''' | '''Visuals:''' On a background is a rotating earth globe cutting a {{color|gray|grey}} and white stripe. At the bottom we see four slanted boxes with word "'''''B B C'''''" on the first, second and third box, and a number "'''''1'''''" on the fourth box. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, a globe with glowing {{color|blue}} continents slowly rotates as it casts the images of continents on the other side of the world onto the wall behind it. Underneath the globe is "{{color|blue|BBC 1 COLOUR}}" written in {{color|blue}} (with the word "{{Font|Helvetica|{{color|blue|COLOUR}}}}" in the Helvetica typeface). | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a solid black background, a computer-generated, semi-transparent {{color|blue}} globe with {{color|gold|golden}} landmasses slowly spins around at a steady pace throughout, and has the effect of a spotlight added to the surface. The planet being partially transparent as you can see the shadows of the continents on the other side of the world through the water. Underneath the globe, "{{color|gold|BBC 1}}" is written in a {{color|gold}} serif font, similar to that used in the early days of the BBC. | ||
'''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.

''' | '''Visuals:''' Same concept as before, except the globe is now on a space background and surrounded by a swirling smoky atmosphere, the stylised numeral "1" is in the centre and now big. The 1988 BBC logo appears at the bottom of the screen. This was also the final time BBC One was called "BBC 1". | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was designed by Martin Lambie-Nairn, and was created by filming a physical sphere with the smoky effects added post-production. It was played out using modified Sony LaserDiscs, one announcer used to request the network director to spin the laserdisc to a specific point in this ident, red globe for comedy, blue for drama. | '''Trivia:''' This logo was designed by Martin Lambie-Nairn, and was created by filming a physical sphere with the smoky effects added post-production.

''' | '''Visuals:''' Inside a scene depending on one of several locations (seen below), a globe-patterned balloon flies. The pattern of the globe uses a {{color|red}} colour for sea, and {{color|orange}} colour 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. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' At a specific location, a type of dance or specific movement is shown depending on the variant. At the bottom-left of the screen is the BBC One logo, consisting of a {{color|red}} square with a small BBC logo, with ONE below it in a much larger font. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' At the centre of the scene is the then-current BBC One logo, comprised of the 1997 BBC logo and the text "one" next to it in a lowercase proprietary font. As the logo appears, white swooshes of varying size and transparency spin around the logo, creating a circular effect. On 3 November 2010, when BBC One HD launched, the swooshes are red instead. Where the logo forms depends on the ident. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Depending on the ident, it showcases the everyday lives of British people and their activities. On the bottom are details (activity, location) of the scene, which fades out to the text "oneness" forming via a circular swirling line, in the same transition to the 2006 idents. The "e" extends to "ness" in a handwritten cursive font. "ness" fades out and the 1997 BBC logo fades in on the top left of "one". | ||
'''Later Variant:''' Beginning on October 20, 2021, with the introduction of the BBC's new logo, the idents were altered a bit. The new 2021 BBC logo appears with the blocks after the promos and stings deforming in shape a bit, and instead of the "oneness" text appear, the activity and location fades to "'''ONE'''" (in BBC Reith Bold), like with the new BBC logo. The "Subtitles" graphic is now placed in a full widescreen picture, rather than being in its original place of a 4:3 picture. | '''Later Variant:''' Beginning on October 20, 2021, with the introduction of the BBC's new logo, the idents were altered a bit.

''' | '''Visuals:''' Several rectangles in different sizes appear one by one on a black background. Inside each of the rectangles, it shows someone doing a certain activity in their home (everyone does the same activity for each ident). After a few seconds, the "oneness" logo from the last logo animates as usual. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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 centre 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. | ||
'''Trivia:''' "Lens" was first teased as the new identity for BBC One during the promo endboards and break-bumpers on October 20, 2021. | '''Trivia:''' "Lens" was first teased as the new identity for BBC One during the promo endboards and break-bumpers on October 20, 2021. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | ||
