Sorry to return to a discussion from a few days ago, but I thought I'd try and get a better look at the differences between the various 'cuts' of the 2008 title sequence, so tried to compare them as closely frame-for-frame and it sort of evolved into this...


Left-to-right - 2008 World, 2013 World, 2008 UK/10, 2013 UK/10 (Long version) and 2022 Network/10 - all compiled from versions available on YouTube. 

The things of note

[*]The only difference between 2008 UK and World versions are the cats cradles - largely this applies solely to city names, but the UK version is also a bit busier - most notably on the final shot.
[*]The 2013 World version is largely a recoloured (a bit orangey - plus Antarctica changes colour in the final shot) version of the 2008 titles, but the first shot is seemingly wholly redone - the 'pulses' on the white 'mask' layer have a tighter radius than on the other versions. There's also the addition of some extra text in the third shot and, not shown here, some shots are slowed down.
[*]The 2013 UK versions undergo their own recolouring (a deeper red). They adopt some of the World changes, but also feature some bigger edits of their own - the continent in the backdrop of the first shot is changed from North America to east Asia? (though it does not adopt the new World pattern); the background in the fourth shot is faded out (plus the cats cradle vanishes a few frames early); and the final shot sees Antarctica significantly repositioned within the globe and some changes to the the pulses. The cats cradle in the fifth shot is also now identical to the World version.
[*]With the 2013 UK versions, the shots that also feature in the standard short versions of the titles are the same as in the long version, except the penultimate shot which features the 'extra' cats cradle that is seen above in the 2022 version.
[*]Other than the changes to the cats cradle in the first shot, I was wrong to suggest the 2022 version was partly 'redrawn' the other day - it appears that the differences are largely the result of removing a few layers of detail and 'haze'.


Just before others suggest it, I do recognise that, even by the standards of this forum, this is a bit too geeky/mad.
