The first sting was shown today on BBC TWO Scotland so it's still being used.
Just to be clear, Cavan, I wasn't implying that sting A had been withdrawn and was no longer being used, subsequent to the airing of the first episode of the new era.

Ah, okay.
Perhaps my choice of wording led you to maybe feel that
Watched via iPlayer live restart on Apple TV, around 40mins in the vision and sound went hopelessly out of sync. Was anyone watching live, did it happen during the OTA broadcast, or was it an iPlayer issue only?

Thats a turn up for the books, not seen this used in years.
AFAIK, it was used
once
* after the wacky, fun, crazy, outrageous endboards were introduced for an Arctic expedition programme. It looks extremely finicky to implement as the footage underneath has to be shifted and resized to the top left of the screen (as the endboard bounces on) so it fits within the window.
...but it's flawed because the fundamental idea of using the '2' shape as a window doesn't really work, blah, blah, repeat ad nauseam for 10 more years...
*the static version occasionally showed up as a Next slide.
You can also see in that video that the redesign was going to be part of the botched box-less, BBC logo only rebrand that appeared for one junction earlier in 2009 and then never reappeared.
The problem as Jonny has said many times previously is that the '2' doesn't work as window to put the video through at the end as they do currently. (In the same way that I never thought it worked well for Channel 4's previous trail design to have the video appearing through the '4')
The trail designs of the 1990s showing the video full screen with a caption overlaid seem to be out of fashion now at the moment. Instead we either get specially designed endboards for certain shows, like Peaky Blinders, or full screen graphics like BBC One's red swirls or Channel 4's current design.
