It's almost as if it was designed for 16:9
My, my look how far back BBC2 have gone!

You know what I meant.
And you know what I meant here too.
Less of this and I'd be happy to talk to you about it. But like I said already, you clearly have a different concept in regards to taste, as well as what's fashionable than I do. No one can be definitively correct on such a topic. It's as simple as that really.
Yes, the first time I've seen them in 13 years was on TV the other week 
You know what I meant.
I didn't say anything about 'presentation era' whatever that means.

Thank you for reading my points which I took time to write and craft, and responding so fully to them. I do love having a nice constructive discussion

Complete with artifacts you'd expect from 49 year old footage! I wonder if the prop used for that ident was actually in shades of grey? After all, they replaced it when colour came along, and had it been coloured, that wouldn't have been necessary.
BBC Two have just shown the 1964-1967 ident:

It appeared to be a recording as opposed to a recreation.

I think they were very keen to stress the 'colour' aspect at the time. Had they simply kept putting that out but in colour the vast majority of viewers with black and white sets wouldn't have known the difference. Whereas with the colour reference (as with the constant 'on BBC Two and BBC Two HD' references we get now they're constantly, subtly reminded that they're missing out.

And there you go again. If you want to have a nice constructive discussion, play nice.

I suspect thousands, if not millions, when hearing ' and now on BBC 2 and BBC 2 HD ' imagine they are watching in HD, because there's a sticker on the TV saying 'HD Ready' . I also suspect there are huge numbers of folk who are capable of seeing the HD versions of the channels , but don't realise they are hidden away on obscure EPG positions. It's all a bit sad really, I've seen nothing on any channel in the form of promos, explaining what's what. It would take a fraction of the money that's spent on hideously expensive trails that some programmes have.

Slightly strange that BBC2 Wales chose to show the Wales version of "Copper Cutout" before BOTH
'allo 'allo
and
Cagney and Lacey
today.

Yes, but there will also be a plain logo somewhere because they did versions for all the regions.
In any case what's wrong with a bit of late-90s retro?
Ah. 
I guess the "true" 16:9 re-edit has the 1997 logo burned on it?
