The logo from 1990 to 1997 happens to be pretty nostalgic for me because it was on a VHS tape I had for Wallace and gromit in the wrong trousers. I may not be from UK but I absolutely love that show and did even when I was a baby
that logo 1997-2009 is very nostalgic and calming music, it remember me when I was kid, watching teletubbies with my parent and playing with the kids, I wanna pay millions if they made the full song of that song
3:14 I knew this series of logos from my Doctor Who: Death to the Daleks videotape. The outro versions of it are so sad with the music turning to a funeral like tone and the star dying, like the video we just watched & the world within died along with it, That idea haunted me as a toddler.
1990-1997, all the way Nothing sets you up for a Doctor Who adventure better than that ominous piano (I'll admit it's a little more incongruous before Noddy).
The 1997-2009 logo is the complete contrast to this, the music used in this logo is very calming and makes me think of a person's soul, having left their body after death, ascending into the afterlife, to be united with their family and friends after a lifetime of pain and suffering, they are finally at peace. I sometimes listen to this one to calm me down during periods of stress.
When I was younger, I had a video called "Walking with Dinosaurs", it was my favourite video, and before the programme had begun, this piece used to play all the time.
I respect your opinion, ItzAdamIsNoob. The BBC Video logo had scared many people, especially in their 90's childhoods when they're watching Wallace & Gromit tapes, due to the very depressing tune, the animation and the fact that the entire logo is on a black background. And on the Wallace & Gromit tapes, the scare factor just got even worse when this logo got followed by the Aardman Animations "Clayface" logo. One of the scariest British logos of all time, but is not as bad as the Bravo UK 1997 idents (leave them if you are under the age of 16).
I was born in 1997 so that one is the one that brings me back all the memories of w when I first heard and saw this intro to the BBC. That intro will never get old 😊😊😊😊
The 1990 - 1997 was so scary and frightening as a child. Looking at the comments, I'm not the only one. I wonder if the creators have (or had) any idea how many kids they scared?
I too remember vividly the 1997-2009 logo, it was in the intro of the DVD reissue of "Muzzy in Gondoland" (hoping I'm not the only one who remembers about it)
This visual audio alone is so beautifully haunting and poignant, the memories of yesteryear come flooding back. Wow !!! Wonderful wonderful wonderful May twenty twenty two 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🙏

@@F4FireAndSecurity • Noted. However, CaL is an abbreviation for "Charlie and Lola". I may not be British, but I still enjoyed that show as a child...?
I love the 1997 logo because I have many Doctor Who DVD. Doctor Who Series 1 Doctor Who Series 2 Doctor Who Series 3 Doctor Who Series 4 Doctor Who Specials (2008-2010)
Back in 2021. I got a Something Special DVD. I got the BBC Video Logo opening from 2009. That was part of My Childhood when I watched it. When I was 5. Truly Sad Story 😢
But it’s not on the two American DVDs from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (Even though Fox used to distribute BBC’s programs in the US but not any of their children’s series).
The 1997 to 2009 is so nostalgic, I remember it coming on at the end of a cbeebies videotape after pingu had finished 😂 god those video tapes and sleeves with them were awesome
Maaaaaate, that scared me so much that I had to keep the VHS in the shed. One glance at the front cover and it was nightmares all over again! I only finished therapy last week.
It went from a Moog-synth song with a marching band drum, to a big-band version of the previous theme (which was used in tandem with the previous song) with kettle drums on a different key, to an entirery orchestrated version of the previous theme led by violins (again, in a different key) and finally, a laid-back Rock version of the same theme (in a different key once again).
5:46 I thought that the moving thing swooping up the logo was weird and kinda stupid even for the time but then when a couple seconds later it showed “The Five Doctors” my brain just went OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH My life is complete
The music used for the 1990-1997 logo always reminds me of death, it is very gothic and is the sort of music you would hear at a funeral, as a large projection of the person's life plays overhead. Like the music which would play after everyone has gone, hearing this after life has ended. Imagine being trapped in a room, with no door, and no way out, with screens playing this tune over and over for eternity.
That 1990 - 1997 logo freaked me out! Before I was transported to the wizzard relm I watched a lot of Wallace and Gromit. I would hide behind the couch after every tape.
When I was at my grandparents house, I looked in their storage room and came across an educational VHS tape called "Reptiles" and it had the old BBC Print logo on it. Would there be any chance the 1st or 2nd logo would be on it?
