BBC Two Christmas Ident

The final non-corporate Christmas ident dispenses with the usual “TWO” logotype in favour of this more colourful version. Anyone know what this is meant to be? I’d say it looks more like a Bonfire Night symbol than a Christmas one! Once again, trail endboards were designed to link into the ident, as seen on the right. A universal Subtitles symbol was used on both channels this year.
