Happy birthday to the balloon!

Just thought I'd mention that it's four years ago today that the current BBC logo was introduced and we saw this for the very first time:

Happy 4th birthday to the BBC1 balloon!

: yes, happy birthday to the BBC ONE balloon! I think it shows how professional the BBC is compared to itv.
too bad their going to be replaced soon

- Jamie.

We don't definately know that!

The BBC has a right to celebrate at the moment - the BBC One Balloon, the 1st anniversary of Breakfast, and the launch of BBC LDN.

no - im just talking about what people are saying in the forums, i dont want the balloon to go either.

ps. its also 1 year since the BBC introduced their new weather graphics

How about this as a montage of balloon idents? I had way too much time on my hands today but quite good idea for closedown/startup/crossover to News 24 IMO.

Happy Birthday To You,
Happy Birthday To You,
Happy Birthday Dear Balloo-n,
Happy Birthday To You!

I simply can't believe it's now four year since the introduction of the baloons! God, how time flies:)

Hehe - very good Asa

I'm assuming thats an Identz soundtrack you used there?

Thanks and no, it was my own sound used.

Cheers, Asa

BBC National News Widescreen must be a year old today as well then.

Asa, you're not the only one with too much time on your hands!
I must admit I also made a montage the other week featuring all but one of the regular balloon idents, but as 15Mb RealVideo file it's way too big to upload!

I only mentioned it, because I think I sent u that sound over mIRC ages ago. Anyways, nice clip though
