Out go the rugby players, Brazilian roof dancers and basketball players in come swirling kites and swimming hippoes. Putting the £1.2 million cost aside, or not if you prefer, classic or dud

Dud, for getting rid of the astonishingly leggy tango dancer, otherwise I'm undecided at the moment.

I found the old ones extremely annoying, so I'm in favour of the change but I wouldn't go as far as classic.

I just marvelled at the swimming hippos just now before the Holiday programme came on and thought about starting this thread.

I kind of liked the free-running dudes though, and the 80s throwback women. The salsa class people always made me want to be able to do that, they make it look so easy.

Neither are a patch on the classic BBC 2 idents from the 90's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj44vZo2Pqk

Favourites, probably the swan and cygnets, paint splash, the shadow and the rubber 'duck'.

Yeah, I much prefer the simplicity of the BBC2 stuff. The creepy Eno-esque ones really remind me of watching Twin Peaks.

Hippos and kites = great. The moon one is very silly and made me laugh out loud.

The people in the council flat ident look very middle class.

The C4 ones at the moment are pretty good.

found this christmas one, more of ad for digital than an ident tho

― Jarlrmai, Monday, 6 April 2009 17:56 (seventeen years ago)

does BBC 2 have its own unique idents these days? When I try to recall them I still think of those 1991-2001 ones linked to up there.

good god, the head of heads. I don't know why it's so horrifying, but it is.

This didn't last long, had a lot of complaints.

BBC2 has two I can think of - a zoetrope with "2"s instead of slots, and the interior of a car with a "2" shaped sunroof

i have sworn a blood oath of fealty to red bee media but i must say the C4 idents wipe the floor with everyone else's

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 April 2009 23:14 (seventeen years ago)

there's also the one where they spray a pink 2 stencil onto a football

also WHO is the husky-voiced bbc 2 lady announcer? there is some bitchy thread about her on digital spy forum but she sounds sexeh imo

― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Monday, 6 April 2009 23:31 (seventeen years ago)

i dunno but i can find out!

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 April 2009 23:35 (seventeen years ago)
