how do they do that BBC2 Idents

[@Robert_Manners]

The 1990's BBC 2 idents are my favorite, truly brilliant.

[@MadameSomnambule]

These idents just bursted with creativity, so many things you can do with just a simple number. Props to the designers for making these.

Props to Martin Lambie-Nairn R. I. P

If only this amount of dedication and artistry was put into BBC channel identities today. I love the 1991 2s, but I'd really like a modern version, something the 2007 attempt missed out on. And something as far away from Onesness as is humanly possible.

[@CyberLink70]

Bill Holland I think they use the 1990s idents on 2 now, though...

[@oliverdewar1778]

And they're still in use in 2017, 26 years after they were first introduced!

[@EternityMediaGroup]

As of 27 September 2018, the "2" numeral has been retired. R.I.P 2.

UglyDolls Buddies I like the curve more, and I’m not even british!

[@AW336Lab]

fuck you curve

[@martinevans7090]

@@FancyLines Curve is cool, but it lacks the personality of the old 2.

This film was made in 1995. It is quite amazing.

I Silk 2 Ident gave it the look like it really was a sunken ship underwater, I would've never have guessed at the time it was just silk creating this effect

[@lewsnews2004]

They also did one on this programme about how they did the news in the virtual set - I'd like to see that one, and also how Santa delivers presents... they did that as well.

i love the 2

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for this of course. BBC2 really in 1991 went from the worst TWO ident to the best 2 idents they ever had too really of course! Thank you anyway too.

That period was a naff period.

[@iristoro7051]

5:01 what kind of instrument is that?

[@edwardsimmons2193]

It's one of those rare percussion instruments you'd probably see at your local music stores. Honestly, I'd never once seen any of those in my life.

[@NERDYBLOKE100]

It's a waterphone i think

[@edwardsimmons2193]

Waterphone: a microphone that can be used underwater. Never a telephone that can be used underwater?

[@MrEggcake]

How do you make a steaming number two? ...erm.

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

Maybe its just me. But I feel that the idents which were produced on all four of the mainstream television channels from 1985 onwards, went completely downhill.
