I agree. The Oneness idents are boring, sterile and soulless like everything else about culture in the 21st century. The soul of beauty died in the mid 1990s.

1976’s one is so pretty 1977’s felt so good to look at 19:78’s though… hmmmm… the text is nice but that Santa head… aren’t we supposed to be ENCOURAGING kids to go to sleep on Christmas night? Not keep them up all night with nightmares. I think it would be looked better if the head was more cartoony or they didn’t use it at all and maybe used something like a snowman or had used the rotating globe but also made it look like Santa was flying around it 1979’s is so much better, it just feels so heartwarming and charming 1980’s were so cute 1981’s was pretty 07:04 I think you were probably just hungry, I also think it just shows that you don’t always have to stick to red, green and gold for a Christmas theme, you can use other colours to compliment those main colours

Nothing beats the 1977 ident for me, it's such a clean and well proportioned design that exudes Christmas while completely avoiding tackiness. In general I prefer the less cluttered ones, there's something very elegant and appealing about '82/'83 even if they're conceptually simple.

The 1986 Ident was a Children's BBC competition to design it. In fact there were three winners which were merged to form one ident. The Star, the tree with a face and the marching holly. A similar competition happened again in 2004 on Blue Peter.

I remember the Santa head logo. As a kid I just saw it as a model of Santa - it’s frankly nonsense to suggest that kids were scared by it, or that it would give them nightmares. You might as well say that a Christmas card with a picture of Santa on it would make kids say “Argh! Santa’s gone all flat!” 😄

The 80s really didn’t start until about 1985. Everything before that could just as well have been from the seventies. They didn’t really make it a point to be fashionable or avant with these things until nearer the end of the decade. But at the same time they also started to become more homogenously tasteful by the time the nineties rolled up.
