They kept finding excuses to put the old 90's idents back on screen. I could tell they were trying to find a way of reinstating them.

[@Thomanory]

and eventually they did...

[@estherastudillo8647]

[@kaihiwatari111]

Timeless masterpieces! Do these also remind anyone of old taped videos in science classes at school?

[@alexrobinson3970]

yes

[@blainy-o93]

Literally the only ident I remember from said videos is the balloon one that I had an irrational fear of.

"2000s night" kinda sounds more plausible now ngl

[@charlesblake8499]

The logos change depending on the ident. Example: if the lights identity airs the older BBC logo is shown.

[@yobelkcip]

Logos: BBC 2: BBC 1991 logo Wales: BBC 1997 logo with URL (1999-2001) NI: Whatever logo 1991, 1997

[@dancoulson6579]

It's amazing that as little as twenty years ago, the idents were really this good looking! The idents used now a days are crap in comparison. I'm glad they are using some again for the 50th anniversary. Wish they were here to stay though!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

It's a shame they simply didn't keep these going.

[@nxx99]

They did before september 16th 2018

[@SonicFan08]

You forgot Optics (BBC Two NI, with 1991 logo), Water (BBC Two NI, with 1991 logo), Swan (BBC Two NI, strangely with 1991 logo), Powder (BBC Two NI, with 1991 logo), Powder (BBC Two Wales, with 1997 logo), Silk (BBC Two NI, with 1997 logo), Steam (BBC Two NI, with 1997 logo), Neon (BBC Two NI, with 1997 logo) and Car (BBC Two NI, with 1997 logo).
