Nicknames: "The 1991 2s II", "The 2 II", "The 2s: Part Two"
Nicknames: "The 1991 2s ", "The 2", "The 2s"


'''Logo:''' The same as before, but now, instead of an italicized "BBC" logo, it was adapted with the new BBC logo ("BBC TWO"), making it also the first time the channel is called "BBC Two".
'''Logo:''' Various, though all of the idents revolve around a numeral "2" set in Gill Sans Bold.


'''Variants:''' Although the previous regular idents are intact, more idents started to be introduced during this period. Most of these had less of emphasis in the teal color used previously in 1991 to 1997:
'''Variants:''' From the launch of the ident set until October 4, 1997, The BBC corporate logo from 1988 in white appeared at the bottom of the screen. From October 5, 1997 until November 18, 2001, the new BBC Two Logo (The 1997 corporate logo with the word "TWO" next to it, set in Gill Sans) fades in at the bottom of the screen a few seconds in. Many of the idents that were seen during this era are described below.
*Paint: We see a white "2" set against a grey background, as viridian paint hurtles in from the side and splatters against the "2".
*Silk: The "2" is sat underneath teal silk, which is constantly waving.
*Neon: We see the "2" with teal neon tubes inside, which light up randomly.
*Copper Cut-Out: The "2" is cut out of copper, with teal flashes of light and sparks emerging from it. There is also a Black & White variant.
*Water: The "2" is half submerged in water, set on a 45-degree angle. The Water Constantly moves.
*Water Reflection: Same as the Water ident, though the part of the "2" that's in water is reflective.
*Optics: Red, green and blue fibre optics sway around, eventually forming the "2".
*Glass: The "2" is made out of a reflective material. something in the teal colour can be seen moving in the reflection on the "2".
*Blade: against a white to black gradient background, a steel "2" falls onto a teal board, which wobbles upon contact.
*Shadow. A shadow in the shape of the "2" stretches in and out of view.
*Aerial: We see a dark green "2" with aerials attached to it in a red studio, appearing in random places between flashes of static, before finally appearing in the center of the screen.

*Duck: This ident depicted a soapy setting, from which a yellow '2' resembling a rubber duck emerged, giving a little squeak. Later showings of Duck has the 'BBC TWO' DOG's colour changed to black in order to be visible on the lighter background.

*It's Scary Out There: We zoom through an empty graveyard with fog flowing. The camera then zooms in further, until a zombie corpse like "2" bursts out of the ground and the camera suddenly pulls back as lightning flashes briefly.
