At first the consensus was that the channel identity had been wrecked! Now, after a fair few weeks, has the opinion over the new look changed? Do you still think the identity is **** ?

Perhaps a website ought to be set up where people can sign a guestbook airing their thoughts on the new look.

Me? I really don't like the new look at all. I thought I'd get use to it but I now think my opinion of the look has worsened. It's just so boring! No life! No originality! No pizazz! They're just crap!

Once again, I air the famous quote, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'

Rant Over! Your turn!

Personally, I hate the new idents - the old ones showed creativity, origionality and imagination - the Gorilla one with the Banana was good!! Bring back the old idents!!

I said it before, and i'll say it again BBC TWO how it is now is better than ever, but we need more idents to add variety but in the same style.

Let's face it, the idents are crap! For a near enough 24 hour channel to have only 4 idents is stupid!

Bring back the old Two's! At least they were not boring! Having said that, I do like what they do at nightime when they show the 'Whatson' screen before going into a programme!

I never thought someone would agree with me on that one! They do need more and there are some new ones planned for the coming weeks if rumours are to be believed

Another brand new Ident tonight, straight after Weakest Link. Its the same theme, but in a 'dirty metal' variation this time.

The '2' with the robot arms 'spews' a christmas tree, made out of a trial of light, similar to the one you get from a Guy Fawkes sparkler.

Really nice too!

I HATE the new idents. they are disgusting. From several brilliant idents to 4 boring, rubbish, lacking imagination samey idents.

The Christmas ident is better than I expected - but they do need to get away from this idea of it growing robot arms all the time.

Overall though, I haven't changed my mind - I still think the new idents are just not very good, and to ditch the old ones was a big big mistake.

I totally understand what you are saying, but after 11 years they had to change them.

In time I think these will be just as popular.

But as was mentioned once before, most of the ident weren't 11 years old - only four of those originals were actually left, and at least half of those in use at the end were only 4 years old or less. And Night Wave had not much more than a year before being ditched. They could quite easily have continued bringing out new variants to keep the '2' fresh, while keeping on some of the old fabvourites.

I like the new idents - they just need a few more. I saw the Christmas ident and I think it looks really great!

But isn't there something missing in the top left corner?
