As with the fanfare - which is more orchestral in this ident - there were many different animations of the logo. Here, the coloured blocks rotate around the vertical axis rather than fall in to place.

And yet another animation. However, after ten years, the fanfare was replaced by a different musical score which had just a hint of the original.
