Visuals:
- Opening: Over a black background, a white, two-layered, four-pointed star starts to draw in, with the smaller one starting with the top spire, while the large one starts with the left, where rainbow-coloured fragments fly in from the top and bottom of the screen towards the star, shaped liked parallelograms. As the star finishes drawing, the coloured shapes stop coming from the bottom as an orange line with a "V" shaped bend in the middle flies in, accompanied by a different trail effect. It stops below the star, and the parallelogram fragments return from the bottom as the striped letters "BBC" and "IDEO" are drawn in white at either side of the "V", with the outsides drawn in from the right and the insides from the left. The line with the "V" is also traced over in white, with the layering reversed. After the logo forms, the parallelograms eventually fully retract into the logo and a light shines inside the star, leaving behind a dim blue glow.
- Closing: The logo starts off fully formed, with the rainbow parallelograms already present, as "BBC VIDEO" is erased in a "reversed" fashion to the opening: the outsides wipe away from the left, the insides wipe away from the right, and the "V" doesn't leave behind a orange trail. The parallelograms are fully retracted as usual, leaving behind the four-pointed star. As the light from the opening variant shines inside the star and this copyright notice appears (in the Futura typeface):
and BBC ENTERPRISES LTD.
(year in Roman numerals)
the star is erased in the same fashion, leaving the light's blue after-shadow, before the light returns and then dims as the text fades out.
Variants:
- The copyright date (in Roman numerals) may sometimes be in a different font other than Futura. It also appears that the 1981 and sometimes 1982 versions are the only ones that appear to be "natural" as the rest appear with some kind of video effect.
- The amount of time between the words finishing drawing in and the parallelograms stopping may vary.
- On later VHS releases, the closing logo has a shadow effect added when the star is being drawn away, and the light also now fades instead of dimming. This was originally used during 1983 and early 1984 before becoming permanent beginning in 1985 onwards.
- On some VHS releases, the closing logo is shortened, starting from when the copyright disclaimer fades in.
- On the 1981 UK VHS release of Rock Flashback: Deep Purple - California Jam 1974, the text "ROCK FLASHBACK" in an orange Revue font with a yellow outline fades in after the logo finishes animating. The closing variant also adds an extra copyright notice reading "Original recording © Deep Purple MCMLXXIV" below the normal copyright in a Helvetica font.
- On John Martyn - In Vision 1973-1981 and other Rock Flashback releases, the "ROCK FLASHBACK" appears in black, with a white outline.
- On the 1982 UK VHS release of Little Nezha Fights Great Dragon Kings, the words "This is a wide screen film" fade in shortly before the star stops shining.
- On the 1987 UK VHS release of 101 Great Goals, the logo is superimposed onto a football match. At the end, a still variant of the normal opening logo with the copyright notice is used.
- On the 1987 UK VHS release of Watch With Mother, the logo turns black-and-white when the "V" flies in; the closing starts in black-and-white but turns into colour before the text is erased. Another version of this exists where it fades to the B&W effect as well on some other releases.
- On a promo variant, the logo seems to fly backwards as it finishes.
- On a trailer/promo VHS, the regular logo is seen for a few seconds until it cuts to a black background with a blue book sideways with the print logo of the time. At the bottom (or in the end of the tape, the top), "NEW VIDEO TASTIES" is seen in yellow. The closing logo starts when the text is erased, and the copyright date uses a 1982 version at its base, with an extra "I" added to the end of the copyright date to read instead as "MCMLXXXIII", and it fades out.
- On most U.S. VHS releases distributed by CBS/Fox Video or Playhouse Video, the copyright disclaimer in the closing version is removed due to legal reasons.
Technique: Advanced backlit animation.
Audio: There are five main versions each for both opening and closing variants:
- Opening:
- (1981-1984 variant 1) A big band marching band-type tune, with kettle drums, in B♭ major.
- (1981-1984 variant 2) A Moog synth tune with a marching-band flair (sounding similar to the first tune), also in B♭ major. Used in tandem with the first tune.
- (1981-1984 variant 3) An orchestrated version of the first and second tunes in a different key (C major), led by violins.
- (1981-1984 variant 4) A laid-back rock version of the first and second tunes in a different key (D♯/E♭ major).
- (1984-1988) A bouncy synthesized theme that ends with drawn-out synth notes and a three-note synth-horn fanfare. A "whoosh" is also used to mark the flying in of the "V". This has been composed to match the animation as close as possible. Composed by Peter Howell, who also arranged the early 1980s version of the Doctor Who
theme.
- Closing:
- (1981-1984 variant 1) A re-arranged version of the marching band-type tune with a powerful flourish.
- (1981-1984 variant 2) A re-arranged version of the Moog synth tune with a longer beginning and more grand ending.
- (1981-1984 variant 3) A slower re-arranged version of the string-led tune.
- (1981-1984 variant 4) A slower re-arranged version of the rock tune with an electric guitar strum.
- (1984-1988) Ascending synth notes and chimes that lead into a shorter version of the opening logo's music with an extended, rather sombre ending.
Audio Variants:
- On the Mister Smith's Garden trilogy, an extended version of the first track plays at the end of the feature.
- On Sea Power, the sound of waves crashing plays. The opening uses the first track.
- On The Queen's Birthday Parade, the ending theme to the feature (a marching band) plays instead. The opening uses the first track.
- On Watch with Mother, "Dolls House Suite: Polka" by Paul Lewis, plays at both the beginning and end.
- On the shortened closing variant, the logo is silent.
- A silent version of the normal closing variant also occurs on the 1983 German VHS release of Ryan. However, the opening still uses the first track.

Visuals:
- Opening: Fading from the warning screen, a Miller cylindrical map projection of the world fades in, metallic gold (land) on blue (sea), which subtly waves up and down like a flag. The map then folds into a rotating globe (which is a modified version of the BBC1 "Computer Originated World" ident from 1985-1991). The reverse of the globe can be seen through the "sea" of the globe. From the front and bottom of the screen, the text "BBC VIDEO" in a copper Photina-like font flies in from the bottom. When it stops below the globe, two of the letters sparkle before the globe and text fade out.
- Closing: The opening sequence reverses, with the "BBC VIDEO" text flying out and the globe unfolding back into a map. This copyright disclaimer in a yellow-gold ITC Avant Garde Gothic text then fades in:
and BBC ENTERPRISES LTD.
(year in Roman numerals)
And after a few seconds, everything fades out.
Variants:
- Starting in late 1990, the font for the copyright disclaimer is changed to Helvetica Condensed, and it also now has a drop shadow.
- An extended variant exists, which is seen on some UK VHS releases, in which the globe turns for longer.
- A shortened version of the closing variant also exists, which only has the ending part with the copyright text over the map (similar to the previous logo's short closing variant).
- On BBC Video World VHS releases, the "BBC VIDEO" text is closer together, and "WORLD" is added below. The text also comes in just as the globe forms and doesn't shine. After a few seconds, it shrinks to the upper right corner to begin the video.
- In-between certain sections, the logo is still except for the globe spinning a la a the BBC One ident.
- On certain UK VHS releases such as Bill & Ben Flower Pot Men, as the text finishes sparkling, it would cut to a promo card.
- On the 1989 UK VHS re-release of The Magic Roundabout, the closing variant briefly flashes back on screen after it fades to black before fading to the copyright warning.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An ominous-sounding bass drone, which builds into a calm synth tune with tribal beats as well as faint, rhythmic whistling later on. For the closing version, each section of the opening logo's music plays in reverse order. The music samples "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" by Isao Tomita while the beginning may also sound like the song "Hallelujah" by "Enigma".
Audio Variants:
- The closing variant could rarely have the music from the 1984-1988 version of the 1st logo.
- A stereo mix version exists, but is rarely used. This version has been spotted on The Official History Of Manchester United FC (this logo's debut appearance), Blackadder Goes Forth, at least two Fireman Sam titles (those being Norman's Pitfall and All in a Good Cause), Captain Pugwash titles (both Seafaring Tales and The Flying Buccaneer) and Pingu: Barrel of Fun (this logo's final appearance).
- On some UK VHS releases such as Captain Pugwash: Seafaring Tales and Postman Pat's Big Video, the music would continue playing throughout the tape's title card.
- On the 1988 UK VHS release of The Ashes '72: Fast and Furious, the shortened version of the closing variant of this logo is silent.
- On at least the U.S. VHS release of Doctor Who: Terror of the Zygons, the music from the 1984-1988 version of the 1st logo plays over the opening variant of this logo, with its own music remaining intact.
Availability: Seen on BBC material in the UK from the time-period until 1991, and is also preserved on some older CBS/Fox releases in the United States.
- Blackadder Goes Forth is one video that has this logo.
- The 2020 Doctor Who: The Collection - Season 26 (UK/Australia)/Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy Complete Season Three (U.S.) Blu-ray box set also retains this logo on the alternate 1991 VHS cut of the Doctor Who serial "The Curse of Fenric".
- It is also seen on the 1988 UK VHS releases of Postman Pat's Big Video, Rupert, Stoppit and Tidyup, Play School: Replay, Roland Rat The Series: Volume 1, and Charlie Chalk: Shipwrecked Charlie, the 1989 UK VHS releases of Trumpton 1: The Greenhouse, P.C. Pinkerton: Rain Rain Go Away, Camberwick Green 1: Mickey Murphy the Baker, Chigley 1: A Present for Lord Belborough, Animated Alphabet, and The Magic Roundabout (1989 re-release), the 1990 UK VHS releases of Edd the Duck: Awesome Dood! and Captain Pugwash: Seafaring Tales, and the 1991 UK VHS releases of Ivor the Engine: The First Story, Captain Pugwash 2: The Flying Buccaneer, Charlie Chalk: Mildred's Day Off, Grim Tales: The Little Peasant, The Magic Roundabout 2, and Pingu: Barrel of Fun (which would be this logo's final appearance), respectively.
- It is also seen on the Fireman Sam UK VHS releases from Fireman Sam 3: Sam's Day Off to Fireman Sam 6: All in a Good Cause.
- It is also seen on the UK VHS releases of Fantastic Max and The Further Adventures of SuperTed, respectively.
- The short closing variant of this logo can be found at the end of the 1988 UK VHS release of The Ashes '72: Fast and Furious.

Visuals:
- Opening: Two streaks come in from each side of the screen, with a blue streak coming in from the right of the screen and a green streak coming from the left of the screen. The two streaks then collide to form a red line in the middle of the screen and they leave behind green and blue lines afterwards. The BBC boxes fade in above those lines, rather dimly before fully brightening up as they form a CGI version of the 1987 BBC logo used at the time. The letters also appear to have shadows underneath them and the lines have glows on the bottom of the blocks.
- Closing: The same opening sequence plays, except when the 1987 BBC boxes fade in, this copyright disclaimer fades in as well:
and BBC ENTERPRISES LTD.
(year in Roman numerals)
Trivia:
- Before going onto usage for BBC Video, the logo was created by designers Sue Worthy and Brendon Norman-Ross in 1989 as an ID for the end of BBC trailers and promos at the time. As the streaks animate inwards, the words "TELEVISION" and "RADIO" in the then-current BBC corporate font (Futura Bold Condensed Italic) fade in and out above the smaller 1987 BBC logo as it appears. Said ID can also be viewed here, for those living in the UK; for people outside the UK, said ID can be viewed here.
- The 1987 BBC logo (which was designed by Michael Peters) first appeared on-air in 1988 on the BBC Sport titles and some regional news programmes. The 1987 BBC logo then appeared on copyright tag of television programmes and radio station in 1990 and appeared on the rebranded BBC1 and BBC2 on 16 February 1991.
- This logo is noted to scare children for its nature, piano piece and animation.
Variants:
- On the 1996 UK VHS release of Bottom Fluff, a tape which contains outtakes and unused footage from the sitcom Bottom, silhouettes of the show's stars, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson can be seen messing around at the bottom of the screen during the second half of the logo.
- On the 1995 UK VHS release of the Doctor Who episode "The Five Doctors", the 1987 BBC logo is snatched up by the Time Scoop (the device that kidnapped the Doctor's incarnations and his companions at the beginning of the story).
- Re-releases with this logo have the copyright disclaimer in a different font (e.g. Helvetica or Gill Sans).
- When BBC Enterprises became BBC Worldwide in 1995, the disclaimer in the closing variant is altered in mid-1995 to read:
and BBC WORLDWIDE LTD.
(year in Roman numerals)
- On They Think It's All Over: No Holds Barred, the closing logo had a different copyright notice reading:
BBC TELEVISION
(year in Roman numerals)
- On The Best of The Mrs. Merton Show: Series One and Two, and Neverwhere, the copyright disclaimer just simply reads:
(year in Roman numerals)
- On the very last releases to have this logo (around mid-1997) the closing variant has this new disclaimer and copyright date:
© BBC (in its 1987 print logo) (year in Roman numerals)
- At the end of the BBC TV Cooks video series, the disclaimer and copyright date are altered to read:
© BBC Worldwide Ltd. (year in Roman numerals)
- At the end of The Wrong Trousers on the 1997 U.S. Laserdisc release of all three Wallace & Gromit short films, the closing variant is still.
Technique: 2D and 3D computer animation.
Audio: A sombre nine-note piano piece, with short pauses after third and sixth notes, followed by the sound of a choir holding the final note. This was composed on a Korg M1 synthesiser.
Audio Variants:
- A low-tone version of the 1991 fanfare exists. On this version, the music comes in when the green and blue streaks collide.
- On the "Five Doctors" variant, a spinning whirl sound is heard when the Time Scoop steals the 1987 BBC logo.
- At the start and end of the 1997 UK VHS release of Diana: A Celebration (one of the last VHS releases to have this logo), the logo is completely silent, which is likely to pay respect to Princess Diana, who died a few weeks prior. This also occurs with the 1993 UK VHS release of Poldark Series 1 Volume 1.
- This also happens at the end of the former's U.S. VHS release, due to the next logo appearing at the start instead.
- On some re-releases (mainly from those that originally contained the 1984 version of the 1981 logo), such as the 1993 UK VHS re-release of Animal Farm (1954), and the 1994 UK VHS re-release of Arsenal 1886-1986, among others, the 1984 music from the 1981 logo can be faintly heard playing over the logo and warning screen, due to poor plastering.
Availability: Seen on some BBC programmes on UK VHS releases from the time-period until 1997, such as Season 1 of Yes Prime Minister, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Pingu, Noddy's Toyland Adventures and The Animals of Farthing Wood, among many others.
- The Doctor Who variant is also included on the 2008 DVD release of "The Five Doctors", not as the opening logo, but as an Easter egg. To find it, go to "Special Features" on Disc 2, then highlight "Nationwide" and go left.
- This logo is also intact on the 2004 DVD release of Wallace and Gromit in Three Grand Adventures from DreamWorks Home Entertainment.
- It can also sometimes plaster previous logos on re-releases, and is seen on all Pingu VHS releases at the time in the UK (Barrel of Fun used the last logo though, although a rare print contains this logo instead, which also exists).
- The silent variant (with the 1993 (MCMXCIII) copyright date) is also included at the end of the UK DVD release of Poldark Series 1 Volume 1 released by Playback in 2003, due to it coming from the 1993 UK VHS master.
- The closing logo (with the 1994 (MCMXCIV) copyright date) is also included at the end of the DVD release of Doctor Who: More Than 30 Years in the Tardis from the Doctor Who: The Legacy Collection DVD box set released in 2013.
- The closing logo (with the 1995 (MCMXCV) copyright date) is also included at the end of the 2007 UK DVD release of Red Dwarf Smeg Outs on the Red Dwarf: Just the Smegs.
- Both the opening and closing variants are also intact on "The Colin Baker Years" when it was re-released in full as a special feature on the Doctor Who Season 22 Blu-ray boxset released in 2022.
- The opening variant is also fully intact, complete with the accompanying warning screen on the VHS edit of "Silver Nemesis" released as part of the Doctor Who Season 25 Blu-ray box set, and the closing variant can also be found on the 1988 behind-the-scenes documentary for "Silver Nemesis" also on the aforementioned box set.
- This logo is also seen three times on the 1997 U.S. Laserdisc release of all three Wallace & Gromit short films, both before and after A Grand Day Out (albeit in low tone), one with the still variant mentioned above, and one at the end of A Close Shave.
- However, the next logo appears instead at the beginning of the latter.
- This logo is also seen on the 1992 UK VHS release of Spider!: I'm Only Scary 'cos I'm Hairy!, the 1993 UK VHS releases of Mr. Blobby, and The Very Best of the Clangers, the 1994 UK VHS releases of The Little Polar Bear: The Ice Floe, Blinky Bill: The Movie, The Very Best of Fireman Sam 2, and BBC Children's Christmas Cracker, the 1995 UK VHS releases of Felix the Cat: The Leprechaun King, The New Adventures of Skippy, and William's Wish Wellingtons: William and Barksure, the 1996 UK VHS release of BBC Children's Sensational Summer Fun, and the 1997 UK VHS releases of Dino Babies: When Dinos Soar, Teletubbies: Here Come The Teletubbies, Teletubbies: Dance with The Teletubbies, Toybox 1, and Toybox 2, respectively, among many others.
- This logo is also seen on the 1996 U.S. VHS release of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
- So far, the only known appearance of this logo on DVD during its lifespan was at the end of a UK promotional DVD release for Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave, released by Panasonic in June 1997, most likely reusing the original 1995 UK VHS master.
- Both the opening and closing (with the 1993 (MCMXCIII) copyright date) variants also make an appearance on the 2000 Swedish VHS release of The Animals of Farthing Wood: The Journey Begins by Sandrew Metronome, due to using the 1993 UK VHS master for both the film, the logo, and the closing variant of the BBC Video warning screen.
Availability Note: This logo was also seen on the former Netflix prints of A Blackadder Christmas Carol, possibly due to using a video master; presumably, it was also seen on PBS broadcasts of the same, as the CBS/Fox release followed this with the 1991 BBC Lionheart Television logo.
.png)
Visuals: Against a white marble background, three black boxes swing in from the right. As they turn to face the screen, the letters "BBC" slide into each one. Once the 1987 BBC logo is formed, three coloured streaks (one blue, one red, and one green) pass under it and leave similarly coloured lines under the boxes. Finally, the word "VIDEO", coloured in grey and set in a spaced-out, condensed font, appears under the completed logo.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The music from the previous logo.
Audio Variant: At the start of the U.S. VHS release version of Diana: A Celebration, the logo is completely silent.
Availability: Seen at the beginning of some CBS/Fox and Fox Video U.S. home video releases of BBC programmes (with the closing variant of the previous logo appearing at the end), such as Absolutely Fabulous.
- The only known UK VHS release to feature this logo was of Red Dwarf V.
- One of the last VHS releases to contain this logo was volume 3 of To the Manor Born.
- This logo is also retained on the Wallace and Gromit short "A Close Shave" on the 1999 U.S. DVD release of Wallace and Gromit: The First Three Adventures, likely because a VHS master print was reused.

Visuals:
- Opening: On a dark navy blue background, various ribbons colored red, green and blue slowly twist and wave. In the center of the screen, the 1997 BBC logo (in white) fades in. The visuals fade out shortly after.
- Closing: The same opening sequence plays, except when the 1997 BBC logo fades in, this disclaimer and copyright date fade in as well:
"© BBC (in its 1997 print logo) (year in Roman numerals)
Trivia:
- The background and colours of the ribbons are based on the flag of the BBC between 1997 and 2021.
- When BBC Video merged with Video Collection International to form 2 Entertain in 2004, in 2005, the closing variant consequently retired (although it remained on some children's releases until 2006).
Variants:
- Sometimes, the logo can be in widescreen; also, the ribbons move differently. This would be seen on VHS and DVD releases of shows with the widescreen format.
- Three Italian variants (presumably a prototype) exist: one where the ribbons are thicker and only move a little bit before looping, and two other variants where the ribbons swirl around. The background is also black and the 1997 BBC logo is slightly different, with shorter squares and black text.
- On The Best of BBC Comedy, the text "BBC Worldwide & The Sunday People Present The BBC Comedy Collection" appears on the background in Gill Sans. BBC Worldwide and The Sunday People have their logos represented instead, and they, along with "BBC Comedy Collection" are also much larger.
- At the end of the UK VHS release, a line-up of BBC Comedy videos of the time is shown on the animated ribbons background. After a while, the line-up fades over to the closing version of the BBC Video ident.
- Starting in 2001 on widescreen releases, the BBC copyright stamp does not have "BBC" in its print logo anymore.
- A slightly altered variant exists, where the ribbons are further away; this can be seen on blue and black backgrounds.
- On the Polish VHS release of The Incredible Adventures of Wallace & Gromit, the logo is shortened so that only the remaining animation (with the 1997 BBC logo) is shown. At the end of the VHS release, the logo is still.
- On a promo for Walking with Dinosaurs, which appears on the U.S. VHS release of Lake Placid, a rare variant appears with "VIDEO" written below the logo.
- A version exists with the 1997 BBC logo at a smaller size and the text "Digital Preview" below it.
- A similar version also exists, which reads "Widescreen Preview".
Technique: Possible live-action footage, alongside a digital graphic with fading effects.
Audio: A calm synth-string/harp theme with a hi-hat clash that's actually a slightly more upbeat arrangement of the 1991 theme.
Audio Variants:
- For the logo's first year, the music is slightly different, as evidenced by slightly sharper audibility of its notes and a slightly faster tempo.
- The "prototype" variant is silent.
- On The Best of BBC Comedy variant, an announcer says "You're watching The Best of BBC Comedy, a hilarious compilation prepared exclusively for readers of The Sunday People."
- At the end of the tape, the same announcer says "We hope you enjoyed this selection of The Best of BBC Comedy, specially compiled for the readers of the Sunday People. Why not watch them in full with your very own collection of BBC comedy videos? Available from all good video retailers." After he finishes, the BBC Video theme plays out over the closing.
- On the Polish VHS release of The Incredible Adventures of Wallace & Gromit, the Wallace & Gromit theme plays over the logo. At the end of the VHS release, it is silent.
Availability: Seen on VHS and DVD releases released by the company from the time-period until 2009.
- One example is the 2003 DVD release of Great Wildlife Moments with David Attenborough.
- One of the last releases to use this logo was the Warner/2 Entertain Region 1 DVD release of Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection: Remastered.
- The last ever release to have the closing variant was LazyTown: Welcome to LazyTown!, released on 11 September 2006.
- The 2000 closing variant is also intact on the 2005 Region 4 DVD Release of Wallace and Gromit: 3 Cracking Adventures (possibly because the master is likely taken from the original 2000 UK DVD release, it is also likely a reprint of the original 2001 region 4 DVD).
- The 2020 Doctor Who: The Collection - Season 26 (UK/Australia)/Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy Complete Season Three (U.S.) Blu-ray box set also retains this logo on the alternate 1998 VHS cut of the Doctor Who serial "Battlefield".
- The 2006 closing variant is also intact at the start of the 2006 Australian DVD release of BBC Children's Favourites.
- The "prototype" logo is seen on DeAgostini releases of Teletubbies in Italy.
- The altered ribbon variants can be found found in the game files of the PC version of Play With the Teletubbies!.
- This logo also makes an appearance on the 2013 DVD release of the Doctor Who episode "The Ice Warriors" as part of the "VHS Links" bonus feature, due to it being taken from the 1998 UK VHS master.
- This logo is also seen on the 1998 UK VHS releases of Toybox 4, Captain Pugwash: 2 Videos On 1, Fun with Pingu, Teletubbies: Favourite Things, Teletubbies: Uh-Oh! Messes & Muddles, and The First Snow Of Winter, the 1999 UK VHS releases of Toybox Bumper Video, Toybox Christmas Video, Pingu: The Biggest Video Ever!, Michael Owen's Soccer Skills, Teletubbies: Musical Playtime, and Teletubbies: Teletubbies and The Snow, the 2000 UK VHS releases of Adventures With Romuald The Reindeer and The Big Knights: The Big Adventures, the 2001 UK VHS releases of Teletubbies: Animals Big and Small, New Toybox, and El Nombre: El Nombre To The Rescue, the 2002 UK VHS releases of Tweenies: Music is Pop-a-Rooney and CBeebies: The Best of Pre-School Television, the 2003 UK VHS release of Teletubbies and The Snow: Limited Edition, and the 2004 UK VHS release of The Little Polar Bear: Series 1, respectively, among many others.
- The full-frame opening variant of the logo also makes an appearance on the 2016 Australian DVD releases of The Sooty Show and Sooty Christmas Special, likely due to a fault on local distributor Roadshow Entertainment's part.
