BBC One "Circle" idents

All the idents revolved around a circular theme and all featured a scene which is revealed to end in a circle formation.

[2][3] The circle would then be emphasised by white lines and a red eclipse animating around it and revealing the BBC One logo at the end.

Static slides, now very much a rarely seen occurrence, featured the image as a cut out eclipse in the right hand side of the screen.

On 2 May 2009, all the idents were made shorter with new adaptations of the original Imran Hanif music, with the exception of "Generic", "Hippos" and "Surfers".

Despite the "Circles" package being taken out of rotation on 4 December 2016, this ident was mistakenly used to introduce Reggie Yates: Hidden Australia on 7 September 2017.

[citation needed] Despite the "Circles" package being taken out of rotation on 4 December 2016, this ident was withdrawn in May 2018 due to the 90 second bulletin being axed by the BBC.

A chameleon, which caught and ate a fairy, was added to the Forest ident to promote Life in Cold Blood in February 2008;[11] and to promote the BBC One Wales series Rolf Harris on Welsh Art, the Forest ident was again modified to have a paint like appearance.

A similar modification was made in August 2014, to promote, and which featured, the first episode to involve the Twelfth Doctor.
