BBC News (second era)
1st Intro (1976-1981)
-
1976 variant
-
1979 variant
Visuals: On an orange background are two dark orange circles and a brown map of the world. The circles merge into one, then the stacked text "BBC NEWS" appears. This ends with a circle transition to the beginning of the news bulletin.
Variant: Starting in 1979, it just shows the first frame of the intro tinted in blue. "BBC NEWS", in a sans-serif font this time, zooms in. The text then disappears before transitioning as normal.
Technique: The 1976 variant uses cel animation, whereas the 1979 variant uses chyron.
Audio: TBA

-
1981 variant
-
1985 variant
Visuals: On a black background with a red stripe in the centre of the screen, white lines come in from either the left or right side to form a segmented circle. A flashing white rectangle appears below the stripe, and then "types" in "BBC NEWS". The rest is TBA.
Variant: Starting in 1985, the red stripe was changed to blue.
Technique: 2D computer animation overlaid onto live-action footage.
Audio: TBA
3rd Intro (1988-1993)
