BBC One: Difference between revisions

'''Final Note:''' This logo was retired due to the fact that it was the only live mechanical model used by BBC1 by 1984, and the regular maintenance and calibration required was making it tiring and a hassle to use; even this logo could not help much in soothing common difficulties such as bad positioning, odd colours, etc. The globe was also becoming old-fashioned, due to its long service since the invention of colour, as well as the CGI revolution, which ironically began with sister channel BBC2, with their stripped "2" ident. The NODD system was abandoned with the globe, as all idents and clocks were now electronically generated. Programme slides remained the exception; they were still optically developed until the late 1980s when the programme slides became electronically generated with the Quantel Paintbox. The logo's last appearance was 5:35pm on Monday 18 February, introducing a new series of ''Grange Hill''. London viewers would see it one more time, before ''London Plus'' at 6:35pm.

'''Final Note:''' BBC1 ceased to use this logo in order to maintain a unified branding with BBC 2, which also switched to the 1991 "2" idents at the same time.

'''Final Note:''' This ident marked the end of the globe symbol which had been associated with the BBC since 1963. In 2023, the Bristol Balloon Collectors announced that the balloon, which is in their collection, would be restored and reinflated for a test flight in June of that same year at the Midlands Air Festival in Alcester, Warwickshire if they find the balloon to be in good enough condition to fly again. While the wind was too strong at the festival for the balloons to fly, the BBC One balloon still got inflated for the first time in 21 years at the event.
