Nicknames: "Circles", "Early ABC", "Not-So-Froot Loops"
Nickname: "Froot Loops"


ID: In a black background, six rings move from left to right on different speeds. Three of the rings stop,while the other 3 move away from the screen. The rings that stopped transform into letters "abc". After transforming,the letters zoom out,revealing that the black background was a circle. We see the finished ABC logo in a grey background.
Logo: Against a black background, six circles come in from the left, colored red, pink, blue, light blue, green, and yellow. They all disappear off to the right except the red, blue, and green circles, which transform into an "A", "B", and "C", respectively, and in the corporate font used for the network. The letters then zoom out a bit and the black area shrinks to a circle, forming the ABC logo against a beige background.


Variant: A color variant exists.
FX/SFX: All 2D animation.


FX/SFX: The movement of the circles and their formation into the respective letters in the logo.
Trivia: The ABC logo was designed by Paul Rand (1914-1996), who is better known for designing the logos for IBM and Westinghouse, among others.


Music/Sounds: A loud bombastic theme with the last note being held for 2 seconds.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic horn fanfare, sometimes coupled with a man saying "This is an ABC color presentation.". Sometimes, the announcer is not used.


Music/Sounds Variant: If the logo was in color, an announcer would be heard saying "This is an ABC color presentation."
Music/Sounds Variant:
 
There was an earlier version that used an orchestral string fanfare and no announcer.
Availability: Unknown, but probably extremely rare.
Another version was used, which was a news theme-like orchestra fanfare, with an uplifting finish. This was seen on The Bullwinkle Show.
 
Editor's Note:


Availability: Ultra rare/Near extinction . This appeared before network broadcasts of The Bugs Bunny Show, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Bewitched, amongst other color programs ABC aired in the Sixties. The earlier music variant may have been seen on at least ONE episode of The Bugs Bunny Show. Strangely, this is left intact at the beginning on some episodes of The Baron on DVD, in place of the ITC logo.


Editor's Note:The first half of the logo is animated quite smoothly, but the second half with the zoom-out of the logo is somewhat rough. Also, the string variant's music is very poorly played. Despite that, this logo is a favorite of many.
