'''Logo:''' On a black background a globe with glowing {{color|blue}} continents slowly rotates as it casts the images of continents on the other side of the world onto the wall behind it. Underneath the globe is "{{Font color|blue|BBC 1 COLOUR}}" written in {{color|blue}} (with the word "{{Font|Helvetica|{{Font color|blue|COLOUR}}}}" in the Helvetica typeface).

**Christmas 1976: A giant revolving snowflake (not unlike those hanging ones you can buy for your tree) temporarily replaces the globe with a festive {{color|red}} background behind it. The bottom caption states "'''''{{Font|Blackletter Gothic|Christmas}}''/{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''", with "'''''{{Font|Blackletter Gothic|Christmas}}'''''" in a Blackletter Gothic font and "'''{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''" in a striped font (like the next logo). A companion clock was also created.

*Much like the previous logo, legends for the regional variants exist, though they're mostly now in a green computerised font with some exceptions. (Like Midlands and East Midlands having theirs in a lowercase script font. The former is green, and the latter's white.)

*On the ident's first two days, the blue was {{Font color|midnightblue|a very dark navy}}, and the continents were {{Font color|greenyellow|pale yellow-green}}. This was due to a severe problem with the colour scheme. Also, for its first nine months, the ident was modified a few times.

*A rare variant has an unusual form in which the globe shows an optical illusion. Shown only on ''Tomorrow's World''. This variant is nicknamed "The Brain Globe".

'''Logo:''' On a solid black background, a computer-generated, semi-transparent {{color|blue}} globe with {{Font color|gold|golden}} landmasses slowly spins around at a steady pace throughout, and has the effect of a spotlight added to the surface. The planet being partially transparent as you can see the shadows of the continents on the other side of the world through the water. Underneath the globe, "{{Font color|gold|BBC 1}}" is written in a {{color|gold}} serif font, similar to that used in the early days of the BBC.

'''Trivia:''' Work on this logo began in 1983, in response to the revolutionary Channel 4 idents, as well as a desire to update the channel's image. It was a mammoth task combining the efforts of BBC Computer Graphics, Graphic Design and the Designs Departments. The COW was generated by a black box containing several circuit boards. Each board carried one layer of the animation - the BBC1 logo, blue background etc., with switches to input various captions when needed. These boxes were delivered to all eleven regions and installed before Christmas 1984. Their output had an aspect ratio of 5:4 and was cropped for transmission to 4:3. It first appeared at 7pm on Monday 18 February. Originally it was planned to be launched on 1 January 1985, but the launch was deferred to coincide with radical changes to the BBC1 schedule. See [http://www.bbceng.info/Designs/designs_technology/new_world.htm this link] for technical information.

'''Logo:''' Inside a scene depending on one of several locations (seen below), a globe-patterned balloon flies. The pattern of the globe uses a {{color|red}} colour for sea, and {{Font color|orange|orange}} colour for the continent, and is complete with clouds. Superimposed at the bottom of the screen is the current BBC logo with the text "ONE" next to it, either fading in or appearing whenever the camera cuts to a new shot, depending on the variant. Starting in December 1999, the URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ was put at the top of the logo (and was officially introduced in June 2000). This was also the first time the channel was named "BBC One".
