*The orange blobs parallel the CBBC green blobs used at the time and the CBeebies yellow blobs which are still used to this day, and show a progression through age groups.

*These IDs won the Royal Television Society Craft & Design Award for Best Trails and Packaging in 2003.

'''Variants:'''  

*A prominent sting showed one blob standing in front of the figure "THREE" shouting "Three!", before another "THREE" rises up from underneath the original, toppling it.

*Idents may feature a snowy environment for the winter season.

*To promote the sketch series ''Little Miss Jocelyn'', some idents are interrupted by the main character Jiffy, stating to give the blobs a ticket.

'''Technique:''' The blobs, which are created by Stefan Marjoram at [[Aardman Animations|Aardman Animations]], and may appear in different genders and costumes. The box containing the logo appears in many transitions, and range from dropping, bouncing, pulsing, and blurring.

'''Logo:''' We start out looking at the world as the straw is passing through the pipes. Various objects and people can be seen as the "BBC '''{{color|deeppink|three}}'''" logo can be seen as the liquid passes by.

*Threefall: Five humans do bungee jumping from the sky. After that, the "BBC Three" logo is shown

*Ooze: We see an extraordinary-looking street; however, the liquid leaks from the cab, making the street nearly flooded. One person is swimming in it and the liquid passes by the "BBC Three" logo.

*Kickstepturn: We see an extraordinary-looking street once again. This time the camera is moving from the left until the "BBC Three" logo is shown.

*Birdbox: One of the people attempts to push the box. However, as the bird moves, they're scared and later, the "BBC Three" logo can be seen.

'''Technique:''' CGI.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An upbeat electronic theme.

*Ripples and Lines: We see dots around the video wall. Afterwards, ripples are shown and the "BBC Three" logo is shown, and various lines can be seen across the video wall.

*Tunnel: We see a tunnel and boxes can be seen in the left and right corners. The tunnel is later formed and the "BBC Three" logo can be seen, albeit the "THREE" is flat. Various forms of the tunnel can be seen.

*Spotlight: We see lights popping out from the video wall and patterns of rhombus showing the logo of "BBC Three", then we see diagonal crosses, lights and a vortex.

*Birds: At first, we see two birds that look glitched out, but then another one passes by. Then we see the "BBC Three" logo. The ident continues as the two birds are doing a formation.

*Sliding Cubes: We see a moving video wall that includes various artwork of skeletons, caricatures and a rose. During the first few seconds, the logo can be seen.

 

 

'''Music/Sounds:''' All idents used an upbeat electronic theme, while the Tunnel ident uses a rock theme.

'''Availability:''' Same as before. It was first used in September 15, 2013, 14 days prior to the channel's rebrand on October 1, 2013.

===4th Logo (January 4, 2016-March 31, 2016) (TV), (February 16, 2016-2022) (online)===

'''Logo:''' We see the then-new BBC Three logo (a pink box containing the roman numeral for three, with the third column stylised as an exclamation mark) in front of a solid grey background. The columns animate and transform into various items.

 

* The columns move around, unveiling a second box with the logo. The logo then transforms into three helmets, which merge into a white box. The box then explodes into an abstract wireframe, then back into the logo while an abstract pink canine figure runs to the left side of the screen. The logo grows lines that turn into a circuit board shape, and rectangles fly in, once again forming the logo. The third column turns into a tablet (with a Droste effect displaying the ident itself) and the remaining two columns transform into a pair of headphones connected to the tablet. The tablet flies out of the screen, showing the logo once more, and the columns turn into three overweight men bouncing. The one in the middle grabs an umbrella, displaying the logo, which then turns into an isometric view of a pink floating island with two buildings and a tree. A stick figure comes out of the taller building, but is then crushed by a pyramid, causing the island to fall and once again showing the logo. This animation then repeats itself for the remainder of the ident.

* The columns turn into various gadgets, which move downwards and the background turns into what appears to be an old building. The logo then fades in and zooms slowly towards the screen, then a different isometric view of a city. Some of the buildings release smoke, and the whole city disappears, leaving the logo against images of ultrasound and CT scans, and the columns turn into medical supplies. They are eventually consumed by pixels which turn into the logo. The columns then merge into a paper map of the world with a compass in the bottom right. Three pink dots on the map appear one by one, and the map then folds itself and turns into three abstract shapes resembling palm trees. The "trees" then turn into the logo. Like the former ident, this animation also repeats itself indefinitely.

 

 

===5th Logo (2019-2021) (block)===

'''Logo:''' A mint green box with three forest green lines rapidly zooms in. The line on the right, which is shorter than the other lines, "jumps" as a square falls below. We then see the square decrease in size as it expands and the lines form a capital "H" with the exclamation point shape attached to the right side. As the square stretches, a "T" appears on the left and "REE" appears on the right, with "IT'S" and "TIME" wiping in next to the square. The process is briefly reversed before the exclamation sign "sucks" the dot in and rises before dropping it out, causing the screen to cut to the logo much closer than before. Some effects appear on the logo as it continues to form "THREE" and repeat the aforementioned ! animation.

'''Availability:''' Was seen on [[BBC One|BBC One]] until 2021.

===6th Logo (2021-2022) (block)===

'''Availability:''' Was seen on BBC One until 2022.

 

 

'''Logo:''' Depends on the variant. This all starts in a {{color|lime|lime}} background with creatures made from hands. "Captain" walks upright on his fingers, "Spider" crawls around with his middle finger acting as his head, and "Pointer" float off the ground and is typically pointing.

* Keyboard: Here, the creatures are represented as hands. They play a yellow keyboard.

* Sometimes the short idents are transitions.

'''Legacy:''' These idents give a nice homage to the BBC Choice idents and are very creative.
