I do think the reuse of the 90s idents from their 50th birthday onwards somewhat tarnished their legacy. I'm not sure the original set has aged that well too, though arguably it was the later additions which cemented the 2s as a presentation icon anyway.

Agree the personality 2s were a decent refresh of the rebrand, unlike the awful Window on the World era. Personally do think the curves are certainly up there with them, perhaps even slightly better them, but would be nice to see some more additions.

It didn’t help that the revived 90s idents were in upscaled SD, and of course the original set were framed for 4:3. I never thought those looked right from 1997 when they were first cropped for widescreen.

Had they been able to rescan the original film prints for the 50th anniversary, I think they’d have looked a lot fresher.
