The 2 image was given away on the BBC website at the time. I traced it and created a vector image which I then used in 3DS Max and Swift 3D to create the rotating cube.
I have an original recording from that but recorded on a Sony CV2000B tape shot with a 405 line camera from the 625 line screen. It has bad picture quality but the sound is good. I will post it on my channel. Maybe you can add the sound and recreate the picture.
Hey Frank, see my response to your video :) I've extended the sequence to include the clock that I think should have followed the spinning ident. BBC2 seemed to often show an ident and then go into the first programme with the clock at startup.
Now if you include some 'swingin' 60s music to this, then I would consider this to be 'groovy!'

1946 is when our channel 4 started.

This would not have happened. Multiple TV stations were not thought of in 1946. In fact, TV had only just returned then.

Let's imagine if Channel 4 launched in... 1968 instead of 1982.

>>Brilliant. Definitely one for a BBC 2 theme night...devoted to itself. The 07 in 70 clock would be clashing to say the least. Veridian and orange!

it just looks like the lovely sans serif 1990s figure on the 70s rotation cool...

or the "2" figure on the cylindric style from 1974.

That is really cool, I like the bit of retro in there. How did you make it?

This is BBC2, in colour. And now a repeat showing of "Life On Mars". :) Good work you!
