Urgh, shall I spoil myself or wait 11 hours? Decisions...

I'm waiting it out, but I've already had one spoiled by my friend on Discord so I'm a bit tempted to look now haha

I'm tempted to watch them but I'll instead be playing some Spider-Man PS4 tonight...

The channel is also working with a number of high-profile British artists, including sculptural installation artist David Batchelor, to create animations and further details will be announced in due course. BBC Creative Design will also be producing an ident in the near future.

I've just seen them. They really are superb. A long-overdue very good brand refresh, which has been well worth the wait. Oneness, it most certainly is not.

And, one thing is now certain- for the first time in 7 years, we will be getting a brand new Christmas ident for BBC Two!!

The only ones I'd say I'm not as keen on are the orange furry thing and the blobs - but apart from that they all look fantastic.

I think that's the 'fun' ident, perhaps before comedy programmes. It made me smile. Laughing

Yes and it also grabs your attention. Fluffy's natural successor. Let's just hope we get some more Comedy programmes on BBC2 to go with it.

I hope Aardman does a Christmas ident. They do some beautiful Christmas stuff.

The BBC finally issued a press release at 4pm, saying its the first channel refresh of BBC Two in 20 years.... 1998!?! What timeline are they on?

Teal logo alert!

Pleasantly shocked, love the consistency yet character in each one. I do miss rebrands being more of a surprise rather than being posted the day before usage but it doesn’t matter. Love them.

That's just the standard logo placement on any Media Centre news page to signify what channel it's relating to, rather than anything to do with the rebrand story itself.

I have to say I'm taken aback by how right they've got these new idents.

These look great. It means we'll all be moaning 10x harder on the BBC One thread instead.

Amazing what a change of channel controller can do. But it proves the BBC does have a budget for revamping presentation, so why are we stuck with the shot on an iPhone, up a ladder by a stills photographer crap on One?

The idents are fabulous. The sounds, the design, the animation.... it already looks superb.

Shame we couldn't get a new logo or at least a new typeface for the logo given it's a complete rebrand... but just a niggle.

Though how can BBC Two have a better identity and look to BBC One?!

Surely 1st January 2019 has to provide fruitful things for BBC One... and that includes a banish of the word 'O**ness'.

Yes please. Come on Superunion, work your magic and make something nice for One too.
