Until the introduction of a logo in 1958, the corporation had relied on its <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_BBC" title="Coat of arms of the BBC">coat of arms</a> for official documentation and correspondence, although it rarely appeared onscreen. With the increased role of television for the <a href="/wiki/BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a> in the 1960s, particularly after the foundation of <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="ITV (TV channel)">the ITV network</a>, the corporation used its logo to increase viewer familiarity and to standardise its image and content. The logo has since been redesigned a number of times, most recently in 2021 with the <b>BBC blocks</b>, a logo designed to work across media. From 1958, there have been six different BBC logos. The first logo of the network was used from 1958 to 1963, the second from 1963 to 1971, the third from 1971 to 1992, the fourth from 1988 to 1997, the fifth from 1997 to 2021,<sup id="cite_ref-tvark_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tvark-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while the sixth and current logo was adopted in October 2021.<sup id="cite_ref-rebrand_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rebrand-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Before_the_logo">Before the logo</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Before the logo"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Before the BBC introduced its logo itself, in the form of the slanted boxes, the BBC used a variety of different symbols with which to represent itself. In printed media and corporation correspondence, it used the <a href="/wiki/BBC_coat_of_arms" class="mw-redirect" title="BBC coat of arms">BBC coat of arms</a>, while on screen, it used a different logo type. Originally, it used a stylised BBC text on early equipment, not unlike the caption that accompanied the BBC1 <a href="/wiki/Computer_Originated_World" title="Computer Originated World">COW</a> globe. This logo was rarely seen on screen, with captions containing the words "BBC Television Service" along with matching clock. In 1932, when the original reception room of the BBC Broadcasting House in London opened, a logo was laid in mosaic on the floor. This logo was merely a stylised entwining of two capital B's, one facing either direction, linked by a C in the centre. This mosaic logo is still visible on the floor today, though the area no longer serves as the BBC's main reception room. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1950s">1950s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1950s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BBC_logo_(50s-60s).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg/220px-BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="59" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg/330px-BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg/440px-BBC_logo_%2850s-60s%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="370" data-file-height="100" /></a><figcaption>The first 'Blocks' logo with italicised lettering, used between 1958 and 1963</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1953, Abram Games was commissioned to design an on-air image.<sup id="cite_ref-bbc_batwings_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bbc_batwings-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Nicknamed the 'bat's wings',<sup id="cite_ref-bbc_batwings_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bbc_batwings-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> it consisted of a rounded brass contraption with a tiny spinning globe in its centre, with large wing-like protrusions flanked by lightning bolts on either side.

This was introduced soon after the introduction of <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)" title="ITV (TV network)">ITV</a> in 1955. This type of logo would go on captions at the end of productions as well as on cameras and other equipment used by the BBC. They became important when popular BBC programmes and clips from the BBC archives were being sold to be aired on other networks and channels. It was in the early 1960s that the 'bat's wings' logo ceased to be used. It was superseded by the BBC TV logo within a circle, behind which would appear a map of Britain split into broadcast regions. This set the style for a succession of circular images. On 30 September 1963, the BBC's globe logo first appeared. This was a striped line broken in the middle by a globe, with BBC1 in block letters below it. When it appeared, the continuity announcer would say "This is BBC Television." while the globe spun. 1964 saw the creation of BBC1 and BBC2 brands, with the distinctive horizontal stripes across the screen. In April 1964, BBC2 was launched. Its logo was similar to that of BBC1, featuring the distinctive horizontal stripe, but with a large 2 in the centre with the BBC blocks beneath. As part of the publicity campaign for the new channel, artist Desmond Marwood created images of a kangaroo, named Hullabaloo with a baby named Custard in its pouch, to represent the new station. In 1969, when BBC 1 began broadcasting in colour, it introduced the 'mirror globe' logo. This logo shows a rotating globe with a rounded mirror behind giving a illusion of a map behind the globe. The model is actually Black and White, but colored blue and yellow on the TV. Below the globes there is a line and the words BBC1 COLOUR. The word 'colour' was included to remind viewers still watching in black and white to purchase a colour TV set.<sup id="cite_ref-tvark_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tvark-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This logo was used concurrently with the 1971 and 1988 logos until 1992. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1970s">1970s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 1970s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BBC_logo_(80s).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg/220px-BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="63" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg/330px-BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg/440px-BBC_logo_%2880s%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="345" data-file-height="99" /></a><figcaption>The rounded off and slanted logo, used between 1971 and 1988</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1971, a new softer logo was made, rounding off the boxes and making the spaces between the boxes larger. This logo was used on BBC merchandise, as well as the BBC1 idents and the BBC2 clock. More now than ever, merchandise was being branded with the logo, as more productions were being sold via the BBC's American identity, Lionheart Television. Also, records and videos were now starting to be produced and a corporate identity was getting more and more essential to ensuring that the audience knew it was authentic and that the quality programmes they were watching could be attributed to the BBC. The mirror globe began using a more ornate font in 1972. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the BBC1 channel logo used several different fonts, but with each change the logo remained blue. At this time, BBC logos were mechanical models filmed by black-and-white cameras. Colour was added afterwards, electronically, rendering it simple to change the colour as needed. In 1967, BBC2 introduced a logo featuring a blue 2 with a dot in the curve of the 2 and the word COLOUR underneath. In 1979, BBC2 debuted the first-ever computer-generated logo, a 2 flanked by a double line on the side. The symbols appeared on a black background, then disappeared. This logo remained in use concurrently with the 1963 and 1988 logos until 1991.<sup id="cite_ref-tvark_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tvark-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1980s">1980s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 1980s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BBC_logo_(pre97).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg/220px-BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="67" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg/330px-BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg/440px-BBC_logo_%28pre97%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="770" data-file-height="235" /></a><figcaption>The underlined and final slanted logo, used between 1988 and 1997</figcaption></figure> <p>In May 1988, the BBC produced yet another new logo. Since the last one was made, a consumer brand was becoming part of nearly every TV station and corporation at the time (and, at ITV, had been so for many years). The BBC needed a strong and unified identity, and a change of said identity was key. Michael Peters was hired to design this all-inclusive BBC identity for the corporation. They modified the then-current logo by sharpening up the parallelogram edges again and set them to an angle of 17 degrees without reducing the size of the spaces between the boxes. They also sharpened up the text to make it match the clarity of the logo itself. The typeface used was <a href="/wiki/Helvetica" title="Helvetica">Helvetica</a> Neue. Also, under-logo lines were added to the logo for the first time. These lines were coloured blue, red, green to reflect the three phosphors of colour <a href="/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube" title="Cathode-ray tube">cathode-ray tube</a> television. These appeared on the BBC national-region identities from the identities' debut in 1988 and its gradual television debut over the period 1989, 1990 and 1991. </p><p>Previously, in 1986, the electronically generated BBC2 logo was updated. The number 2 was replaced with the word TWO. The letters were white, 3D letters on a white background with red striping on the T as well as green and blue striping on the W. The word TWO appeared and faded on the white background. </p><p>The rebrands of both BBC1 and BBC2 in February 1991 were also based on the then-current BBC corporate identity, when these two channels were given a total corporate look, unlike previous ways of branding the channels. <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_Clwyd" class="mw-redirect" title="BBC Radio Clwyd">BBC Radio Clwyd</a> continued to use this logo until the station was closed in around August 1998 and the logo continued as an in-credit logo. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Variants_of_the_1988_BBC_logo">Variants of the 1988 BBC logo</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Logo_of_the_BBC&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Variants of the 1988 BBC logo"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 185px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 180px;

What he noticed, was that the BBC had a system that meant that every service or department had a different logo scheme. It had a BBC logo and the name with character. Lambie-Nairn decided to address this when he took on the project, as with all these logos, the core brand itself was severely weakened. It was also appropriate to look at the way the BBC was branded, as the BBC was about to take off in digital television and the internet, among other different ventures. After seeing a number of problems with the then-current logo, he decided that a new logo was necessary. The logo was technically unsuitable on-screen. When shrunk, it lost the lines underneath and the counters (the sections in the Bs) and also, when in colour on a colour photo, it again disappeared or parts vanished. Also, on a TV or computer, diagonals are difficult to work with as the logos pixelate, and <a href="/wiki/Spatial_anti-aliasing" title="Spatial anti-aliasing">anti-aliasing</a> is required to make the logo work. The previous logo also followed the idea of the slanted boxes, and related the BBC back to the very first logo in the 1950s and 1960s, which was not what the corporation wanted at that time. Technically, the logo never looked comfortable next to the brand and straight letters. Finally, it was expensive to print as stationery would always have four-colour letterheads, and alongside other BBC brands could mean anything up to ten-colour letterheads and stationery. </p><p>Lambie-Nairn's solution was the BBC logo that was introduced on 4 October 1997. By straightening up the boxes and letters, it removed all the problems associated with diagonals and those associated with disappearing lines. This kept the boxes' shape, so that it would still be familiar with what people know about the BBC. The typeface used is <a href="/wiki/Gill_Sans" title="Gill Sans">Gill Sans</a>, made by <a href="/wiki/Eric_Gill" title="Eric Gill">Eric Gill</a>. It was chosen because it was elegant and robust and has a timeless appeal: the typeface had been created 60 years before and so avoided the typeface looking outdated at a later date. This typeface also eliminated the disappearing counters issue, as the counters of the Bs were much larger. Some of Gill's statues adorn the exterior of <a href="/wiki/Broadcasting_House" title="Broadcasting House">Broadcasting House</a>. The logo was also designed so that anything could be added after the BBC logo, be it department, corporate, brand, TV, radio, etc. Also, by using this system, everything looked as if it came from the same organisation, and it was also easy to add new logos. This system also used only black-and-white letterheads, meaning a big cost saving to the BBC and the licence-fee payer. Beginning in 1997 and becoming more common in the 2000s, this logo was used as a brand watermark within the first few seconds or minutes of many BBC-made programmes, by fading the logo in and out near the bottom of the screen. As of 2023, this practice is rarely used, although a brief animation using the 2022 variant was shown in the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2023" title="Eurovision Song Contest 2023">Eurovision Song Contest 2023</a> grand final. </p><p>The only visible issue with the system was that the logo for the BBC television and radio brands did not reflect their genre or appeal to the tastes of their target audiences. Lambie-Nairn proposed to show this as personality in the idents themselves, and evidence of this can be seen in the idents for <a href="/wiki/BBC_One" title="BBC One">BBC One</a> made just after the logo was introduced. The <a href="/wiki/BBC_One_%22Balloon%22_idents" title="BBC One "Balloon" idents">BBC One balloons</a> were made using the new logo, with the personality device in the balloons.
