I noticed how the description for the 2nd logo isn't quite accurate, so I figured I'd drop in my own description. Feel free to add this to the main article.
Nickname: Bat Wings Logo: On a black background, a a model of the then-current BBC logo (Which looks like a compass with wings), with "BBC" written underneath it. FX: The center rings of the logo spinning like a gyroscope, the tips of the wings lighting up, and light running through the wings. Music: See the first logo's description Avaliability: Extinct. Can be seen multiple times in the background in the 2006 Doctor Who episode, The Idiot's Lantern.

I was just watching the second part of the Doctor Who serial, Remembrance of the Daleks (A serial from the 1988-1989 season), when I noticed one of the TVs in one scene had the 3rd logo on it. You don't get a full-screen view of the logo, but it's easy enough to see if you're interested.
