Concept and creative process
This is the HD branded short version of 'Mission Control' first broadcast in 2007. It was one of the on-screen channel identities for the BBC One 'Circles' Campaign which ran from 2006-2016. The creative brief was to devise and film sequences of people, plants, machines and animals which ended in a circular image incorporating the new BBC One logo. This brief gave free rein to the imagination and resulted in a memorable series of channel idents which were used successfully throughout the decade. In this ident a lunar lander vehicle leaves its circular track marks on the moon surface dust, as the shadow of the orbiting mother ship passes briefly across the scene, completing the circle design leitmotif.
