BBC Scotland

After playing a short loop of previews and news in the week running up, for the final 3 minutes before the channel launch at 7pm on February 24th, the new BBC Scotland channel switched to a countdown. Using the same bright graphical style which had been devised for the channel's overall presentation.

Purple butterflies hit the glassy logo, changing it to purple for this BBC Scotland ident, first used into the 7.30 junction on launch night.

A second version of the Rain ident, this time with the droplets turning the glass logo a bluey-green rather than pink. First aired 3.15pm on February 25th.

The ECP style for the channel follows the same house style as others from the BBC just this time in purple, aiding cross promotion on BBC One Scotland.

Another next slide for the channel, this time using a purple background colour.

One of the heavily promoted features of the new channel was a flagship Scottish news programme at 9pm known as 'The Nine'. With no programme airing on the first night due to the launch being on a Sunday, a short 90 second look ahead to what to expect from the new show was aired instead, and showing the very different style they would have to the rest of the BBC News output.

The opening to the first ever edition of The Nine, from February 25th 2019. Introduced once again by a countdown clock overlaid onto the studio. What better way to really try and hammer home the fact you're for the people, honest 100% truth there guv'nor, than by including endless photos of people for the opening sequence too?
