BBC America
Compiled by James Fabiano, Sean Beard, and Kris Starring
BBC Worldwide Americas
(1994-1997)
Nickname: "Turning Boxes"
Logo: Against a white marble background, three black boxes swing in from the right. As they turn sideways, the letters "BBC" enter each one. Once the logo is formed, three colored streaks (one blue, one red, and one green) pass under it and leave similarly colored lines under the boxes. Finally, the words "WORLDWIDE AMERICA" (in black) appear under the completed logo. Everything seems to be italicized, even the boxes.
FX: The flying letter boxes. Very modern animation.
Music: 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.

BBC America
(1997-2002)
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: A light piano tune that ends in an echoey note with the "flash."
Availability: Is the opening bumper for many British television programs on public television.
Scare Factor: Low
