The original BBC Four idents from 2002 to 2005. BBC Four was launched on 2 March 2002. The channel's first series of idents were dynamic and reacted to the frequencies of continuity announcers' voices or background music. As a result, no idents were ever the same, however variations were produced featuring different visualisations, such as ...
The Bats Wings ident, the first BBC ident. The ident they called the "Bat's Wings" was introduced on 2 December 1953. A new media needed a new way to brand itself, and this was it.

The ident was aired through a solid-state computer device, not unlike the one used later for BBC1's Computer Originated World, built by BBC engineers, and designed by Oliver Elmes. The concept of the double striped '2' had been around for a long time: following the two television channels dropping ...
The ident was commonly believed to be caused by two rotating cylinders, however they were in fact formed by 23 stacked discs, each with a different line drawn on the outside.

The Noddy was a camera system used for generating idents for the BBC One and BBC Two television channels from late 1963 [1] to February 1985.
