Not that it matters particularly, it's the old logo, and the idea of the square rotating as a cube was certainly something The Box genuinely used.
Well, I only meant the opening bit with the dropping cube (you can even see what looks like a couple of Betacam tape dropouts on that part... something I doubt they'd have gone to the effort of recreating considering few people would even notice it. It's always over the top chewed up VHS filters when trying to recreate that sort of thing!).
But yes, the last part with the flying logo and colours clearly isn't original.
I do remember live action idents with people holding or throwing a physical, transparent version of that cube and the slogan "I'm not a control freak, but I like to choose what I watch".
