Has the BBC ever done Easter idents before?


They used to have Easter specific programme trailers/enboards in the rhythm & movement era.


Did they?

Yes they did it was used during the end of the balloon period and start of the rhythm & movement period.

And if you go to this page on The TV Room website and scroll down, you can see pictures of the trailer after the rebrand

I assume that was an Ashes to Ashes special ident.

It's worth mentioning that Ashes to Ashes has a special BBC One ident, that just got shown now. If only my laptop didn't break so I could cap it!

I wondered what was going on with that red strobing effect after Doctor Who so I thought leave the recorder going just in case. Nice surprise and the second programme themed ident after the Wallace & Gromit Christmas ident. Perhaps third if you include the red nosed hippos.

Edit: Great minds thinking alike, as Andrew has already posted. I'll keep it undeleted as it's of course remarkably different -- what with having an extra word on it and all.

I'm surprised they haven't done a Doctor Who TARDIS through a vortex type ident. But I think it'll come.

Saw the 'bird's nest' Easter pointer today, nice to see the hatching egg version here. Been a while since Easter has been acknowledged in pres in this way.

Re: the the Ashes to Ashes ident, a pity they didn't go for a Futura globe symbol similar to what they did with Life On Mars S2, but I guess any special symbol was going to be in line with the trailer design as it was before, otherwise it'd probably be a bit disjointed.
