BBC One: Difference between revisions

'''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.

* The ident itself was a box 12"x9" inches, corresponding to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio used at the time. The globe itself was a small hollow ball, internally lit with a 10V festoon bulb inserted on top. The background was achieved by placing a concave mirror behind the globe. The channel ID was a transparently lit from behind, making it easily interchangeable. Normally, mechanical presentation devices such as clocks were illuminated by the lamp on the NODD camera, but this would have caused the globe's reflection to distort on screen. So an internal light source was used. Both the globe light and the ident light could be adjusted by two separate controls at the back of the device. The land masses on the globe were clear areas, while black metallic paint represented the sea. Apparently the heat from the bulb frequently caused the paint to peel, so regular touch-ups were often required to ensure the continents maintained the "correct shapes" (the logo could look subtlety different from time to time, due to this). And those numerous small "islands" in the mirror globe were actually part of the design and not caused by flaking paint or dust, as you might assume.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the previous logo, but this time, the background is {{color|mediumblue|dark blue}}, and the glowing continents are yellow. Also, below is the white text "'''{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''" in the Futura typeface.

** Christmas 1976: A giant revolving snowflake (not unlike those hanging ones you can buy for your tree) temporarily replaces the globe with a festive red background behind it. The bottom caption states "'''''{{Font|Blackletter Gothic|Christmas}}''/{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''", with "'''''{{Font|Blackletter Gothic|Christmas}}'''''" in a Blackletter Gothic font and "'''{{Font|Futura|BBC 1}}'''" in a striped font (like the next logo). A companion clock was also created.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the previous logo, but this time, "'''BBC 1'''" is stylised, and the continents are now {{color|lime|green}}.

* On the ident's first two days, the blue was {{color|midnightblue|a very dark navy}}, and the continents were {{color|greenyellow|pale yellow-green}}. This was due to a severe problem with the colour scheme. Also, for its first nine months, the ident was modified a few times.

*Station ID: On a solid black background, a computer-generated, semi-transparent blue globe with 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 gold serif font, similar to that used in the early days of the BBC.

* Christmas 2000: There is 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 One 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. 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]].
