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. It was a model made of piano wire, brass and flashing lights, created by Abram Games. It featured a spinning globe in the centre and two spinning eyes, each going in ...
The BBC America versions of the idents featured the words "One World" (a slogan of BBC America that debuted in the spring of 2007) in the same font and position as the "One" in the BBC One logo before animating itself into the then-current stacked BBC America logo.

They replaced the balloon idents , and spelled the end of the much recognised globe identity by the BBC , which had been used in various ways since 1963.
In 2002, the BBC One balloon idents were discontinued, as was the globe. The BBC Two idents that were in use since 1991 had been discontinued shortly before. BBC One's idents were replaced with a new series known as "Rhythm & Movement", which were themed around dance and multiculturalism.
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. Each disc rotated in a different direction to the disc immediately above and below it, and had colour added through the NODD system that was used to make the BBC1 mirror ...
