BBC One 'Circle' idents

BBC One 'Circle' idents

The BBC 'Circle' idents are a set of on-screen channel identities that debuted on BBC One at 10am BST on 7 October 2006. They were announced on 26 September 2006 as the replacement for the 'Rhythm & Movement' idents and were designed and produced for the BBC by Red Bee Media. The idents are also used on BBC America, the BBC's outlet in the United States.

A circle symbol was decided upon as the theme for the idents since it was described as a 'symbol of togetherness', but also a 'nod' towards the channel's heritage and in particular, the use of a globe logo for much of its history. All idents involve the basis of the action to be shown, be that footballers kicking a ball or children playing with flowers before the circle is shown to form and the BBC One logo animates onto the screen.

Imran Hanif composed the music for all idents, having been selected from a shortlist of 12 composers and bands.
