'''Logo:'''
*'''Opening:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}} streak comes in from the right of the screen and a {{color|#00AF00|green}} streak comes in from the left of the screen. The two streaks then intersect to form a {{color|red}} line in the middle of the screen and they leave behind {{color|#00AF00|green}} and {{color|blue}} lines afterwards. The BBC boxes fade in above, first rather dimly before fully brightening up, formingas they form a CGI version of the 1988 BBC logo used at the time. The letters also appear to have shadows underneath them and the lines have glows on the bottom of the blocks.
*'''Closing:''' Same as the opening, except with the BBC Enterprises copyright disclaimer appearing on the bottom. Starting in 1995, "BBC ENTERPRISES" is replaced with "BBC WORLDWIDE".
*At the end of the ''BBC TV Cooks'' video series, the copyright stamp below the BBC Worldwide disclaimer reads "© BBC Worldwide (year in Roman numerals)".
*On ''The Best of The Mrs. Merton Show: Series One and Two'', and ''Neverwhere'' the closing logo hasremoves the "BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION" caption removed.
* At the end of ''The Wrong Trousers'' on the 1997 USA laserdisc of all three ''Wallace & Gromit'' short films, the closing variant is still.
'''Technique:''' Simple CGI.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A sombre 9-note piano piece, followed by the sound of a choir holding the final note, sometimes extended. This was composed on a Korg M1 synthesiser.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
*Sometimes, the theme is extended.
*A low tone version of the music exists. On this version, the music comes in when the {{color|#00AF00|green}} and {{color|blue}} streaks merge.
*On the "Five Doctors" variant, a spinning whirl sound is heard when the Time Scoop steals the BBC logo.
*In the logo's final month, it was used in tandem with the 5th one.
*It was also used in tandem with the next one on North American tapes, with North American tapes using this at the end of tapes that have the next one at the start.
'''Legacy:''' This logo is rather infamous among the logo community for its nature, its piano piece and its limited animation. The ''Doctor Who'' variant is also infamous for its appearance of the Time Scoop and sounds.
===4th Logo (September 1992-1998?)===
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' At the start of the U.S. VHS release version of ''Diana: A Celebration'', it is completely silent.
'''Availability:''' RareVery rare.
*It appears on some CBS/Fox and Fox Video North American home video releases of BBC programmes, such as ''Absolutely Fabulous''.
*This logo was used in tandem with the previous one.
'''Variants:'''
* Sometimes, the logo can be in <u>widescreen</u>; also, the ribbons move differently. This is mostly seen on DVDs of shows with the widescreen format.
* An extremelyultra rare <u>Italian variant</u> (presumably a prototype) exists, where the ribbon is thicker and only moves a little bit before looping. The background is also black and the BBC logo is slightly different, with shorter squares and black text.
* On ''The Best of BBC Comedy'', the text "BBC Worldwide & The Sunday People Present The BBC Comedy Collection" appears on the background in Gill Sans. BBC Worldwide and The Sunday People have their logos represented instead, and they, along with "BBC Comedy Collection" are much larger.
** At the end of the tape, we see a line-up of BBC Comedy videos of the time being shown on the animated ribbons background. After a while, the line-up fades over to the closing version of the BBC Video ident.
* On a promo for ''Walking with Dinosaurs'', found on the US VHS release of ''Lake Placid'', a <u>rare variant</u> appears with "VIDEO" written below the logo.
'''Technique:''' Computer animation, quite modern for the time.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A calm synth-string/harp theme with a hi-hat clash that's actually a slightly more upbeat arrangement of the 1991 theme.
* The 2020 ''Doctor Who: The Collection - Season 26'' (UK/Australia)/''Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy Complete Season Three'' (US) Blu-ray box set also retains this logo on the alternate 1998 VHS cut of the ''Doctor Who'' serial "Battlefield".
* Surprisingly, the closing version of the logo (with the 2006 (MMVI) copyright date) also appears on ''BBC Children's Favourites'' DVD, released in 2005.
* The "prototype" logo is ultra rare; it was seen on DeAgostini releases of ''Teletubbies'' in Italy.
* The altered ribbon variants were found in the game files of the PC version of ''Play With the Teletubbies!''.
* It also makes an appearance on the 2013 DVD release of the ''Doctor Who'' episode "The Ice Warriors" as part of the "VHS Links" bonus feature, due to it being taken from the 1998 VHS master.
