BBC One: Difference between revisions

'''Variants:''' There were many variants including wave-shaped colour 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 grey with "BBC" on the top and bottom, all on a grey 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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, but may contain music and/or a continuity announcer.

'''Logo:''' On a black background is a white outlined circle. Inside the circle are four white blocks, three square and one rectangular. The square blocks contain the letters "B", "B" and "C" respectively, each letter in a bold italic font, and the rectangular block contains "tv". A map of the UK, divided into the seven BBC regions of the time (North of England, English Midlands, West of England, London, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), fades in behind the blocks.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, unless you count the continuity announcer.

'''Variant:''' On every episode of the UK English dub of ''The Magic Roundabout'', it appears on the closing scene.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the last logo.

'''Logo:''' On a white/black background is a globe. In the globe is 3 blocks saying <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''B<nowiki>''</nowiki>''''', <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''B<nowiki>''</nowiki>''''' and <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''C<nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''. Next to the blocks is <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''tv<nowiki>''</nowiki>'''''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, but may contain music and/or a continuity announcer.

'''Later Variant:''' From April 1964, "tv" is omitted, leaving just the BBC blocks in the bottom right.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, just the announcer.

*There is a prototype variant of this logo, in which there is one large white stripe instead of three in the later version; this was seen from April to June 1966.

*Christmas 1967: The globe is replaced with a candle. "Christmas BBC1" appears instead of the BBC1 blocks and snowflake tinsel appears on the top and the bottom.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, just the announcer.

*Christmas 1968: The ident is unknown, but in a trailer package a giant snowflake replaces the globe. The BBC1 logo is inverted.

*A slightly modified variant was introduced in the Summer of 1969.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, just the announcer.

'''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 centre, though the second hand poked through. This clock was used from 1969-72; later variants feature an oblique serif typeface to typeset the word colour. It was actually a real clock and filmed at the correct time, often appearing just before the actual ident.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Again, see 1st logo. However, the British national anthem played at closedown.

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

'''Music/Sounds:''' See 1st logo. Again, the British national anthem played at closedown.

*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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' See 1st logo. Once again, the British national anthem played at closedown.

** Hogsmanay 1990 (Scotland): BBC1 Scotland used the national ident that year, but for Hogsmanay a version of the COW was used: it's much bigger and a green party hat is on the top of it. The usual "BBC1 Scotland" text unusually appears on the top right, rather than the middle due to the size of the COW.

'''Music/Sounds:''' See the first logo's description. Yet again, the British national anthem played at closedown.

* 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 in traditional Scottish garb; the top and bottom ones are male, and the middle is female.

'''Music/Sounds:''' See 1st logo. Christmas idents had music, however, and the British National Anthem played at closedown.

*Christmas 2000: We see a view of Santa Claus dropping a present with a parachute. Then we see the complete scene of Santa Claus dropping presents all over the city, on the BBC 1 globe.

*Christmas 2001: Three toys interact and fly around a room as they float around on helium balloons, with a Christmas tree on the side. We move to the window, where we can see the BBC 1 globe in the sky. The toys each represent something on the Christmas Day schedule. The dinosaur represents the terrestrial premiere of ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park''. The Trotters Van represents the ''Only Fools and Horses'' episode "If They Could See Us Now", the first to air of the series since 1996, and the robot dog represents the terrestrial premiere of ''Toy Story''. This ident package was produced by [[Aardman Animations|Aardman Animations]].

'''Music/Sounds:''' An ethereal ambience mostly consisting of a piano ditty. Several different variants were used, mostly changing the arrangement and other instruments involved with it. The British national anthem played at closedown until 9 November 1997, when BBC News 24 was launched.

*Christmas 2005: Several children, again dressed in {{color|red}}, are walking round a giant Christmas tree, carrying brightly coloured balls.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Depends on the variant, though they all share the same basic melody.

*Dog Show: TBA

*Lawn: TBA

'''Music/Sounds:''' Depends on the ident, however they have the same 3-note jingle (or a six-note jingle, which was used from 2006-2009).  Notably, the original idents themselves were all composed by Imran Hanif, though later revisions and further idents would be done by David Arnold.

*Steel Pan Band, Plymouth: A group of 12 people in red T-shirts performing Calypso music with steel pan drums. Filmed in Plymouth at Tinside Lido.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Sounds vary throughout the variants, depending on what is happening. This can ranging from ambience, to music.

**England Fans, From Across the UK (2 versions): Aired before programming leading to the finals of Euro 2021 between England and Italy.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Depends on the ident.

*Café – First Date: A couple having their first date in a café. The lens rotates to reveal a group of people celebrating about winning a cup in the café and a group of builders having a food break in the café.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Ambient music, along with whatever is happening in the ident.

'''Logo:''' A globe can be seen spinning; however, it slowly fades to a numeral "1", which looks more like a Roman numeral than an actual numeral. It also has a metal ring around it, making it seem more like a metallic ball. Some of the globe is still visible after the finished product. The 1988 BBC logo also appears below as well.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A deep harmonic tune, which finishes after the animation has completed.
