'''Nicknames:''' "ABC Glass II", "Zooming DVD Logo of Doom", "The Loud WHOOSH DVD Logo of Doom"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, the ABC logo animates in the same way as the 3rd ABC Video logo, except this time, it's on the top half of the screen and much smaller than before. After that, the generic DVD logo zooms in underneath it.

'''Availability:''' Seen on 2001-2008 Australian Broadcasting Corporation DVDs, with one example being the DVD of ''CNNNN'', released in 2004. This is absent on the DVDs of ''The Wiggles: Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!'' and ''The Wiggles: Top of the Tots'' after the G rating (which instead proceeds to the ABC For Kids logo from 1992-1994).

'''Legacy:'''  Much like logos such as the first Carlton Video logo, this is known to scare viewers who aren't expecting the loud whoosh when the DVD logo zooms in. Otherwise, it’s typically a favourite among Australians, just like the last logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Lissajous", "Tri-colored Lissajous", “Red, Purple and Blue Lissajous”


'''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".

'''Availability:''' Seen on Australian Broadcasting Corporation DVDs from the time period. Even though the 2002 lissajous curve logo is now being used only as a secondary logo in favor of a revived 1975 logo, this logo continued to be used until 2019, when the company underwent a complete rebrand, officially dumping the 2002 logo all together.

'''Legacy:''' This logo bears a resemblance to the "Reflections" IDs used by the station in 2001. A pretty well made logo. Sadly, their 3rd and last ABC DVD logo is nothing compared to this logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "Drawing Lissajous", "Over-Simplistic ABC", "The Classic Lissajous Logo Returns"


'''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.

'''Legacy:''' This logo received a lot of negative criticism by many old ABC fans due to its over-simplicity (hence the nickname "Over-Simplistic ABC"), as part of the simplistic logo trend of the 2010s. However, the 1975 ABC logo is a really nice comeback.
