BBC Three: Difference between revisions

*Trumpet: An elephant trumpeting, a trumpet flower and a trumpet instrument.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Sounds that go with the things, then a three-note tune, followed by an announcer.

'''Logo:''' Against a coloured background (this depends on the variant), a redesigned version of the last logo's heart zooms in and out as if it were beating. There are some very fast paced (and rather simple) effects as the background changes colour. The BBC Choice logo fades in at the bottom of the screen, and the heart shines slightly.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Heartbeat-like sounds followed by a lot of short electric sounds, ending with a gentle synth hum and some quieter echoing heartbeat sounds.

'''Variant:''' From December 2001, the background color was {{color|blue}}.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A hip-hop/dance-like tune.

*From January 2003, there was a sign that counted down to the BBC Three launch date (February 9, 2003).

'''Music/Sounds:''' The sounds of a building site - reverse beeps, welding sparks and hammers.

*To promote the sketch series ''Little Miss Jocelyn'', some idents are interrupted by the main character Jiffy, stating to give the blobs a ticket.

'''Music/Sounds:''' 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, an instrumental of "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado or a cowbell beat (in the case of the yodeling ident). 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 "Release Me" by Engelbert Humperdinck, "Bye Bye Baby" by The Four Seasons and "So Long, Farewell" from the movie ''The Sound of Music''.

*Birdbox: One of the people attempts to push the box. However, as the bird moves, they're scared and later, the "BBC Three" logo can be seen.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An upbeat electronic theme.

*Sliding Cubes: We see a moving video wall that includes various artwork of skeletons, caricatures and a rose. During the first few seconds, the logo can be seen.

'''Music/Sounds:''' All idents used an upbeat electronic theme, while the Tunnel ident uses a rock theme.

* The columns turn into various gadgets, which move downwards and the background turns into what appears to be an old building. The logo then fades in and zooms slowly towards the screen, then a different isometric view of a city. Some of the buildings release smoke, and the whole city disappears, leaving the logo against images of ultrasound and CT scans, and the columns turn into medical supplies. They are eventually consumed by pixels which turn into the logo. The columns then merge into a paper map of the world with a compass in the bottom right. Three pink dots on the map appear one by one, and the map then folds itself and turns into three abstract shapes resembling palm trees. The "trees" then turn into the logo. Like the former ident, this animation also repeats itself indefinitely.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An ambient electronic theme with various distorted sound effects.

'''Logo:''' A mint green box with three forest green lines rapidly zooms in. The line on the right, which is shorter than the other lines, "jumps" as a square falls below. We then see the square decrease in size as it expands and the lines form a capital "H" with the exclamation point shape attached to the right side. As the square stretches, a "T" appears on the left and "REE" appears on the right, with "IT'S" and "TIME" wiping in next to the square. The process is briefly reversed before the exclamation sign "sucks" the dot in and rises before dropping it out, causing the screen to cut to the logo much closer than before. Some effects appear on the logo as it continues to form "THREE" and repeat the aforementioned ! animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A whoosh, then one second later, some sound effects play while an announcer talks.

'''Logo:''' The logo forms via the lines "stretching", with the right line "pulling" the dot. The lines and dot rapidly move in an oval shape before the ! absorbs and pushes the dot. The process repeats until the logo ends.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo.

'''Trivia:''' These idents were a collaboration between BBC Creative, Superunion, Robert Strange of Blinkink, and Ghost VFX.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A techno theme with many variations depending on the ident.
