They shrink and merge into one white dot just above the center of the screen. A {{Font color|blue|blue} "{{Font color|blue|2}}" is then drawn around the dot, and when it is completed, the word "COLOUR", in white, appears below. The "2" then starts rotating around, and one at a time, three more "2"s (in the same style) appear, colored {{color|red}}, {{Font color|green|green}} and white respectively, before the {{Font color|blue|blue} "{{Font color|blue|2}}" reappears. The rotation continues for the rest of the logo. | ||
'''Trivia:''' Although the logo itself was introduced on 2 December 1967, the animated ident did not appear until 15 November 1969, the same day BBC 1 and ITV began colour broadcasting. Until then, holding slides with the logo were used to introduce programming. | '''Trivia:''' Although the logo itself was introduced on 2 December 1967, the animated ident did not appear until 15 November 1969, the same day BBC 1 and ITV began colour broadcasting.

'''Trivia:''' The logo was actually a mechanical model, like BBC One's mirrored globe at the time. The device was made up of 23 discs that were stacked on top of one another, with white and blue stripes painted on. Twelve stripes were white and started from the right side, while the eleven blue stripes sandwiched in between them started from the left. As the discs rotated inward, the "2" as you see above would form on-screen. Apparently, the device now lives on as a coin-operated amusement in the foyer of BBC Television Centre. | '''Trivia:''' The logo was actually a mechanical model, like BBC One's mirrored globe at the time.
