BBC Television Service

1st Logo (2 November 1936-1 September 1939, 7 June 1946-2 December 1953)
Logo: On a black background, we see "B.B.C.". Below it is "TELEVISION SERVICE". Under that is the name of the system being used, either the Baird or the Marconi-E.M.I.

Trivia: In 1987, BBC made a classics movie and one clip has this logo, but instead of the Baird or the Marconi-EMI system, the Dolby system is credited.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None, but may contain music and/or a continuity announcer.

Availability: Extinct on TV; these usually appeared at the start of BBC's broadcasts around this time.

2nd Logo (7 June 1946-7 October 1960)
Logo: On a black background, we see a "compass" with some bat wing-like shapes on the sides with "BBC" on the bottom. A gyroscope inside the centre of the compass spins around.

Variant: A version exists where the the compass is moving in the same direction.

Technique: Possibly live action or cel animation. Camera controlled animation for the variant.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last logo.

Availability: Extinct on TV, but the variant is found on the 1959 General Election on BBC iPlayer.
