• It also makes some surprise appearances on some programmes after 1990, such as the third season of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and some episodes of Playdays, thus causing it to be used in tandem with the next logo.

  • On As Times Goes By, the text is capitalised.

• On the UK version of U2: A Year in Pop, the 1988 BBC logo appears with the Dreamchaser Productions logo.

Technique: Either a still, computerized graphic, or same as the shortened 1991 BBC Video logo.

• The Tiger Aspect variants which appear on The Thin Blue Line are plastered over by the 1998 Tiger Aspect logo on current prints of the show, but it is still retained on older prints (like the PAL format 2001 DVD release thereof).
• The 1988-1992 version of the copyright notice also makes a surprise appearance on Jools's Hootenanny and some of the last episodes of Playdays, all from late 1996 to early 1997, respectively.
• The 1992-1997 version of the copyright notice also makes a surprise appearance on the Italian VHS releases of Teletubbies from DeAgostini, with Ragdoll's 2000-present logo, likely due to the early 1997 Teletubbies variant being modified to remove Ragdoll's 1995-2000 logo, but forgot to replace the 1988 BBC logo with the 1997 one.
• The 1992-1997 version of the copyright notice is also seen at the end of the Stay Tooned special "Down on Animal Farm", included on the 1999 UK VHS release of Animal Farm (1954, 1999 re-release) from PolyGram Video.
• As for the standard logo, it was seen on TV Nation, and The Big One.

Visuals: Same as the 5th logo, but with the 2021 logo, now in BBC Reith Sans Bold.

Variants:

• Starting in 2022, an animated variant exists where the three BBC blocks move into a bar of the multicoloured background and the middle part zooms in before it fades out.
  • An alternate variant of the animated logo also exists, where a family (father, son, mother, in order) looking at the logo on the TV screen at their living room. The colours illuminate the room. This was found in the case study video.
  • This variant also sometimes animates in reverse.
  • A 100th anniversary variant also exists.
  • Three regional variants exist, which include Scotland (blue), Northern Island (green) and Cymru Wales (red).
• On BBC Three x Radio 1 The Launch Party, the screen glitches to this logo as well as the Strawberry Blond TV and BBC Radio 1 logos.

Technique: A still, digital graphic. The animated variant uses 2D computer animation created by SR Partners.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Audio Variants:

• For the animated variant, a three-beat rhythm tune (composed by Zelig) is used. The official onomatopoeia for the soundtrack is "Daphne", named after the former co-founder of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop from 1958 to 1959, Daphne Oram. A case study video can be found on their YouTube channel here and on Zelig's website here.
• On a 2023 print of a 1974 Doctor Who episode and Tubi prints of the pilot episode of Boarders, the animated logo's music sounds slightly distorted.

Availability: Seen on more recent programmes such as Dodger, Fergal Keane: Living with PTSD and the 2023 revival of Total Drama Island (which serves as the sixth season of Total Drama), respectively.

• As of now, it is currently used in tandem with the 5th logo.
• The animated variant is seen on The Green Planet, the live coverage of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, among others.
• The animated variant is also seen on newer DVD and Blu-ray releases from BBC Studios Home Entertainment, such as the 2023 UK DVD release of Ghosts: Series 5, replacing the 2017 logo.
