Since for many years there was only the single BBC television channel there was no need for any kind of graphic ident until 1953. The 'bat-wing' logo above was introduced in anticipation of the competition from the new commercial channels.

The Daily Express's Hickey column has marked 75 years since the first BBC broadcast in its own inimitable way. The diary column notes that the last BBC program to air before the outbreak of world war two was a Mickey Mouse cartoon on 1 September 1939. "And the first one after broadcasts returned on 7 June 1946? The same Mickey Mouse cartoon. BBC repeats have been a talking point ever since."
