===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.

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.

This ident marked the end of the globe symbol which had been associated with the BBC since 1963. In 2023, the Bristol Balloon Collectors announced that the balloon, which is in their collection, would be restored and reinflated for a test flight in June of that same year at the Midlands Air Festival in Alcester, Warwickshire if they find the balloon to be in good enough condition to fly again. While the wind was too strong at the festival for the balloons to fly, the BBC One balloon still got inflated for the first time in 21 years at the event.

'''Availability:''' Was last seen on the evening of 6 October 2006 just before 2am, but you may still find these idents on old recordings of BBC One programmes from 2002-2006.

'''Legacy:''' These idents are widely regarded as some of the best idents seen on British television within recent years, with a strong return to a circular motif seen on BBC One since its earliest years and a creative selection of idents, especially when compared to the following ident package.

'''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 there were no regional idents filmed outside of London.

* These idents were retired on 18 July 2021 due to the UK lifting its COVID-19 restrictions a day later, with "Cat Naps" the last one shown at 1:05am.
