*On BBC North, the globe is replaced by a rotating 3D letter N
*'''Local Idents:'''
**For BBC Yorkshire, then known as BBC North, a large drum with 4 copies of the symbol at the time (An abstract "N" with a triangle in it) rotates in place of the BBC globe. The text is also changed accordingly.
**For BBC Northern Ireland/BBC NI, a large, abstract "NI" appears in place of the logo, which may or may not have rotated. A version with a blue background and white logo is known to exist.
**Other networks also usually replaced the globe with their own symbol and name, usually still, alongside the national globe.
*For junctions in-between BBC school programs during 1969-1972, a different NODD globe was used. This variant lacked the "COLOUR" caption, and was shown in monochrome, since school programming was still filmed in monochrome until 1972.

'''Accompanying clock ident:''' An analog clock face with the hours being represented by 2 bars, getting thicker for each hour. The hands are attached to a ring with a black circle in the center, though the second hand poked through. This clock was used from 1969-72; later variants feature an oblique serif typeface to typeset the word color. It was actually a real clock and filmed at the correct time, often appearing just before the actual ident.

*Sometime in 1978, the ident was slightly modified, with a new globe used. The distance between the "'''{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''" and the globe is larger, and the globe model is different.

*There are a number of regional text variants:
*For the different regions, the name would usually be shown in a thinner version of the Futura typeface below the wordmark. However, there are some regions who do things quite differently:
** In Wales,the words "Cymru Wales" are stacked next to "BBC"
** In Wales, the text is stacked to the right of it, and has both the name in English and Welsh.
** One variant has the words "SOUTH" added below the normal text. The available recording of this variant has it visibly off-center, though this might have been due to a misalignment of the NODD camera
** In Northern Ireland, the same NI symbol from before makes a return, but colored white like the rest of the logo.
** Another variant has "SOUTH WEST" below the standard text
** In the Midlands, the logo was briefly replaced the globe with a rotating version of their "Ribbon M" logo before being standardized.
** BBC Midlands would sow the word "MIDLANDS" below the standard text.
** Much like BBC Midlands, Yorkshire/North had the logo recolored and the text reading " '''{{Font|Futura|BBC 1 NORTH}}''' as well for about a year.
* on at least one occasion, the text is the same yellow as the globe. This may have been an error with the electronic coloring process used for the NODD system

**Christmas 1975: Same as 1974's globe, save for the new Christmas BBC1 legend incorporating the new twin-striped BBC1 logo. (BBC 1's logos were inconsistent at this time.)

**Christmas 1979: A group of Victorian carol singers stand between two low brick walls, and weirdly rotate about. The byline on the bottom states "'''{{Font color|gold|CHRISTMAS BBC 1}}'''" in a {{Font color|gold|golden}} serif font.

**Christmas 1980: Four Victorian skaters whiz around a snowman. There are daytime and nighttime variants of this ident too. (The mechanical model is bigger than it looks and takes up a whole coffee table!)

*'''Accompanying clock ident:''' Same as previous logo, but corresponds to the then-current colour scheme. The clock is {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} with a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background. The BBC 1 caption appears at the bottom, this time with no line above it.

*Much like the previous logo, legends for the regional variants exist, though they're mostly now in a green computerized font with some exceptions. (Like Midlands and East Midlands having theirs in a lowercase script font. The former is green, and the latter's white.)
*On the ident's first two days, the blue was {{Font color|midnightblue|a very dark navy}}, and the continents were {{Font color|greenyellow|pale yellow-green}}. This was due to a severe problem with the colour scheme. Also, for its first nine months, the ident was modified a few times.

* To celebrate the 1984 Olympic Games, there is a variation where the reflection was absent, and replaced by the Olympic Rings in orange, with the globe contained in the top center of the ring, also orange.

* On 23 October 2012, this logo was revived in Northern Ireland to mark both its digital switchover and the end of the analogue television era in the UK.

*Accompanying clock ident: From 5 September to approximately December 1981, the clock was similar to the 69/74 clock, aside from the colours and the new striped byline. After this, a new computerised clock was introduced with minor changes to the design. The central dot, for example, changed from a circular outline to a green dot. Wales continued to use the old mechanical clock regionally till the very end.

'''Final Note:''' This logo was retired because of the fact it was the only live mechanical model used by BBC1 by 1984, and the regular maintenance and calibration required was making it tiring and a hassle to use; even this logo could not help much in soothing common difficulties such as bad positioning, odd colours, etc. The globe was also becoming old-fashioned, due to its long service since the invention of colour, as well as the CGI revolution, which ironically began with sister channel BBC2, with their stripped "2" ident. The NODD system was abandoned with the globe, as all idents and clocks were now electronically generated. Programme slides remained the exception; they were still optically developed until the late 1980s when the programme slides became electronically generated with the quantel paintbox. The logo's last appearance was 5:35pm on Monday 18 February, introducing a new series of Grange Hill. London viewers would see it one more time, before ''London Plus'' at 6:35pm.

*Regional legends appear whenever a local variant is used.
*Accompanying clock ident: This clock used the GNAT (Generator of Network Analogue Time) system, resulting in the clock mimicking the movement of an analogue clock by moving the minute hand every second, rather than every fifteen seconds as was found on previous station clocks. The counters on the clocks alternated between dots and dashes pointing towards the centre, a smoky static background and included the BBC logo at the bottom of the screen, although no on-screen reference to the channel being BBC1.

**There were two variants of the clock design. The first variant, used from 16 February 1991 to mid-December 1991, had a larger design to fit the screen best, and looked more like a crystal ball. However the size contrast between the clock and the globe resulted in difficulty at closedown, as the two do not fade easily. The second variant, used from mid-December 1991 to 4 October 1997, had a smaller clock (to allow a smoother transition to the globe) and had a brighter background.

**Christmas 1995: The figure ‘1’ is on top of a Christmas tree in place of a star, with starry glitter surrounding it and a toy plane flying around it. In addition, a variation was made without the plane, which was used at closedown.

**Christmas 1996: A brown circular box is opened by two toys to reveal a gold figure ‘1’ inside on a bluish-purple sparkling cushion. A version without the toy figures and the rim of the box shines via sparkling effect, which was used for closedown and introduction into serious programming.

**Hogsmanay 1997 (Scotland): In a dimly lit room, 2 candles and some overhanging lights illuminate the BBC Scotland logo, which is an abstract representation of Scotland using 3 different parallelograms, one shorter than the other (This debuted with their news program, Reporting Scotland, and is still used to this day in a modified form), and has them dressed like traditional Scotland garb, the top and bottom ones are male, and the middle is female.
