	BBC balloon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BBC One balloon ident over the Snowdonia national park.
		2002, and after much speculation, the BBC One balloon was replaced as the icon of the BBC's main television channel with a set of idents with the theme of 'Rhythm and Movement'.
		The BBC balloon last took to the skies in the summer of 2003 when it took part in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

	BBC One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BBC One (or BBC1 as it was formerly styled) is the oldest television station in the world.
		It is the primary channel of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and first broadcast as the 'BBC Television Service' on November 2, 1936, although the BBC had been broadcasting experimental and test transmissions in a variety of formats since 1929.
		BBC One is more mainstream than its sister station BBC Two and generally gets higher ratings, competing with ITV1 as the most-viewed channel in the UK.

	TV & Radio Bits - BBC Television Idents
		BBC TV chose, back in 1963, to emphasise its position as one of the world's prestigious broadcasting organisations with a globe.
		The balloon itself made its final flight at the Bristol International Balloon Festival in August 2002, and is now in the care of the Balloon Preservation Group in Sussex.
		The BBC logo, adopted in 1986, is being changed because the corporation says the 17.5 degree slant on the letters makes it look odd on a computer screen and hampers its move into multimedia.

	Back down to Earth
		This first incarnation had the BBC rhombus logo (which had been phased in from 1958 but was not widely used until October 1960) in the bottom-right hand corner in a similar style to the BBC Schools Pie Chart which had been introduced three years earlier.
		At various times, the "BBC" lettering used with the globe and in captions was often in a different font from the main BBC logo - and in today's age of televisual corporate uniformity this is quite hard to imagine.
		Those balloons may have performed their job admirably back in 1997 but if BBC One is to be fundamentally repositioned along with the other channels, the balloons as they stand would tend to suggest 'old general purpose BBC-1' and not the shiny 'new entertainment-driven BBC-1' image that the BBC now wants to portray.

	TV Whirl - BBC1
		The BBC's famous mirror globe ident was in use for several years, with variations to the writing underneath.
		BBC Select was a largely encrypted service which ran overnight on BBC1, catering to specialist audiences (such as nurses and lawyers).
		Instead of the plain computer generated globes, the BBC 1 balloon was introduced, and the letters B B C were made into squares, rather than the slanted ones that had preceded it, and had been in use for years before.

		The key strategic objective for the BBC was to prepare and position itself for the digital age.
		At the heart of the identity is the re-design of the BBC logo, a new typeface (Gill Sans) and a new system of branding whereby personality is not conveyed through logos but by the creation of visual properties (e.g.
		BBC One’s ‘balloon’, the BBC Two ‘Performing 2’s etc.) The new logo fulfils the objective of providing a classic and timeless piece of world-class design that will not date and is aesthetically pleasing.

		"The balloon is so large that it is going to take at least two weeks to assess the whole thing - and the whole balloon will have to be rechecked - so we're probably going to miss this year's weather window," said Brian Jones, the mission control chief.
		Technicians said it was possible a twist in the balloon as it came off its storage drum led to a pressure build-up at the top of the envelope splitting open a seam.
		The balloon was meant to begin its ascent pencil-shaped and then become more rounded as it rose towards its target height - which it was due to reach within five hours of the launch.

		Panorama was and still is the BBC's flagship current affairs programme, which tackles a single topical social and/or political issue in depth.
		In the 1960's the BBC was given the go-ahead to develop regional services to provide localised news, information and programmes, though each regional centre's contribution to overall programming, in contrast to ITV, was minimal (except for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland where important cultural differences often meant more local programming).
		The word 'Stereo' appeared in the top-left hand corner when a programme with a stereo soundtrack followed (BBC1 was the last established UK channel to introduce Nicam stereo, which it did in September 1991, but not all transmitters had been upgraded to carry the digital signal from day one).
