The 1991 idents featured a [[sans-serif]] numeral ''2'' at the centre of an initially art-related scene; however, the idents moved away from this style as the station's style changed. Although highly praised, this expansive set of idents was ended in November 2001. The [[Logo of the BBC|BBC corporate logo]] was updated within the idents in October 1997, though the idents moved away from the original [[viridian]] colour scheme in these latter years. The [[BBC Two "Personality" idents|subsequent presentation style]] was introduced on 19 November 2001 and kept the same figure ''2'', but in a yellow background and given a personality. At the time, BBC Two became the first BBC channel to feature a box logo.

In 2007, BBC Two debuted [[BBC Two "Window on the World" idents|the new theme]], a "Window on the World", with the ''2'' numeral providing that view. Introduced on 18 February 2007, the new look also had the channel adopt a teal-coloured box logo, featuring the BBC logo above the word ''TWO'', now in the font [[Avenir (typeface)|Avenir]].

In 2014, in honour of the channel's 50th anniversary, some of the 1990s idents were re-introduced and from 2015, BBC Two [[Northern Ireland]] opted to use nearly forty idents from the 1991–2001 set.

On 27 September 2018, the 1991–2001 idents were retired once again and BBC Two introduced a new set of idents, based on scenes incorporating a curve motif resembling the number 2. The new branding is designed to reflect BBC Two's "constant evolution, constant eclecticism, [and] constant sense of quality". The new idents are produced by various artists and studios, including [[Aardman Animations]], [[The Mill (company)|The Mill]] and others. The new identity was developed by BBC Creative and Superunion.<ref>{{cite news|last=Waterson |first=Jim |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/sep/25/bbc-two-first-full-rebrand-25-years |title=BBC Two to get first full rebrand since early 90s |newspaper=The Guardian |date=25 September 2018 |access-date=26 September 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/09/26/bbc-two-issues-re-invigorating-rebrand-vivid-and-colourful-reflect-content-diversity|title=BBC Two issues 're-invigorating' rebrand, vivid and colourful to reflect content diversity|work=The Drum|access-date=27 September 2018|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Dawood |first1=Sarah |title=BBC Two rebrands for first time in 20 years |url=https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/24-30-september-2018/bbc-two-rebrands-for-first-time-in-20-years/ |access-date=29 September 2018 |work=Design Week |publisher=Centaur Communications |date=26 September 2018}}</ref>

===Regional variations===
BBC Two also has regional variations in [[BBC Two Wales|Wales]] and [[BBC Two Northern Ireland|Northern Ireland]], which occasionally opt out of the national BBC Two feed to air programmes of local interest.

In November 2001, [[BBC Cymru Wales|BBC Wales]] introduced a special opt-out service  known as [[BBC 2W]], which aired weekdays from 8.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the BBC Two Wales channel space on digital television, and carried a separate schedule of Welsh-produced programming in comparison to the analogue BBC Two Wales. BBC 2W was discontinued in 2008 due to the transition to digital terrestrial television, with the main BBC Two Wales schedule being carried on Freeview thereafter.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2001-10-29|title=BBC Wales launches new channel|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/1626717.stm|access-date=2022-02-24}}</ref>

[[BBC Two Scotland]] operated until February 2019, when it was replaced by the national feed. Concurrently, a bespoke [[BBC Scotland (TV channel)|BBC Scotland channel]] was launched, which simulcasts the BBC Two schedule with opt-outs for local programming from 7:00&nbsp;p.m. to midnight nightly, and occasionally during the afternoon for news and sports programmes.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2019-02-24|title=New BBC Scotland TV channel launches|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47345058|access-date=2019-02-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2019-01-31|title=Where to find the new BBC Scotland TV channel|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-47069479|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=BBC faces strict quotas to ensure it delivers on promises on Scottish content on new channel|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16683725.bbc-faces-strict-quotas-to-ensure-it-delivers-on-promises-on-scottish-content-on-new-channel/|access-date=2019-02-12|website=Herald Scotland|date=3 September 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
