'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a black diamond with an {{color|orange}} glow emitting from behind it, with the BBC HD logo beneath. The diamond turns to a glossy {{color|blue}}, before spinning around and sinking into the background, revealing a diamond-shaped hole. As this happens, the camera begins to zoom into the hole, causing the BBC HD logo to fade out. Inside the hole, we see a strikingly {{color|blue}} tunnel, and as the camera zooms deeper, the diamond shifts colors from {{color|blue}} to {{color|red}}. Suddenly, it explodes into {{color|orange}} dust, scattering across the screen and creating a smokey effect. Crystals begin to emerge from the explosion, turning into shiny cubes containing clips of programs as the camera starts to spin around. We zoom through the crystals, revealing one of them is a {{color|blue}} diamond, and as it comes to the center of the screen, the BBC HD logo fades in at the bottom again. The {{color|blue}} diamond glitters and shines, before the {{color|blue}} color fades away and the {{color|orange}} glow reappears again, creating a perfect loop. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a black diamond with an {{color|orange}} glow emitting from behind it, with the BBC HD logo beneath.

'''Variants:''' Sometimes, a shorter version is used. This version begins right when the explosion happens, and the rest of the animation plays out as usual. | '''Variants:''' | ||

* Sometimes, the blue diamond still remains, instead of fading away. | |||
'''Technique:''' Stunning CGI animation that still holds up today. | '''Technique:''' Stunning CGI animation that still holds up today. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The ident starts with a distinct rumbling sound, before an ambience of strings and a choir begins to build up. As the explosion happens, a loud explosion sound is heard, followed by a distinct wavy pulsating noise, and sharp twinkling noises when the crystals appear on screen. The sounds end with the ambience fading out as a synthetic four note jingle is played, with a 'thud' sound on the final note. After the music plays, a low rumbling can still be heard, alongside the distinct wavy pulsating noise from earlier. At this point, an announcer would typically begin to speak. | '''Music/Sounds:''' The ident starts with a distinct rumbling sound, before an ambience of strings and a choir begins to build up.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' | |||
* Sometimes, the music is rearranged. | |||
* There is a alternate version where the music is rock-themed for using electric guitars, bass guitars and drums with violins. | |||

'''Logo:''' We start out in the sky, following a singular water droplet as it falls. The camera quickly pans as it drops into the ocean below, creating a large ripple effect, before several more ripples begin to appear across the surface. The camera then cuts to reveal various large abstract shapes rising from the ocean, water falling from them as they shift and move to connect to one another. The area underneath the shapes begins to glow, and the camera cuts to an aerial view to reveal the shapes were creating the familiar HD diamond from the BBC HD logo. Below the large diamond, we see the 1997 BBC logo in black, with the Gill Sans letters in a shiny material protuding slightly from the shape. | '''Logo:''' We start out in the sky, following a singular water droplet as it falls.
