Visuals: On a mostly black background with occasional hints of pale blue and red, a turquoise antenna forms. Four lightning bolts appear and disappear around the antenna in different forms. Then, a circle outline brings in four more lightning bolts, coloured turquoise, and rings appear from the centre of the antenna. "BBC NEWS" fades in below the antenna as the background fades to black. As one more hint of pale red occurs on the background, the sequence fades to the start of the news bulletin.
Technique: 2D computer animation by Lambie-Nairn.
Audio: TBA
Legacy: The design of the symbol was criticised for resembling a swastika, resulting in future intros no longer being outsourced.[1]

Visuals: On what appears to be mostly a live-action scene tinted blue is a spinning globe situated on a neon table.

The sequence then fades to the start of the news bulletin.
Variant: Starting in 1997, the intro was updated to use the 1997 BBC logo in white, and "NEWS" is in Gill Sans.
Technique: Possibly live-action.
