1st Print Logo
(1958-1963)
Logo: We see three square blocks with the italic letters "B B C" inside.
2nd Print Logo
(1963-1971)
Logo: Same as before, but the boxes are now italicized to match with the letters.
3rd Print Logo
(1971-1991)
Logo: Same as before, but the boxes' corners are now rounded.
4th Print Logo
(1988-1997)
Logo: Same style as before, but the boxes now have square corners and slanted to 17 degrees. The font for the BBC letters is now "Helvetica Nue" and three slanted rectangular lines are now added underneath the boxes - blue, red and green.
Trivia: The logo is designed by Michael Peters to modify the then-current logo by sharpening up the edges, reducing the size of the letters slightly, and adding three coloured lines under the BBC boxes which are to represent three phosphors of a colour television picture as well as three flags: Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively. During the use of the logo, there were some problems; the slanted nature meant it never worked well on screen or at a small size. It was never comfortable with the brand and straight letters. And finally, printing costs were increasingly high, due to the coloured lines.
Notes:
5th Print Logo
(1997-)
Logo: The logo has now been redesigned. The three boxes and the letters are now vertically straightened, the coloured lines have been withdrawn, and the font for the BBC letters is now Gill Sans.

During the use of the logo, there were some problems; the slanted nature meant it never worked well on screen or at a small size. It was never comfortable with the brand and straight letters. And finally, printing costs were increasingly high, due to the coloured lines.

- Occasionally, the word "TELEVISION" can be seen underneath.
- The entire logo (including the lines) can be all in one colour.
- The logo can be seen in the copyright date.
