ID: As the ABC logos forms in the middle, a yellow circle drops down behind the ABC logo and fills the rest of the screen. After this, a red circle drops down in front of the ABC logo and covers the screen including the ABC logo. Also after the yellow circle drops, a shadow turns clockwise and zooms out revealing that it is the ABC text in the signature font. After green, blue, and orange circles drop down in tune with the beat, a black circle drops down. Once it hits the middle, a white shine appears. This white shine focuses and reveals to be the ABC logo, whilst the black circle fills the screen. Once the ABC logo is done forming, another green circle appears, drops down behind the ABC logo, and fills the screen. With this, the words "America's Broadcasting Company" appear in white. The logo stays on screen, while the Green BG lights up in certain places.
Nicknames: "The Twelve Squares", "Blue Squares"


Variant: The ID is sometimes shortened.
ID: We see a 2D version of the black ABC circle forming on a black background. As this happens, 12 squares in many different shades of blue slide in (and also slide right), along with the slogan "America's Broadcasting Company" in the same font as before.


FX/SFX: The Circles, the ABC logo, and the Green BG.
Trivia: This was designed by PMcD Design.


Music/Sound: The ABC theme, but dramatized and an extra note at the beginning. This gets shortened to the 2nd note on the shortened variant.
FX/SFX: The logo forming and squares moving.


Availability: Extinct. Was only seen around this time, and can be seen if one has a recording (VHS, DVD, etc.) from ABC at this time.
Music/Sounds: A guitar note, ending in a string rendition of the ABC theme. Sometimes combined with whooshes.


Editors Note: This logo design was used for the ABC Entertainment logo for programs around this time.
Availability: Extinct on TV.
 
Editor's Note: Same as the previous logo.
 
=== 11th ID (2004-2005)==
 
Nicknames: "Red Squares", "Welcome to the New ABC", "The Nine Squares"
 
Logo: On a background of nine red squares, we see the black circle being tilted. On it, the letters "a", "b" and "c" draw themselves circularly. When the logo positions itself, a “ripple-in-the-water” effect is seen, and the slogan "America's Broadcasting Company" fades in below.
 
FX/SFX: Prolific 3D animation.
 
Music/Sounds: A triumphant, news-like rendition of the ABC fanfare.
 
Availability: Extinct on TV.
 
Editor's Note: Same as the previous two logos.
 
=== 12th ID (2005-2006) ===
 
Nickname: "Bright ABC"
 
Logo: On a green-blue aurora background with white lines trailing around, we see a black disc in the center. The letters "a", "b", and "c" write themselves on the disc with the white lines to make the finished logo. When it forms, the words "'''AMERICA'S BROADCASTING COMPANY'''" appear word-by-word below and the disc then shines.
 
Variants: Localized variants have the slogan moved on the top and the station callsign and number on the bottom.
 
FX/SFX: Good animation.
 
Music/Sounds: Same as the 10th ID.
 
Availability: Extinct on TV.
 
Editor's Note: Same as the previous three logos.
