BBC America
Compiled by James Fabiano, Sean Beard, and Kris Starring
1st Logo
(1994-1997)
Nickname: "Turning Boxes"
Logo: Identical to the 1992 BBC Video logo except the words "WORLDWIDE AMERICAS" (in black) appear under the BBC box logo.
FX: Same as the 1992 BBC Video logo.
Music/Sounds: None, it's a silent logo.
Availability: Appears at the end of Red Dwarf and I imagine other British programs that appear on PBS stations.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(1997-2006)
Nickname: "BBC America Presents"
Logo: Begins with a closeup of an orange globe. Then in a very quick flash, a box appears against a blue background. It contains a picture of the same globe over a river and to the right of a riverside building. Under the picture are the words "BBC (in the Box
logo) AMERICA presents," and the "BBC AMERICA" part expands as the logo fades out.
FX: The "flash", the hot air balloon used.
Cheesy Factor: The globe looks like an inflatable toy, though that is understandable as it represents BBC's hot-air balloon trademark.
Music/Sounds: A light piano tune that ends in an echoey note with the "flash".
Availability: Seen as the opening bumper for many British television programs on public television.
Scare Factor: Low.
