BBC Two Christmas Idents

I love the christmas promos aswell, when the "TWO" on the logo is rewrote with the gold spark! Brilliant!

Also, it's much better than BBC ONE; I really hate that!

Theres 2 of the them on tv ark

I've just seen the clip online here, but I particularly like the sparks which are flying so close to the camera, that they're out of focus. A really nice touch

However, you miss the first half a second of the form up of the ident because of the ridiculous wipe effect.



Video (5sec 216kB) Close up on the logo sparkles.

A nice closedown message last night too. "Just think, in one week Santa will have been to deliver you presents...if you are really really good"

Would be nice if the little fairy wrote out the TWO on the actual ident too; perhaps stole too much attention from the rest of the ... slightly more laid-back, muted style of the actual ident.

A really nice Christmas ident and it seems strange to have a Two without a personality. It also makes a change from the bright yellow even if the soundtrack is hardly BBC Two-esque and a little weak.
What are the technical names for each of the three versions?

The 2 Night promo is also in the style of the idents and stings.

And a treat - practically a full playout of Comic Boing before Ceefax. Great continuity too - no prizes for guessing who!

BBC TWO Ident - Comic Boing (30'')

I saw that and I thought that the Ceefax slide was rather sharply put on, as though we were near the end of the ident, but it never occurred to me that it was the full version. Despite the lack of the ident clean, one of the best closedown announcements I've heard recently with the reference to BBC One's ident. Good old Dean Lydiate - he doesn't let us down!

Generic;
Comic Boing;
Comic Stars.

I think the BBC 2 stuff is fantastic!!
