'''Variants:''' There were many variants including wave-shaped color bars in different shades of white and black, along with one that consists of a "compass" with some bat wing-like shapes on the sides in various shades of gray with "BBC" on the top and bottom, all on a gray BG. In 1987, BBC made a classics movie and one clip has this logo, but instead of the Baird or the Marconi-EMI system, the Dolby system is credited.

'''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.

*'''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.

'''Logo:''' Same concept as before, except the globe is now on a space background and surrounded by a swirling smokey atmosphere, the stylized numeral "1" is in the center and now big. At the bottom of the screen we see a small BBC logo, this time with a line below each box. This was also the final time BBC One was called "BBC 1".

'''Logo:''' Inside a scene depending on one of several locations (seen below), a globe-patterned balloon flies. The pattern of the globe uses a {{Font color|red|red}} color for sea, and {{Font color|orange|orange}} color for the continent, and is complete with clouds. Superimposed at the bottom of the screen is the current BBC logo with the text "ONE" next to it, either fading in or appearing whenever the camera cuts to a new shot, depending on the variant. Starting in December 1999, the URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ was put at the top of the logo (and was officially introduced in June 2000). This was also the first time the channel was named "BBC One".

'''Logo:''' The camera pans over a large community space utilised for various purposes, with the same 2021 BBC logo from before appearing at the top of the screen and the same "'''ONE'''" (in BBC Reith Bold) from before appearing at the bottom. As this happens, the center of the screen rotates with a circular lens effect to show part of the space being used for different times of the day and in different configurations. Then the "lens" slowly closes, with the camera still panning over the space. Parts of the space (e.g. people, trees, etc.) sometimes overlap the BBC logo and "'''ONE'''" as the ident animates. However, "Warehouse" has parts of the space sometimes overlap the "Subtitles" text as the ident animates.
