Was it different to the network showing? How many variations of this ident are there?!
In addition to the original name-captioned intros 623058 has provided links to, I have three versions. I don't think I have anything missing but I obviously can't guarantee it. Here are the starting shots to the three I have:

BBC2 has missed a trick, with the
Britain's Greatest Invention
trail. With a bit of further modification, the lightbulb on the endboard could have been made into the 2 shape, and I can visualize it working very well. A wasted opportunity there.

Not really. The series it's advertising is Britain's Greatest Invention. An invention often springs from an idea to solve a problem, problems can be signified by a question mark; ideas, can be signified by a lightbulb, so it's a perfect fusion. A lightbulb shaped 2 would miss the point.

You mean, similar to this?

No, not exactly. I just thought, as the shape of the top half of the lightbulb on this endshot isn't a million miles away from the 2 shape, it could possibly have been re-jigged as a 2 lightbulb.

I did not expect them to use optic going into Glastonbury
I've never understood why this wasn't added to the regular set, high quality visual effects and a lovely soundtrack. It was used for what, a week(?), and then never seen again. Indeed, in 2008 they designed a new EP ident that was much lower quality.
Some truly bizarre decisions taken during that time period 2007-10. I suppose there's no reason it couldn't be reinstated today, as is the vogue, although I doubt it's even remembered it existed at this point. I think the majority would like to see more use of the Arts night set too.
