'''Final Note:''' This logo was retired due to the fact that 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. | '''Final Note:''' This logo was retired due to the fact that 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.

'''Final Note:''' BBC1 ceased to use this logo in order to maintain a unified branding with BBC 2, which also switched to the 1991 "2" idents at the same time. | '''Final Note:''' BBC1 ceased to use this logo in order to maintain a unified branding with BBC 2, which also switched to the 1991 "2" idents at the same time. | ||

'''Availability:''' Extinct. After Christmas 2016, the first ident, "Exercise Class", started broadcasting at 1am on New Year's Day, and more idents would appear throughout the years. The first two idents were removed after a few months following initial negative reception. During the UK lockdown to reduce spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and following complaints from viewers on social media that the current set of BBC One idents were not good examples of social distancing, BBC One temporarily suspended their normal idents on 30th April 2020 in favour of the next logo which was used until 19 July 2021. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.

''' | '''Legacy:''' Oneness is often agreed to be the laziest series of BBC idents, showing no charm or value that previous ident branches had shown. It is often compared unfavourably to the Rhythm & Movement idents from 2002. The later 2021 version was only a placeholder while the new ident package was being tweaked because of nations complaining that all of the prepared idents were filmed entirely in London. | ||

'''Availability:''' Extinct. These were meant to be temporary idents as viewers complained on social media that the current set of BBC One idents were not good examples of social distancing. Can be seen before every BBC One programme before 19 July 2021. The first ident, "Tea breaks", started broadcasting before the news at 6pm on April 30, 2020 on BBC One Yorkshire, and more idents would appear in May of the same year. These idents were retired on 19 July 2021 due to the UK lifting its COVID-19 restrictions, with "Cat Naps" the last one shown at 1:05am. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.
