Logo: We have the black ABC circle with the letters "abc" in its usual font forming on the circle. The circle backs away to the center of a blue background when we later see the word "Entertainment" and the ABC, Inc. copyright stamp fading in below. From behind the circle logo we see the letters "abc" forming a ripple from small to large letters.

Variant: An odd variant of this logo was spotted on a June 17, 2017 marathon of 2012-2013 America's Funniest Home Videos episodes, on the Up network. The logo starts off in normal speed and then suddenly gets slower, with the Vin di Bona Productions logo following suit also slowed down. After the airings of said episodes (of which are notably not in split-screen credits like Up normally uses), the pitch of the logo got lower and lower. This might be an editing mistake on the network's part.

Logo: We start with the letters "abc" in its characteristic trademarked font suddenly appearing on the screen. They zoom out, revealing the rest of the 2013 ABC Entertainment 2013ABC logo. As it zooms out, slowly decelerating, the light shining on it, on a similar shade to the background of the previous logo, becomes slightly darker. When the logo fills about half of the screen, the background fades to black, with a continuous glow around the logo. Just before this happens, the text "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" fades on the bottom third of the screen, along with the copyright stamp straight under it.
