The previous idents were produced in part by Amanda Dennis (known for her work on <i><a href="/wiki/Australia_Wide" title="Australia Wide">Australia Wide</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Good_Game_(television_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Good Game (television series)">Good Game</a></i>), and were used in some form since the channel's launch, until the 2008 rebrand. The channel's original slogan was <i>"More Choice, More Often"</i>. All promos featured the "Big 2" placed in famous, and iconic Australian locations, such as <a href="/wiki/Port_Jackson" title="Port Jackson">Sydney Harbour</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Melbourne_Convention_%26_Exhibition_Centre" class="mw-redirect" title="Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre">Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Territory" title="Northern Territory">Northern Territory</a>. The "Big 2" was somewhat similar to the on air mascot of <a href="/wiki/BBC_Two" title="BBC Two">BBC Two</a> in appearance. ABC2's logo was modified for the promotion of the channels launch, and for various sporting events, notably the channel's launch, where the logo appeared under-construction, and during the promotion of Australians Women's Netball where it took on the appearance of a netball. </p><p>On 8 February 2008, ABC2 updated to a yellow logo, and slogan to <i>"Connecting 2"</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-newlogo_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newlogo-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as well as moving its digital terrestrial broadcast from Channel 21 to Channel 22. In addition to this, the slogan <i>"More Choice, More Often"</i> was replaced with <i>"Connecting 2"</i>. After concerns in some sections of the media that the 43-year-old <a href="/wiki/Lissajous_curve" title="Lissajous curve">Lissajous curve</a> brand was to disappear completely, ABC management reaffirmed that it would remain in use by the corporation.<sup id="cite_ref-logo08_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-logo08-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-revamp_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-revamp-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On 1 April 2011 the logo was rebranded to look similar to that of the logo used by the ABC channel (then ABC1), and the ABC2 slogan was replaced with <i>"Always Brighter"</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On 20 July 2014 following the main channel's rebrand to the 1974 Lissajous curve logo, new variants of the ABC2 logo were introduced to fit with the classic Lissajous curve. However, the 2011 logo remained in use on-screen with it and the 2014 variant used interchangeably. </p><p>On 4 December 2017, after 12 years of being known as ABC2, the channel underwent a major
