I’m a teenager from Wisconsin, so I don’t exactly have any memories of BBC 2. But those ‘90s idents are genuinely beautiful. They have such a unique aesthetic that I find so calming and oddly nostalgic. I don’t know who made them, but whoever they are they did a masterful job.
Amazing ident history of BBC Two, Jonty! BBC Two has a lot of great and memorable idents for people that watched the channel in the UK, and I like the idents from 1991-2001 the best! The Paint ident is the most memorable ident from BBC Two, as it's the first ident from the set (1991-2001) to air, and seeing that blue paint splash against an "2" is satisfying to watch. Not only that, but it's also creative, as they rotated the camera 90° to look like that paint is falling sideways! Also, the music in the 1991-2001 idents is nice to listen to. 16:46 The Halloween idents contains blood. Viewer discretion is advised. The 2018 idents, while not as good as the 1991 idents, and even though people may see the idents as bland, they are really creative and, overall, a great successor.
Thanks again, Man! Absolutely agreed. The Paint ident is very creative, and they used clever techniques for most of the 1991-2001 idents. The diary ident (which wasn't shown due to the reason in the description) was filmed with only one page flying away, but they actually looped it so it looked like multiple pages were flying. They were originally going to make more than one page fly away without looping, but the strings got tangled. The 2018 idents are quite nice and are very psychedelic. Stay tuned for my ident history on BBC Three.
I'm so glad you chose to use the remote control car from the 90s idents for the video thumbnail, as this was my first TV ident in childhood. Great compilation of the ident history.
The 90's idents is probably one of the best idents ever made in British television. Circles from BBC One is perhaps a close second, followed by Channel Four's Floating 4.
@@thebigloc1 Very clever indeed. The diary ident (which wasn't shown due to the reason in the description) was filmed with only one page flying away, but they actually looped it so it looked like multiple pages were flying.

@@JontyMaster wow, I love hearing things like that. So cool. I think they are the best indents. I love watching videos on do different indents. Sound wise I love the RTÉ1 indent music and lorimar one.
Is it wrong to feel kinda nostalgic for channels you haven't even watched? The first time I've known of BBC was through PBS. Anyway, if BBC doesn't bring back the 1991 idents for their 60th anniversary I might riot.
Very cool! As a New Zealander who has been part of the logo community since the late 2010s, I can definitely say that those idents are probably one of my favorite British idents of all time.
For some reason they used to use a handful of them ALL the time and rarely used the majority of them. Seemed to defeat the point of making them all, to be honest!
i've gotta give the producers credit for how they did it back then for the 4th Logo, how they did it with primative tech between '78 and '86 is incredible to look at

7th logo the best. Britpop logo for BBC2 in a way. The coolest logo and helped BBC2 with its chunky '2' a cool channel. its Friday night comedies, documentries, totp2, old classic cult shows reshown became popular again and its occasional theme nights were all required viewing in those vhs days of old.
I love how you put in the BBC2 idents from the colour strike, so you can see that they was ment to be in colour but was made in to black and white. The engineer's did them right over😂 and it never really affected the public cause 95% only had a black and white tv anyway so they didn't care. It affected BBC and ITV massively.

What are your favorite idents from BBC Two?
Hello jonty Master
the first one
1991 and 2018
The car and the dog
The cube, the stripes, the computer generated 2, the neon, & the swan are my favourite BBC2 idents

This 2 has a lot of personality.
That's why one of the ident sets is called the Personality 2's

Hello. Good afternoon. My name is Brian López. So, what is your favorite Katy Perry song? Please let me know in the comments down below.
Thanks for these great memories of them from 12 mins 51 on. We got bbc2 where I was in Ireland in 1988
Those idents are an absolute classic in British television. Martin Lambie-Nairn was a genius.
@@JontyMaster I remember one evening in the early 2002 they showed how they created some of those bbc2 indents. It was very clever.
@@thebigloc1 Very clever indeed.

Love your channel and these sort of videos are great as you can watch them or just listen without watching while at work.
I'm glad you enjoy them :-)
Wow! This is also a really good BBC logo history video, I’m really liking these videos!
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for BBC Three!
Alright Then!
Strange sense of comfort seeing these again.
their idents are so creative (especially the personality 2 the window on the world and the 1991 ones)
The 1990’s 2 idents had so much personality.
Indeed. Probably one of, if not, THE most creative television idents of the 90s.
@@JontyMasterAnd they were cute ones too
@@CowboysNo1Fan Yes. :3
You can say that.
Is it wrong to feel kinda nostalgic for channels you haven't even watched? The first time I've known of BBC was through PBS. Anyway, if BBC doesn't bring back the 1991 idents for their 60th anniversary I might riot.
No.
It’s not wrong at all.
Your right
In 17:54, this music definitely gonna made me feel sad😢
This little adorable fluffy number 2.
Happycorn's best friend
its nickname is "fluffy dog" because of their dog acting
As an American living in Ireland in the 90’s..we got the BBC there and I always loved the idents at that time on BBC 2.
Very cool! As a New Zealander who has been part of the logo community since the late 2010s, I can definitely say that those idents are probably one of my favorite British idents of all time.
27:54 What is the 2 doing?
eating cake at the 50th party
i never realised BBC2 had so many variations, a few i remember from when i was younger when i used to play in the living room
For some reason they used to use a handful of them ALL the time and rarely used the majority of them. Seemed to defeat the point of making them all, to be honest!
BBC Two. Definitely one of my favourite/most viewed channels. Kinda missing it.
