BBC TWO : Current Idents

BBC TWO BBC TWO

February 2007 saw the launch of the third generation of BBC2's idents based on the familiar '2' symbol. The theme is looking at the world through the logo. Many of the idents have variations - here, as the stencil is removed from the top of the cappuccino, you see sugar cubes dropping into the coffee.

An interesting contrast - a Victorian zoetrope used to view a futuristic city with flying vehicles.
