BBC Video Logo History

[@vintagecrowspirit]

I absolutely loved the 1997-2009 one as a kid. The sound was just so satisfying to me

[@hayleywaalen2612]

It was used on the BBC Multimedia logo

[@LovelyYT]

Same

[@siggs4372]

Played everytime I watched my top gear DVDs, good memories *Edit* plus the second to last 2009 - 2017 logo

[@Telos1807]

I used to be terrified of it. Now whenever I watch a Doctor Who DVD with that intro on, I just get really nostalgic, love it.

[@Magicalwindmill34921]

Same it would always come when i watch Teletubbies

[@TheVeryLastOne]

The logo from 1990 to 1997 happens to be pretty nostalgic for me because it was on a VHS tape I had for Wallace and gromit in the wrong trousers. I may not be from UK but I absolutely love that show and did even when I was a baby

[@LovelyYT]

Did the following Aardman Animations logo scare you? I sure was.

[@LovelyYT]

@Fergus Sutlieff Same!, That one with the weird face, what scared you about it? It was the weird looking man and the music for me.

[@LovelyYT]

@Fergus Sutlieff same!! When I searched it up on YT after many years I didn't wanna watch it because I would have nightmares of the music

[@MinecraftLover2007]

But it’s ominous for it’s depressing music😔

Fucking Teletubbies man. I was scared of it for some reason.

Totally agreed

[@lionocyborg6030]

3:14 I knew this series of logos from my Doctor Who: Death to the Daleks videotape. The outro versions of it are so sad with the music turning to a funeral like tone and the star dying, like the video we just watched & the world within died along with it, That idea haunted me as a toddler.

[@karonesechannel2599]

that logo 1997-2009 is very nostalgic and calming music, it remember me when I was kid, watching teletubbies with my parent and playing with the kids, I wanna pay millions if they made the full song of that song

[@AndrewHill-qy6tj]

1997-2009 Reminds me off school when the teachers used too put the tv on for our classes educational videos

[@timecapsule.]

The 1997-2009 logo is the complete contrast to this, the music used in this logo is very calming and makes me think of a person's soul, having left their body after death, ascending into the afterlife, to be united with their family and friends after a lifetime of pain and suffering, they are finally at peace. I sometimes listen to this one to calm me down during periods of stress.

[@timecapsule.]

When I was younger, I had a video called "Walking with Dinosaurs", it was my favourite video, and before the programme had begun, this piece used to play all the time.

[@JontyMaster]

"Walking with Dinosaurs" has surprisingly very good CGI for 1999.

[@ManF3]

I respect your opinion, ItzAdamIsNoob. The BBC Video logo had scared many people, especially in their 90's childhoods when they're watching Wallace & Gromit tapes, due to the very depressing tune, the animation and the fact that the entire logo is on a black background. And on the Wallace & Gromit tapes, the scare factor just got even worse when this logo got followed by the Aardman Animations "Clayface" logo. One of the scariest British logos of all time, but is not as bad as the Bravo UK 1997 idents (leave them if you are under the age of 16).

[@lemoniicyrubykidshorts8526]

The 1990 - 1997 was so scary and frightening as a child. Looking at the comments, I'm not the only one. I wonder if the creators have (or had) any idea how many kids they scared?
