• 
  1979 variant

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: Same as the previous intro.

3rd Intro (1981-1989)

• 
  1981 variant
• 
  1985 variant

1981 variant (A)

1981 variant (B)

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". A clock-wipe effect occurs on the circle as the stripe wipes away to reveal a live-action scene.

Variant: Starting in 1985, the red stripe was changed to blue.

Technique: 2D computer animation overlaid onto live-action footage.

Audio: TBA

4th Intro (1988-1993)

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.

5th Intro (1993-1999)

• 
  1993 variant
• 
  1997 variant

1993 variant

Visuals: On what appears to be mostly a live-action scene tinted blue is a spinning globe situated on a neon table. The 1988 BBC logo in full colour is overlaid onto the globe, with the white word "NEWS" in Futura Condensed Italic Oblique next to it. The "BBC NEWS" wordmark fades out, leaving just the globe. 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: CGI.

Audio: TBA

6th Intro (May 10, 1999-2004)

Visuals: On a yellow background is a red oval with the Earth inside of it, spinning. The "BBC NEWS" wordmark from the 1997 variant of the previous intro is below.

Variant: In some cases (such as its debut appearance), the intro is shortened to just the final product.

Technique: CGI by Lambie-Nairn.
