*Christmas 1984 (Wales): We see BBC Wales written in a bold red font similar to the 1974-81 version. Instead of the globe, a kaleidoscope in the shape of a snowflake animates above while Christmas lights on the left and right of the screen twinkle. An adapted clock was also used, which was simply the standard clock but with images of the same snowflakes below. | *Christmas 1984 (Wales): We see BBC Wales written in a bold red font similar to the 1974-81 version.

'''Trivia:''' Work on this logo began in 1983, in response to the revolutionary Channel 4 idents, as well as a desire to update the channel's image. It was a mammoth task combining the efforts of BBC Computer Graphics, Graphic Design and the Designs Departments. The COW was generated by a black box containing several circuit boards. Each board carried one layer of the animation - the BBC1 logo, blue background etc., with switches to input various captions when needed. These boxes were delivered to all eleven regions and installed before Christmas 1984. Their output had an aspect ratio of 5:4 and was cropped for transmission to 4:3. It first appeared at 7pm on Monday 18 February. Originally it was planned to be launched on 1 January 1985, but the launch was deferred to coincide with radical changes to the BBC1 schedule. See [http://www.bbceng.info/Designs/designs_technology/new_world.htm this link] for technical information. | '''Trivia:''' Work on this logo began in 1983, in response to the revolutionary Channel 4 idents, as well as a desire to update the channel's image.
