'''Music/Sounds:''' Almost all of the variants have spoken lines for the blobs, provided by the BBC Sound Archive. Music plays after the logo transitions, and may range from a rendition of "Three is a Magic Number" from ''Schoolhouse Rock!'', an instrumental version of "In the Morning" by indie rock band Razorlight, an electronic tune, an instrumental of "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado or a cowbell beat (in the case of the yodelling ident). On 12 February 2008, before the channel's first rebrand, the usual music was replaced with music that followed the topic of leaving. Examples include "Release Me" by Engelbert Humperdinck, "Bye Bye Baby" by The Four Seasons and "So Long, Farewell" from the movie ''The Sound of Music''. | '''Music/Sounds:''' Almost all of the variants have spoken lines for the blobs, provided by the BBC Sound Archive.

* 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 {{color|deeppink|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. | * The columns turn into various gadgets, which move downwards and the background turns into what appears to be an old building.
