'''Logo:''' Three dots, colored green, red and blue respectively, appear on a black background. They shrink and merge into one white dot just above the center of the screen. A 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 red, green and white respectively, before the blue "'''2'''" reappears. The rotation continues for the rest of the logo.
'''Trivia:''' Although the logo itself was introduced on 1 July 1967, the animated ident did not appear until 15 November 1969, the same day BBC 1 and ITV began colour broadcasting. Until then, holding slides with the logo were used to introduce programming.
'''Variants:'''
*Accompanying clock ident: Same as before, but the entire thing was chroma-keyed to cyan, and the "2-cube" with the BBC 2 logo and "COLOUR" below it tacked on to the side. This was used from 1967 to 1969. From then, they just used the BBC 1 clock with the BBC 2 branding and colors.
* Circa 1972, the logo underwent considerable change. All the "'''2'''"s, plus the dots in them, were colored light blue; the font for "'''''COLOUR'''''" was altered in the same manner as for BBC 1's mirror globe logo of the time; and a white horizontal line was added between the word and the "'''2'''"s.
*By 1973, further changes had taken place, with the background color now dark blue and "'''''COLOUR'''''" and the horizontal line in light blue to match the "'''2'''"s.
*A final change took place during 1974, with the "2"s in bright blue against a navy background, and "'''''COLOUR'''''" and the horizontal line reverting to white. This variant was briefly brought back in 1993 during BBC 2's 70's season.
*'''Christmas Idents:'''
**Christmas 1967-1971: On a black background, we the "2-cube" from before in white/red. Underneath the two is the text "'''''B B C 2"''''', followed by the text "'''COLOUR'''" also in the color white/red. Right next to it would either be a snowflake or a Christmas tree.
**Christmas 1972: The same "2-cube" is seen rotating in the screen. Separated by a line, the text "'''CHRISTMAS in colour'''" is seen below, and the sides are covered with several stars. Unknown how it was colored.
**Christmas 1973: A variant of the logo lacking the large dot from the "'''2'''", with stars coming from inside the cube and a caption that stated the day ("'''Christmas Eve'''", "'''Christmas Day'''" or "'''Boxing Day'''") underneath the 2-cube. Unknown how it was colored.
** Christmas 1974: Same as before, but the "'''2'''" is orange. This was the final time the 2-cube was seen.
'''Technique:''' Possibly 2D animation.


'''Music/Sounds:''' If you want to count the continuity announcer.
