In 1988, BBC Video changed their logo to a globe running around (based on BBC One's 'COW' ident), with "BBC Video" underneath. The on-screen logo had it start out as a flat map, before transforming into a globe.
1991–1997[]
Just a few years after BBC changed their logo, the video division introduced this logo.
Idents featuring on videos often refer to the BBC only henceforward.
1997–2006[]
In 1997, coinciding with the new BBC logo, the BBC Video logo was changed yet again.
On 12 July 2004, BBC Worldwide and Woolworths Group announced they had entered into a joint venture to form 2 Entertain (stylized as 2 | entertain), which would combine BBC Worldwide's video publishing unit (BBC Video) with Woolworths Group's video publishing, music publishing and video production unit (Video Collection International). BBC Worldwide would hold 60%, while the Woolworths Group would hold 40%, additionally, both BBC Worldwide and Woolworths Group wanted 2 Entertain to better compete with the major studios.[1][2] The deal was completed on 27 September with Video Collection International being renamed 2 Entertain Video Ltd. in October.[3] During this transition period, BBC Worldwide continued distributing their mainstream releases. By June 2005, the 2 Entertain brand started appearing on packaging of mainstream BBC releases, and the transition was fully completed by September 2005 with the debut of 2 Entertain's on-screen logo. BBC Worldwide initially continued to hold standalone rights to children's, music, and educational releases until 2010.
