Duncan said that the 2011 set would be in use, but he didn't say that it would be the only set in use - I could see some of the old Christmas idents coming back with the 50 years box. I'm sure NI will dust off the snowflake at any rate.
Further confirmation that the windows are gone forever though and as such somebody should really be getting round to amending that trail style and *broken record*
They're not quite gone yet. They do get used occasionally (normally by Wales and NI), and I did see one used just a few days ago (think it was seascape).
Hmm odd they'd use the Swan sting, I thought a woodpecker sting or even a duck sting would be more appropriate for the start of iPlayer programmes?
It's about a sting that's appropriate (or at least not inappropriate) for the content it is sitting in front of. Woodpecker or Duck wouldn't suit being used before an episode of This World when transmitted on TV... and still wouldn't be suitable when used in front of that programme when on iPlayer.
I quite like the end board style at the end of the promo. It seems reminiscent of the BBC TWO trail design from 2001 and even some of the special trails from the 2007 to 2009 era - well, to
me
at least!

No you're right, it does have a 2001-esque feel to it. A move in a different, non-bouncy direction perhaps?

About time too they rolled something fitting in here! I'm still thinking the box logo should go the journey, but maybe I'm just nitpicking... again...
Interesting choice of v/o at the end of the promo - sounds a lot like Hattie Hayridge...

Does this mean there will be a new 1990s-style ident to be made specifically for "Sci-Fi Season" or will BBC2 use their 1997 "Mars Weekend" ident for "Sci-Fi Season".
...or will BBC2 use their 1997 "Mars Weekend" ident for "Sci-Fi Season".
Whilst I do hope this ident is shown, it was
just
within the 4:3 era and, unfortunately, BBC2 doesn't seem to have any inclination to show any of the 4:3 idents shown between '91 and '97
They could make a CGI re-creation of it to use instead to make it look like the old ident? OR perhaps they willmake a whole new one or not bother and just keep the retro ones as is.
