Further References

• The 1991-1997 version of Powder was aired in the titles of the 3rd National Television Awards on 8 October 1997 on ITV1. This was the final broadcast of this version, and it had ceased to exist on BBC Two some days before. It was only a second long clip of the ident.
• An Internet meme based on making mock-versions of the BBC Two '1991-2001' idents has appeared. Some various mock idents include Blade II, Spin, Transylvania, Starfield, and Water Splash.
• The B.F.T. titles from Children's BBC in 1991 featured a small recreation of the Blade ident in the opening titles.
• 'Glass' appeared as part of a spoof BBC Two programme menu sequence in 1994 comedy series The Day Today, which aired shortly after the ident had been removed from regular network use.
• A British Pizza Hut advert from 1994 parodied the idents greatly. The advert started with the Paint ident. A man appeares, persumably the "painter", and tells the viewer about a new offer at Pizza Hut. This then changes to a family eating in Pizza Hut as a big '2' falls down from nowhere and pierces into the table (a parody of Blade), and the family say "that could take someone's eye out". The advert closes with a version of the Powder ident with the Pizza Hut logo replacing the '2'.
• The '2' features in the opening titles of BBC Two shows Top of the Pops 2 and BFT2
