Agreed. Although I do have a certain appreciation for it these days, my main view at the time was that it was just boring and too abstract. I couldn't wait for Christmas just to get something more exciting. It probably helped to make the impact of the balloon in '97 that much greater. Colour! Music! Variations! The variety of the stings was really nice though.
As I said the other week though, to have the flexibility to dive in and out of an ident within a few seconds was definitely a bonus that doesn't exist anymore.
I wonder whether it was someone at the Radio Times who decided on the purple colour logo? I don't remember it ever being used as an 'official' BBC One colour on-screen.
They are the official colours, BBC1 Indigo and BBC2 Viridian. Ref: MHP file 7017.
Controversial opinion time (and one I doubt Mumoss will like either), but I always thought the 1991 BBC1 globe seemed dated even at the time it was introduced, and certainly was well past it by 1997
