'''Visuals:''' | '''Visuals:''' The idents revolve around a "2", a largely modified version of the one used from 1991-2007, zooming out in form of various places and objects, often as a window looking out onto contrasting scenery. The BBC Two box is also coloured teal this time. | ||
'''Variants:''' | '''Trivia:''' The rebrand was done in a collaboration of Red Bee Media and Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. The latter company's involvement marked the first time an advertising agency had won such a commission. | ||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* From 18 February 2007 to 16 June 2009, the BBC Two logo fades in late into the ident on the left side of the screen. | |||
* For the first two days of Otober 2008, two of the idents were edited to have the official BBC logo instead of the BBC Two logo. | |||
* From 16 June 2009 to 14 November 2014, the BBC Two box is at the opposite side of the screen (much like the previous logo) already formed, and it later fades out. | |||

*Cappuccino: A paper with a 2 cut out is held over a cup, while chocolate pieces are sprinkled on top. The paper is then removed, so we can see, albeit through the stencil, that there is now a chocolate 2 atop a cappuccino. There were two variants to this ident. The form up is the same, but in one the 2 is disturbed by the drinker dropping in two sugar cubes, and the other by the drinker scooping the froth off of the top. The colour of the chocolate pieces is also different between both versions. Withdrawn in 2009. | *Cappuccino: A paper with a 2 cut out is held over a cup, while chocolate pieces are sprinkled on top.
