Logo: ???

FX: Depends on the logo.

Variants: There are several different variants:
  • Water: An aqua-coloured '2' is on a background of the same colour, half submerged in a pool of water at a 45 degree angle. Using a similar method to Paint, the '2' and camera are both at 45 degrees, giving the impression of the water flowing diagonally when the shot of the '2' is upright. Wind instruments and reverberated ethnic percussion featured in the audio, enhancing the atmosphere. One of the four original idents to be shown throughout the run of the whole series.
  • Copper Cut Out: A copper cut-out of a '2' off of which sparks flew, as the figure glowed at its edges. This was punctuated with a loud, distinctive metallic clang sound in the audio, which overlaid a gentle, major chord pad.
  • Paint: A white polystyrene '2' is on a black & white background, splashed by a blob of viridian paint which hurtles in horizontally from the right side of the screen. This illusion was created by moving the '2' and the camera onto its side by 90 degrees anti-clockwise, to make it appear as though the paint was falling sideways. In this ident's soundtrack, the paint is heralded by a steady cymbal crash as it comes into view, reaching a peak upon contact with the '2', followed a two-note resonant sound, symbolic of the dripping paint.Blade:a sharp, metal '2' falling into a viridian-coloured block and impaling it on its edge, standing and wobbling. Audio is a short, sharp cymbal crash with slow attack, slowly changing tone and fading out as the '2' has pierced the block.
  • Neon: A '2' is on a black background with seven viridian neon lights attached to it, flashing in random sequences. The soundtrack matched the timing of the lights as they flashed on and off.
  • Glass: a glass-cut '2', which reflected light - with some noticeable viridian colour - in various directions. Soundtrack consists of a resonant bell-like chime, between lighter bells paired with breathy sounds, giving an eerie feel.
  • Silk: A swathe of viridan slik literally drifts over the top of a '2' shape, as if they were ocean waves. Haunting wails and loud bell tolls to form a dramatic soundtrack, conjuring up imagery of the '2' as a sinking ship. The jingle used in Sign is also heard in the audio.
  • Shadow: The cast shadow of a slowly rotating '2' on a viridian wall gets bigger. Then, it gets smaller. Loop animation plays after. The soundtrack shares some note similarities with Glass, albeit is not as minimal, with hints of percussion and greater variety and prominence in the chords.
  • Paper Cut Out: On a completely grey, paper-like foreground,a '2' is primarily a 2-shaped cut-out in the middle. The background behind it features a colourful blue sky, with white clouds. The audio track is very minimal, with faint drums and a high-pitched, tweeting melody, heavy on repetition.
  • B/W Copper Cut Out: Essentially the same as Copper Cut Out, but it was recoloured black-and-white with viridian sparks. It also had the same audio as Copper Cut Out.
  • Balloon: A silver, helium-filled balloon in the shape of a '2' bobs around gently in a fixed spot.
  • Firecracker: The firecrackers explode in sequence, causing the base "2" to be thrown about in different directions. A hidden cable stops the "2" from being blown away completely, and there is one firecracker remaining that does not explode.
  • Learning Zone: Various educational items (such as the equation E=mc2) float by either as eral objects or shadows.
  • Garden: The flower bed starts of bare, but with the aid of time-lapse photography, the flowers grow and bloom to reveal the "2".
  • Crystal Ball: A crystal ball rolls over the "2", severely distorting the image as it passes.
  • Made in Japan: The animation starts with the Japanese for "2". A smoke effect billows out, and the Japanese "2" dissolves through to the usual "2" you see in the final image on the left. Audio was the same as "Paint".
  • Pop Art: ???
  • Teapot: The "2" teapot is initially covered with a tea-cosy which is removed to reveal the image you see on the left. Note the Hilda Ogden style ducks on the wall!
  • Old Art: The "2" is part of the eye in a self-portrait of Rembrandt. It starts as a pencil sketch, and as the camera pulls back, we see the artist's hand adding detail to the painting in a series of mixes, until the finished portrait is revealed.
  • One World: The globe is a flat disk which starts the sequence side-on, rotating 90 degrees along its vertical axis, until it faces camera. As this happens, coloured powder "blows" on to the disk, finally forming the image on the left. The sequence is obviously the reverse of how it was shot - the powder was blown off the disk as it rotated away from the camera.
  • Wet And Windy: The "2" is effectively the moon, reflected in the window, which bangs open and shut in the wind and rain.
  • Billboard: In time-lapse, a man on a ladder pastes the advertising billboard with sheets of paper, finally revealing the complete picture - a large "2".
  • War And Peace: A "2" made of barbed-wire forms around a single poppy.
  • Halloween 1: ???
  • Halloween 2: ???
  • Halloween 3: ???
  • Stage: ???
  • Birth Night: ???
  • Prison: ???
  • 1960s: ???
  • Door: ???
