As part of an extensive rebrand to cast off BBC2's "highbrow" tone on 16 February 1991, Lambie-Nairn launched a brand new set of idents which lasted for 10 years until they were replaced in 2001. For the first time, a corporate logo scheme featuring the 1988 BBC logo was employed across all of the BBC's services. The logo would be copied later by other international public networks such as Yle TV2 in Finland and TVNZ 2 in New Zealand.
