Ruski, no need to double post.
...and why post in this topic if you're not interested?
You seem pretty negative!

Interesting picture - while Sarah has the familiar 2 (has this incarnation been used for anything else?), Phil is left with the BBC ONE red box. Almost an admission of BBC1's lack of clear identity.
And Phil Vowels reminded me in some ways of Phil Schofield.

It certainly surprised me when I first saw Phil's face on that photo - his voice makes him sound older than he looks!

Sometimes it works the other way round. In 1987, Richard Straker appeared in-vision on BBC1's Open Air to talk about being an announcer. Patti Coldwell was surprised when the globe faded back to reveal a bald guy, 50s, with horn-rimmed specs sitting in NC1. "Oh, I was expecting a younger man!", she exclaimed.

I was thinking that - using people is less flexible than an actual symbol/emblem; and it's not unique enough!
If you take away the logo, the only constant in all idents are the dancers and red theme...
...but if Phil was holding up a cut-out of a person wearing red, it would look silly; loads of people wear red clothing, it could easily mean different things to different people and there's no reason to attribute it exclusively to BBC ONE.
The BBC TWO figure 2 is on the other hand unique, distinctive and more likely to be instantly associated with its channel by many, especially since it has been in service for over 15 years, in a number of memorable sequences.

look closely at the picture, and theres a small screw hole in the top right corner. Looks like its been yanked off a wall somewhere then.

If they did this five years ago, Phil would almost certainly have been holding a model of the balloon (one was made for Points Of View where it hovered around Chris Serle's head!)
