they use it'll include a globe. So no, BBC America/Canada's idents will not be used here. At least not on BBC1. BBC4 maybe?
