I do suppose this ident suits the situation seeing as the balloon is on the ground and it is like laying the balloon to rest but it is right that they should have given the balloon a better send off.
The circle ident's have been on for about 4 or 5 years now which mean they should be rebranding new idents soon. but BBC 1 in England didn't make an effort to say goodbye to the balloon BBC1 Wales and BBC1 Northern Ireland made more of an effort.
@Doomsday2060 I also still remember these idents very well: the fact I still get shivers down my spine every time I hear that small piano fiddle shows how well they thought of these.

That was my favourite balloon, by the cranes outside Battersea Power station.
I used to watch it on the bbc and then go past it on the way into victoria in the afternoon :) happy days
although the cranes are still there :)

U can see the BBC steering backtowards the old style of ther idents of old
The new idents have some sort of circle - This could be the shape of a globe or our much faved balloon
