In early 2003, viewers could watch episodes of popular BBC soap opera <i><a href="/wiki/EastEnders" title="EastEnders">EastEnders</a></i> on BBC Three before they were broadcast on BBC One. This programming decision coincided with the relaunch of the channel and helped it break the one million viewers milestone for the first time. An episode of <i>EastEnders Revealed</i>, which was commissioned for BBC Three and looking behind the scenes of the programme, attracted 611,000 viewers. In 2005, BBC Three commissioned the documentary series <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_Confidential" title="Doctor Who Confidential">Doctor Who Confidential</a></i>, which was shown immediately after episodes of the new series of <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a></i> had been screened on BBC One.

Stefan Marjoram at <a href="/wiki/Aardman_Animations" title="Aardman Animations">Aardman Animations</a> and were used from launch until February 2008. Stuart Murphy was touring Aardman Animations looking for new programming ideas for BBC Three when he spotted the cone shaped creatures, he then took the idea back to the <a href="/wiki/Superunion" title="Superunion">Lambie-Nairn</a> agency, responsible for the BBC Three identity package.<sup id="cite_ref-80" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>78<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A feature of this identity is also the music "Three Is The Magic Number", based (only the lyrics are copied) upon <i><a href="/wiki/Schoolhouse_Rock!" title="Schoolhouse Rock!">Schoolhouse Rock!</a></i>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/BBC_Online" title="BBC Online">BBC Online</a> provided a number of downloads and activities based on the channel's identity, these included "BlobMate", screensavers, wallpapers and also games such as <i>BlobLander</i> and <i>BlobBert</i>. The idea used by both Lambie-Nairn, who had developed the branding for <a href="/wiki/CBeebies" title="CBeebies">CBeebies</a> and <a href="/wiki/CBBC" title="CBBC">CBBC</a>, and Aardman, was to create the BBC Three blobs as a relation to the green and yellow blobs of the children's channels. Kieron Elliott, Dean Lydiate, Duncan Newmarch, Lola Buckley, Gavin Inskip and Jen Long provided out-of-vision continuity. </p><p>On 22 January 2008 a new channel identity was unveiled, which went to air on 12 February. Rebranding was carried out by <a href="/wiki/Red_Bee_Media" title="Red Bee Media">Red Bee Media</a>, along with agencies MPG and Agency Republic with music and sound design by creative audio company Koink.<sup id="cite_ref-81" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In October 2013, BBC Three introduced a new series of idents with a theme of "discovery".

In October 2021, this wordmark was replaced with one in the BBC's corporate font "Reith Sans" as part of a larger rebranding of the BBC's television channels. The tricon remained in use as a secondary logo, such as in an ident used to present BBC Three programmes on BBC One after the rebrand. </p><p>The rebrand in 2021 proved to be short-lived, as with the service's linear relaunch in February 2022, BBC Three adopted a new identity developed by <a href="/wiki/Superunion" title="Superunion">Superunion</a> and BBC Creative, with idents featuring three animated, pink and purple-coloured hands named "Captain", "Spider", and "Pointer" interacting in a lime green backdrop.
