BBC One's identity has been symbolised by a globe shown on its [[Station identification|idents]] for much of its existence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.transdiffusion.org/emc/baird/symbol.php|title=Oh, that Symbol&nbsp;... |work= Baird |first1=Richard G |last1=Elen |date=1 December 2003 |access-date=28 May 2007 |publisher=Transdiffusion Broadcasting System|archive-date=11 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070811000854/http://www.transdiffusion.org/emc/baird/symbol.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> The first BBC ident was shown on 2 December 1953, known as the Bat's Wings. In 1962 this was replaced by a map of the UK shown between programmes, and in 1963 the globe appeared, changing in style and appearance over the next 39 years.

Most notably, on 18 February 1985, the "[[Computer Originated World]]" was introduced. This was a computer-animated globe with the land coloured gold and the sea a transparent blue, giving the impression of a glass globe. This was replaced by the "[[BBC One "Virtual Globe" ident|Virtual Globe]]" on 16 February 1991. On 4 October 1997, the globe became a [[BBC One "Balloon" idents|red, orange and yellow hot-air balloon]], coloured to resemble a globe. It was filmed flying around various places in the UK.

On 29 March 2002, the globe was replaced by a series of visual identities, "idents", consisting of people [[BBC One "Rhythm & Movement" idents|dancing in various styles]]. These were replaced on 7 October 2006 by the [[BBC One "Circle" idents|'circle' idents]]. According to the BBC, the circle symbol both represents togetherness (unity) and acts as a link to the classic globe icon used for 39 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/09_september/26/idents.shtml|title=BBC ONE launches new channel identity |date=26 September 2006|publisher=BBC|access-date=18 September 2011}}</ref> They ran until 4 December 2016, when that year's Christmas idents launched.
