'''Logo:''' We start with a closeup of the globe hot-air balloon seen on BBC One's UK idents from 1997 to 2002. Then, in a very quick flash, a box appears against a {{color|blue}} background. It contains footage of the same balloon over a river and to the right of a riverside building. Under the picture are the words "'''BBC''' (in the Box logo) AMERICA presents", and the "BBC AMERICA" part expands as the logo fades out. | '''Logo:''' We start with a closeup of the globe hot-air balloon seen on BBC One's UK idents from 1997 to 2002.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A light piano tune that ends in a heavily reverberated note with the "flash".

'''Logo:''' Inside a dark room, a silhouette of a woman is seen blowing {{color|red}} roses out of her hand. The screen then turns white with the left side of the screen being filled with a hazy {{color|blue}}/{{color|red}} blob. As the roses fully blow out, an air haze is seen, with what looks like a blurry {{color|blue|United}} {{color|red|Kingdom}} flag (even waving as such). The BBC America logo appears at the bottom. | '''Logo:''' Inside a dark room, a silhouette of a woman is seen blowing {{color|red}} roses out of her hand.
