    October 4, 1997 and 1998 are synonymous for two things, the BBC updated their logo in 1997 with the introduction of the balloon idents and ITV also gave their own logo a new look - which lasted a little under 8 years.

    They should bring the 'Balloon' idents back - this year marks 80 years of BBC1 (forgive me if I'm wrong). BBC1 started as the BBC Television Service way back in 1936 (the first regular service).

    The original crop of balloon idents were filmed circa July 1997, so it was quite a quick turnaround from devising the concept, filming, editing and getting it on screen.

    The start of an era that sadly the BBC ended at the last part of 2021.
    But I still prefer this BBC logo with Gill Sans over the current Reith one.
    Since it has given a form some used and some (talking about the Italian counterpart of the BBC) still use today.

      It’s safe to say that since the previous night, the closedown announcers on 1 and 2 didn’t mention the change. Unusual considering the previous change in 1991 did receive a mention the night before the change.

    These are my favourite BBC1 idents ever. I love the Balloon and I love the music too.
    Does anybody know where to get the music from?
    The current "circle" idents that BBC1 play today, I'm not a fan of at all.
    The balloon idents should come back. Hope the BBC will get rid if the current "circle" idents.

      I totally agree with you, The Schedules on BBC Television used to be so good with daytime programmes on BBC One in the morning followed by CBBC in the afternoon where as BBC Two would have CBBC from 7am till 9am followed by schools programmes in the morning with the CBBC birthday cards at 10am.
      Where as weekends BBC One would have CBBC from 7am followed by Live & Kicking at 9am then grandstand after a news summary.
      2001 was the last time BBC Television was used to be fantastic. Now it's just plain rubbish with boring schedules, rubbish programmes like strictly come dancing and rubbish logos.
