I love them. Best ident of the main channels, just wish we could have some new idents for the New Year.


You know that the new idents will be on most of the year if they launched some in New Year Rolling Eyes

And what's your point? Confused BBC2 is long overdue some new idents to sit alongside Zoetrope, Seascape, Sunroof etc. for the non Christmas months. They haven't really added to the set and could do with a few new ones.

It's a shame the resting period for the chase and capachino idents hasn't ended yet.

TBH, I'd be satisfied if they just replaced zoetrope on iPlayer with one of the other standard idents.

You do realise cylon wasn't meaning they should air the Christmas idents all year round, don't you?

If we presume this set has another 2 years left in it, then they c/should sort out the vile endboards (surely they can't be happy with them?), reintroduce the withdrawn and add 3 or 4 more to the standard of Mirror.

k, thanks, ta.

I'd go along with that idea. I always liked Chase and its music, they shouldn't have withdrawn it, especially as they went to South Africa to film it! What a waste of money! They should have ditched Sunroof instead.

That one's my favourite now, they're all wonderful and glad to see them in HD. Smile

And because they're clean and center-aligned, they're great for retro mocks...

You wait 4 years for 1 new BBC2 ident...

Better late than never, a chronological compilation of Saturday's idents and other bits and pieces if it's of interest to anyone (just me? OK!):

What a treat to see both just after they début on BBC Two full and without continuity.

They're lovely.

I assume rcmstuart you were involved with their production?


So pleased reception so far is positive. Yes - I worked on them, but be as honest as necessary!


Lovely. The nice long form-up brings to mind the 1993 ones, and that's no bad thing. Thanks for sharing!

If you're looking for criticism, all I can think of is that the proportions of the 2 look slightly off (especially in the bottom-left corner), but that could well be just the angle of view being a bit like the BBC weather map. I'm sure most people aren't pedantic enough to notice that though! Smile

BBC2 pres absolutely fantastic. Very Happy

A shame it's pretty crap the rest of the year. Sad

BBC2 Christmas pres makes BBC1 look an even poorer effort.

First showing of the Laughing Snowman before Class Dismissed?

Another gem. Very Happy
