*Before going onto usage for BBC Video, the logo was created by designers Sue Worthy and Brendon Norman-Ross in 1989 as an ID for the end of BBC trailers and promos at the time. As the streaks animate inwards, the words "''TELEVISION''" and "''RADIO''" in the then-current BBC corporate font (Futura Bold Condensed Italic) fade in and out above the smaller logo as it appears. Said ID can be viewed [https://www.ravensbourne.ac.uk/bbc-motion-graphics-archive/1989-bbc-corporate-identity-sting here], if you're in the UK; for people outside the UK, said ID can be viewed [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fuy22hjfEDj1Bs9xV-HnwKTiw2NVcgba/view?usp=sharing here] . | *Before going onto usage for BBC Video, the logo was created by designers Sue Worthy and Brendon Norman-Ross in 1989 as an ID for the end of BBC trailers and promos at the time.
