'''Logo:''' | '''Logo:''' The ident starts 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. | ||

* Cat: | * Cat: The camera is focused on a blade of grass with a cricket attached to it, before shifting focus to reveal a small tabby cat is hiding in the grass. It then cuts to reveal two pigeons in a field next to some people having a picnic, and the camera shows an overhead view of the cat sneaking up to the pigeons. As the cat is running towards them, a diamond appears in front of it, showing a lion bounding through a savannah. The cat jumps at the pigeons, but they fly away, and the cat continues to chase them off-screen. The ident ends on a slow motion shot of the cat running through the picnic, knocking over a bowl of oranges, as the BBC HD logo forms on screen. | ||
* Dog Walker: | * Dog Walker: It starts with a shot of a man walking a group of dogs, before cutting away to a shot of a woman walking a single dog. The man's group of dogs appears agitated, barking while stood still, and the other smaller dog appears to be noticeably scared. Shots of the dogs barking up-close are shown, before they tug on their owner's leash and launch forward, where the diamond reveals multiple husky dogs running through a snowy area, pulling along a sled. It cuts to a closeup of the man skidding across the path to stop the dogs, and as the BBC HD logo appears we see a final slow motion wide shot further away from the man, who is pulling on the leashes in an attempt to control the dogs. | ||
* Music: | * Music: It starts on a closeup of a woman and a man sat on a bench, sharing a pair of earbuds and listening to a piano performance. The man begins to move his hands in a dramatic way, as if he was playing the piano. The diamond appears in front of him as the camera orbits around the bench, revealing the man as a performer sat at a grand piano as an ensemble appears around him. The diamond disappears and the BBC HD logo forms as the woman begins to clap, and the final shot shows them sat at the bench with people passing in front of the camera. | ||
* Carousel: | * Carousel: The ident starts in a playground during Winter, with the camera attached to a carousel spinning around with two children on it. The diamond appears and reveals the carousel to be a ride at an amusement park, with the overwhelmingly warm colors contrasting against the dull Winter setting. Various shots of the children riding around on the carousel's horses are shown, before the diamond disappears and they jump off, as the BBC HD logo forms on screen. The final scene is a slow motion shot of the children playing and running away, as the carousel continues to spin slowly. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' TBA. | '''Music/Sounds:''' Depends on the ident, however the music always ends with the same four note jingle. | ||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' TBA. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' If the idents are played out for long enough with no announcer, you can actually hear elements from different idents playing in the background ambience. For example, in the Music ident you can faintly hear the ice cream truck from the Ice Cream variant. | |||
