* In 1999, a special edition was used when the balloon eclipsed the sunlight. This was due to a total solar eclipse of that year.

* There is a version for ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' where the balloon flew over a desert wasteland as a Polacanthus walks into view. Also, one version, in TV programmes hosted by Ben Elton, has a version where the balloon is chased by a white balloon with the text "POLICE".

* Several variants were produced for ''The Ben Elton Show''. A few examples include the balloon being chased by another balloon resembling a police vehicle, and the 2 from BBC Two's "Blade" ident slicing the balloon, causing it to deflate.
* For the celebration of UEFA Euro 2000, there is a variant where a goalkeeper spots the balloon, thinking that it is a football, and tries to catch it; unfortunately, this prevents him from saving the real football, which then hits the goal.

* Christmas 2001: Three toys interact and fly around a room as they float around on helium balloons, with a Christmas tree on the side. The camera moves to the window, where we can see the BBC One 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]].

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

* After Christmas 2016, the first ident, "Exercise Class", started broadcasting at 1am on New Year's Day 2017 (late hours of New Years Eve 2016), and more idents would appear throughout the years. The first two idents were removed after a few months following initial negative reception.
* Presumably to reduce spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and following complaints from viewers on social media that this 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 the final hours of 18 July 2021.


'''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.
