Nicknames: "Oneness", "People", "Rhythm & Movement in a budget"

Logo: Depending on the ident, it showcases the everyday lives of British people and their activities. On the bottom are details (activity, location) of the scene, which fades out to the text "oneness" forming via a circular swirling line, in the same transition to the 2006 idents. The "e" extends to "ness" in an elegant font. "ness" fades out and the 1997 BBC logo fades in on the top left of "one".

Trivia: The BBC has commissioned Martin Parr, one of Britain’s leading documentary photo­graphers, to create 24 images and short films on the theme of “oneness”.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Sounds vary throughout the variants, ranging from ambience, to music.

Availability: The first ident, "Exercise Class", started broadcasting at 1am on New Year's Day, and more idents would appear throughout the years. The first two idents were removed after a few months following initial negative reception. During the UK lockdown to reduce spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and following complaints from viewers on social media that the current set of BBC One idents were not good examples of social distancing, BBC One temporarily suspended their normal idents on 1st May 2020 in favour of a special set of idents that adhere towards the current social distancing guidelines. They are expected to remain in use until the UK lockdown is lifted.

Editor's Note: Oneness is often agreed to be BBC idents at its laziest and are showing of no charm or value that previous ident branches had shown. It is often compared unfavourably to the Rhythm & Movement idents from 2002.
