'''Nicknames:''' "The Turning 2", "BBC 2 In Color"


'''Logo:''' Three dots, colored {{color|green}}, {{color|red}} and {{color|blue}} respectively, appear on a black background. They shrink and merge into one white dot just above the center of the screen. A {{color|blue|blue} "{{color|blue|2}}" is then drawn around the dot, and when it is completed, the word "COLOUR", in white, appears below. The "2" then starts rotating around, and one at a time, three more "2"s (in the same style) appear, colored {{color|red}}, {{color|green}} and white respectively, before the {{color|blue|blue} "{{color|blue|2}}" reappears. The rotation continues for the rest of the logo.

'''Legacy:''' It's rather dated by today's standards, but it was revolutionary for its time, as this was the UK's first electronically generated ident, and probably the world's first computer animated ident. Ironic that the Christmas idents were still mechanical.

'''Nicknames:''' "TWO", "The Colorful TWO"


'''Logo:''' On a white background, the word "TWO" emerges from the wall as segments that are in white. As you can notice, the second part of the "T" is red and the first two parts of the "W" are green and blue. Despite the "TWO" in the ident, the channel was still officially called "BBC 2".

'''Nicknames:''' "The 1990s 2s", "The 2s"


'''Logo:''' Various, though all of the idents revolve around a numeral "2" set in Gill Sans Bold. From the launch of the ident set until October 3, 1997, The BBC corporate logo from 1988 in white appeared at the bottom of the screen. From October 4, 1997 until November 19, 2001, the new BBC Two Logo (the 1997 corporate logo with the word "TWO" next to it, set in Gill Sans) fades in at the bottom of the screen a few seconds in.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Curve", "The 2 Curve"


'''Logo:''' We see an interactive environment, centering around a simple curve that represents the curve (looks like a curved wave) seen in the middle of a "2". Below appear the boxless version of 2007 BBC Two logo. The logo is now placed at the bottom of the screen instead of the bottom-right corner of the screen, similar to that of the 1991-2001 idents.

'''Legacy:''' Although the old 2 idents will be missed, these still carry on the unique and creative themes from those and, therefore, are a worthy successor.
