BBC One Balloon Idents were a set of idents shown for the channel from 4 October 1997 until 28 March 2002. It replacing the CGI spinning globe that being used as the main ident on BBC One since 1991. It launched on the same day as a BBC-wide rebrand, and thus the new idents carried the new BBC logo. The channel's name also changed, from BBC1 to BBC One.

The hot air balloon idents, featured in the idents, was filmed on location (including later additions). It was built by Cameron Balloons Ltd in 1997, and made its first flight that year, flying from the Bristol Balloon Party (or Fiesta in Spanish). It made its last flight in August 2002 before being placed into storage. The balloon's flight certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority expired on 17 July 2003. It's aircraft registration was "G-IBBC".

Sign this petition to bring back the Balloon idents on all regions in 2016, also we can keep the 2006 logo and having a new presentation despite bringing back the Balloon idents.

UPDATED (1/3/16): Channel 69, a youtube username, asked me on Monday that BBC1 should also bringing back the "1" ident that originally shown from 1991-1997.

Hey that also meaning that the BBC should bring back a number of idents from the past, including the Balloon and the Dancers; among original symbols from 1969-1997 (except the early ones from 1953-1969).

Could the BBC set a date for a Good Friday relaunch if possible? or sometime this year!
