Television history was made in the late 1970's when BBC2's new identity was unveiled. The twin-striped "2" was the first electronically generated symbol, it scrolled on and off the screen. Until around 1983, the animation was accompanied by an electronic fanfare which you can listen to on the right clip. The BBC2 logo was designed by Oliver Elmes.
