'''Variants:''' | |||
* One promotional variant has the logo cut at the very end to reveal a satellite shot of the earth. When this specific promo ends, it fades into the logo with the ABC logo turning. | |||
* Another promotional variant has the logo slowly fade onto an orange background, where the logo is now a scribble-like drawing. Different styles of patterns also fade in on each corner of the logo, where they rapidly change patterns. | |||
* Yet another promotional variant had the logo play out normally until the music finishes. When it does finish, the logo gets zapped by lightning, the normal background is changed into different TV Show clips with specific genres. Nature, Drama, Comedy, Sport, Lifestyles, Music, Opera, Dance and Celebration in that order. When the promo nears the end, the logo does its normal animation. | |||

Two of the earliest releases to use the logo are the Festival Video releases of ''Fireman Sam: Treasure Hunt'' and ''The World of David the Gnome: David to the Rescue!''. It can also be seen on 1996-2005 BBC Video releases they distributed after the Roadshow Entertainment logo of the time. Starting in 1999, this logo appeared at the end of their releases in place of the Roadshow logo. This logo was also used on their earlier DVD releases, such as ''Wiggly TV'' and ''La Boheme''. It also appears at the end of periodical Playhouse Disney airings of ''The Wiggles: Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas'', likely because they used a VHS master of it. One of the final VHS releases to use this logo was ''The Wiggles: Here Comes the Big Red Car'' which was released in 2006. | ||

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a twisted shape swings up, in blue. A flash turns it red. Then, we cut to a purple part of the logo, and the camera pans down. The logo flashes, revealing itself to be the ABC Lissajous logo from 2001, colored in red, magenta and sky blue. "ABC" appears below the lissajous, with "DVD" under "ABC". | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a twisted shape swings up, in blue. A flash turns it red.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the revived 1975 Lissajous curve logo, taking up most of the screen, draws itself in two halves. The logo zooms out as "ABC" fades in underneath, in the ABC Sans front, with "DVD" then fading in underneath. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, the revived 1975 Lissajous curve logo, taking up most of the screen, draws itself in two halves.
