With the original launch of the '2' in 1991 there were 9, 11 if you include the slight differences for the anvil and water idents. They launched on the same day and all were used regularly until new additions came along a few months later. BBC2 have launched with 16 new idents but keep using a handful more than others during the day and in primetime. It's more boring seeing the same ones over and over, I'd rather they use them all.
The three white idents tend to appear only at 9am, 11am and 12.15pm. Where the variety in that? Black and White Art ident not been seen now in two weeks. Same goes for Snake one. Its all well in good adding a new one, but why not use what is already in use.
No one has the right to moan about this point, Look at ch4 and the complaints of the overuse of the kids on bikes, or the use of the shorter versions only. I still love the full version of the hilltop one, it hardly ever appears.
Those three white idents could certainly used to introduce factual series in the evening. Why do they solely have to be for Victoria Derbyshire, News and Politics Live Monday to Friday then Newsnight in the evening? What’s the point of having 16 then sticking to around 6? It’s like the Window On The World idents where they went to South Africa to film several of the Chase idents then stopped showing them after a month and stuck us with Sunroof! It’s a waste of money.
I think they're absolutely right to hold some back to use more sparingly. That is what they did with the original 90s set and it has to be remembered most people are probably only seeing a handful of programme junctions across the week. Indeed I don't think I've actually watched anything on BBC2 since the relaunch.
