Abram Games had great ideas in mind when he designed the logo. He wanted to design it in a way that it would symbolize the revolutionary power of television as a medium in the technological sense. Personally I find that it does end up appearing quite dystopian but that was how optimism for the future was thought of by many creatives between the 1920s to the 1950s

I can certainly see a lot of of that BBC charm within this little old sequence, the fact it was a model, the distinctive look, the jingle, the circle motif, and so much more. Little did the directors of the BBC know their idents in future years, would inspire generations to come.

When the arrows at the top and bottom of the logo can remind one of the Pickelhaube and the sides of the wings look reminiscent of the logo of the SS, you can understand why. An odd refutation to this (and it is easy to refute that opinion) is the logo of Deutscher Fernseh Rundfunk, the Nazi German television service. It last aired in 1944 but its logo looked much more modern than this.

The BBC had to work on the brilliant imagination of some of their staff. A lot of things regarded as 'animation' (Captain Pugwash etc) was clever cut out art with sliding panels to change expressions. This was a brilliant mechanical model which apparently did one perfectly shot fully turned circle before breaking down but they managed to edit the footage together to create the 'hold' footage.
