1976 variant

Visuals: On an orange background are two dark orange circles and a brown map of the world. The circles merge into one, then the stacked text "BBC NEWS" appears. This ends with a circle transition to the beginning of the news bulletin.

Variant: Starting in 1979, it just shows the first frame of the intro tinted in blue. "BBC NEWS", in a sans-serif font this time, zooms in. The text then disappears before transitioning as normal.
