CBeebies IDs

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 (2006-2019)
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.
