<u>Nicknames:</u> "Blobs" | <u>Nicknames:</u> "Blobs" | ||
<u>Logo:</u> | <u>Logo:</u> Idents take place in a black-blue gradient environment and prominently feature a set of orange blobs and a towering "THREE" in the background. The BBC Three logo appears via a transition shortly after. | ||
<u> | <u>Trivia:</u> The orange blobs parallel the CBBC green blobs and the CBeebies yellow blobs used at the time and show a progression through age groups. | ||
<u> | <u>Variants:</u> | ||
* A prominent sting showed one blob standing in front of the figure 'THREE' shouting "Three!", before another 'THREE' rises up from underneath the original, toppling it. | |||
* Idents may feature a snowy environment for the winter season. | |||
* To promote the sketch series ''Little Miss Jocelyn'', some idents are interrupted by the main character Jiffy, stating to give the blobs a ticket. | |||
<u> | <u>FX/SFX:</u> The blobs, which are created by Stefan Marjoram at Aardman Animations, and may appear in different genders and costumes. The box containing the logo appears in many transitions, and range from dropping, bouncing, pulsing, blurring | ||
<u>Editor's Note:</u> | <u>Music/Sounds:</u> Almost all of the variants have spoken lines for the blobs, provided by the BBC Sound Archive. Music plays after the logo transitions, and may range from a rendition of "Three is a Magic Number" from ''Schoolhouse Rock!'', an instrumental version of "In The Morning" by indie rock band Razorlight, an electronic tune or a pop beat. On February 12th, 2008, before the channel's first rebrand, the usual music was replaced with music that follow the topic of leaving. Examples include "Please Release Me" by Engelbert Humperdinck, "Bye Bye Baby" by The Four Seasons and "So Long Farewell" from the movie ''The Sound of Music''. | ||
<u>Availability:</u> Extinct, as they were replaced with the "Media World" ident branch. | |||
<u>Editor's Note:</u> According to ''The Guardian'', the blobs were eventually replaced because viewers found them "cold and shouty". | |||
