BBC Two "Computer Generated 2" ident

The ident itself featured a cream, double striped numeral 2, with two orange lines either side going off screen.

This branding preceded the inception of the new ident by several months, with slides featuring the striped '2' from as early as late 1978.

Some special versions were produced for public celebrations such as Christmas: The ident was reused in early 2005 for the opening continuity announcement in the second series of the period comedy Look Around You.

It was shown in Northern Ireland on the 10th of October 2012 to mark the shutdown of analogue transmissions in the area and shown nationally during the final evening hours of 21 October at 4:35am to lead into the final edition of Pages From Ceefax after 38 years on-screen across the BBC.

On 7 October 2013, this (and its Christmas '79, '84 & '85 ident in England and Northern Ireland), along with others was brought back for BBC Two's "Afternoon Classics" block and last appeared in December 2016.
