CBeebies

Dance (2002-2017?)
ID: On a blue CBeebies background, 2 yellow bugs dance around with each other and eventually hit each other. Then the background turns pink and then the logo appears above with the BBC blocks fading in as the 2 bugs continue to dance.

FX/SFX: CGI animation from Lambie-Nairn.

Music/Sounds: Cheerful sounding music with a voice saying "CBeebies, CBeebies!" in the middle.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Like the rest of CBeebies' idents, this is cute and very kid-friendly.

Shapes (2002-2017?)
ID: On an orange CBeebies background, we see the CBeebies logo (with the letters more spaced out). Then the BBC logo fades out and the CBeebies wordmark turns into 3 bugs, which become a circle, a square and a triangle. Then one of the shapes zooms in and we head into a continuity link or a plain coloured background.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Different sounding music, once again sounding cheerful, with the bugs making noise.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as "Dance".

Balance (2002-2017?)
ID: Various bugs balance on top of each other on a blue CBeebies background. The one on the very top balances the CBeebies logo by rocking it around.

Variant: A shortened version exists, which only features the part with the bug balancing the logo.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Chime sounds and the bugs making noises.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as "Dance".

Multiply (2002-2017?)
ID: On a green CBeebies background, various bugs form very closely together, until they cover the background. Then they come out and the CBeebies logo is seen with the BBC logo fading in. Bugs appear randomly on the screen.

FX/SFX: Same as "Dance".

Music/Sounds: Gentle sounding music, akin to other CBeebies idents and the bugs making noises.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as above.

Snowman (2002-2005)
ID: On a snowy light blue CBeebies background, 3 bugs form a snowman (the top with the eyes, and the others forming buttons for the snowman). Then they get hit by snowballs and dissolve by zooming in and out to become the CBeebies logo, as snow falls on top of it.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Same music as "Dance", but with bug noises.

Availability: Extinct. It was used as a Christmas ident from 2002 to 2005.

Editor's Note: Same as above.

Christmas Tree (2002-2005)
ID: On a starry red CBeebies background, 3 bugs bounce around, with one of them turning into a cel-shaded Christmas tree. Then they zoom out and in to become the CBeebies logo like with the previous ident.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Chime sounds and the bugs making noises.

Availability: Same as above.

Editor's Note: Same as above.

Bedtime Hour (2004-2019)
ID: On a purple/dark blue nighttime background with stars, we see a moon on the bottom right with three bugs sleeping on it. The CBeebies logo is seen on top. Then, a shooting star appears from the right to the middle as the words "Bedtime Hour" (in the usual CBeebies font) fade in.

Variants:
 * An extended version exists. This version begins with a close-up of only one bug on the moon, and then two more jumps onto it t and fall asleep. One comes close to the camera and back as the moon moves to the bottom right and the rest of the ident plays like above.
 * On the DVD CBeebies: Bedtime, when the bug comes close to the camera and out, it comes out of the DVD menu instead.
 * A shorter version exists.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Calm-sounding music and the bugs snoring.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The extended version uses the same music and then a synth sounder when the Bedtime Hour text appears. You can also hear the bugs making noise.
 * On CBeebies Bedtime Stories until a proper ident was made for this strand, a different tune plays.

Availability: Same as above. It was also used as the intro to the DVD CBeebies: Bedtime.

Editor's Note: Same as above.

Animals (2006-2017?)
ID: On a light blue CBeebies background, various bugs form animals like a pig, an elephant, a cow and a chicken. Some of the bugs then turn into the CBeebies logo which appears on the top, while 3 remain on the bottom.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: Bug sounds and animal sounds.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

Paint (2006-2017?)
ID: On a light blue CBeebies background, paint appears all over the background and eventually hitting some bugs which appear in this ident. The paint then slides away to reveal the CBeebies logo, while the bugs are still covered in paint.

Variant: When the ident originally debuted, purple text saying "Happy Holi" appeared before the ident started.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: CBeebies-esque music, bug sounds... the usual.

Availability: Extinct. It originally debuted as an ident for Holi, but later became part of the main roster of idents.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

Flower (2006-2017?)
ID: On a green CBeebies background, we see an orange flower. Then a bug pops out of it, which then reveals to be a whole screen of flowers with bugs popping out of them. The CBeebies logo appears above.

FX/SFX: Same as above.

Music/Sounds: CBeebies-esque music, bug sounds... the usual.

Availability: Extinct. It used to be shown whenever you watched a CBeebies program on BBC iPlayer until 2014.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

Balloon Bobbing (2010-2015?)
ID: On a green dotted background, we see some CBeebies personalities hitting a balloon shaped like the CBeebies logo. Eventually, they throw it close which causes the camera to tilt in a dutch-angle effect. The balloon puts itself in the right way up as the BBC logo in white appears below and the personalities laugh.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action, while the balloon is CGI.

Music/Sounds: Drum sounds for the bobbing, the personalities laughing and saying "Ahh" or "Aww", then it ends with the "CBeebies! CBeebies!" soundbyte.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

Balloon Inflating (2010-2015?)
ID: On a purple dotted background, we see Nina (Katrina Bryan) from Nina and the Neurons and then-CBeebies presenter Sidney Slone next to the same CBeebies logo shaped-balloon as seen in the previous ident. Sid is blowing it up with a pumper. Then, Mr. Tumble (Justin Fletcher) from Something Special appears and Sid allows him to continue on pumping the balloon. He does a hard bump, which fully inflates the balloon and knocks Nina away. She reappears by running backwards embracing the balloon as the BBC logo in white fades below.

FX/SFX: Once again, live-action and CGI.

Music/Sounds: Tooting sounds for the balloon inflating, alongside some miming sounds from the personalities featured. Once the balloon blows, the "CBeebies! CBeebies!" sound-byte is heard.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

Balloon Growing (2010-2015?)
ID: On a light blue dotted background, we see Mister Maker (Phil Gallagher) from his titular show and CBeebies presenter Katy Ashworth (in her costume from I Can Cook) growing the same CBeebies logo shaped balloon as before like it is a flower. Mister Maker starts first, which grows the right half of the balloon, and then Katy grows the other half. Fellow CBeebies presenter Andy Day then appears, and the three of them all use their watering cans at the same time to make the balloon massive. The BBC logo in white then fades below.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Sound effects for the balloon, and some laughter and "Woahs" from the personalities. It once again wnds with the "CBeebies! CBeebies!" soundbyte.

Availability: Extinct.
