'''Availability:''' Seen on ABC Kids videos from 1991 through 1993, some examples being the 1991 VHS of ''Play School: The Road Show'', ''Spot's First Video'' (the 1997 print uses the 3rd logo), ''Spot Goes to the Farm'' (the 1994 print uses the 3rd logo and the 2000s reissue uses the 4th logo), ''ABC For Kids Video Hits'' and ''ABC For Kids Video Hits Vol 2'' (the 1993 and 1994 prints use the 3rd logo), ''The Adventures of Spot'' (the 2000 re-release uses the 4th logo), ''Play School: Special and Concert'', and ''Peter Combe Plays Chopsticks'' (the 1993 VHS uses the 3rd logo). On the 1993 re-issue of ''Babar: The Missing Crown Affair'', the 1994 reprint of ''Fireman Sam: Fire Safety Special'', the 1994 re-issue of ''ABC For Kids: Live in Concert'', and the 1997 re-issue of ''Fireman Sam: Lost Cat'', the logo is replaced by the 3rd logo. This is retained on the 1994 reprints of ''Bananas in Pyjamas: Birthday Special'' and ''Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends: Thomas and Gordon'', the 1998 VHS reprint of ''Fireman Sam: A Spot of Bother'' and on the 1997 reprint of ''Bananas in Pyjamas: Show Business''. The last three tapes to use this promo were ''Babar: Monkey Business'', ''Fireman Sam: Brass Band'' and ''Widget: Great Barrier Thief''.

'''Availability:''' The long version was only seen on ''ABC For Kids Video Hits Vol 2'' (1992) and ''ABC For Kids: Live in Concert''. The short version was used as an intermission clip on compilation video tapes like ''ABC For Kids Favourites'', at the opening of some VHS releases (such as ''The Wiggles: The Wiggly Big Show'', ''The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video'', and ''Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate'') in place of the 4th logo, and on most ABC Kids DVDs released from 2000-2009 (such as on most ''The Wiggles'' DVDs like ''Wiggly TV'', ''Pop Go The Wiggles'', ''You Make Me Feel Like Dancing'', and the opening of ''Wiggle Bay'', as well as on ''The Hooley Dooleys: At the Farm''). The last release to use this logo on home video was the 2006 VHS of ''The Wiggles: Here Comes the Big Red Car'', and it's last known DVD appearance was on the 2009 DVD of ''Fireman Sam: A Spot of Bother''.

'''Availability:''' Seen on all ABC Kids VHS tapes from mid 1993 to around 1997, some tapes that have this logo are ''Spot's Magical Christmas'', ''Johnson and Friends: Dinosaur Tracks'' (one of the first known tapes to use the late 1994-1997 variant), ''Lift-Off: E.C. and the Lift-Off Kids'', ''Postman Pat and the Barometer'', the 1997 VHS of ''The Wiggles: Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas'' (the 1999 print uses the previous logo), the 1993 re-print of ''Play School: All Together Show & At the Zoo'', the 1997 VHS of ''The Wiggles: Wiggledance!'' (the 1998 print plasters this with the next logo instead), and ''Play School: On the Move''. The pre-Late 1994 variant also appears during the closing of the 1994 VHS tape of ''Airbourne'' (said closing mainly composed of kids VHS promos) despite being a Roadshow release. This promo is retained on the 1997 reprint of ''Bananas in Pyjamas: Hiccups'' and the 2000 reprints of ''The Wiggles: Big Red Car'' and ''The Wiggles: Wake Up Jeff!'' as their masters were recycled from their original 1993, and 1995 and 1996 releases, respectively. Some of the first tapes to use the logo are ''Play School: Out and About'' and ''Wiggle Time!''. On the 2000s re-issues of ''Spot Goes to the Farm'' and ''Spot Goes to a Party'', this logo is replaced by the next one. This does not appear on ''Blinky Bill and the Winter's Tale'', the 1993 VHS tape of ''Peter Ustinov Reads the Orchestra'', the 1994 VHS tape of ''Escape from Jupiter'' and the 1995 VHS tapes of ''Art Attack'' and ''Art Attack 2'' as they use a normal ABC Video promo instead. One of the last tapes to use the pre late-1994 variant was ''ABC for Kids: Lots of Other Great Songs''. Some of the last tapes to use this logo were ''Arthur's Eyes'' and ''Arthur's Pet Business''.

'''Availability:''' The long promo was seen on all ABC Kids VHS tapes from the late '90s to early 2000s (examples being ''Don Spencer's Club Kangaroo Australia'', ''Spot and His Grandparents Go to the Carnival'', ''Bananas In Pyjamas: Beat Box'', ''The Fimbles: Get the Fimbling Feeling'' and ''Spot's Musical Adventures'') can also be seen on a few DVDs of the time with two examples being ''The Hooley Dooleys: Super Dooper'' and ''The Hooley Dooleys: All Together Now''. It was strangely absent on the VHS releases of ''Arthur & The Crunch Cereal Contest'' and ''The Wiggles: Space Dancing!''. The short version was used on television during the ABC for Kids block between 1994 and 2001. It debuted on home video on the 1994 VHS release of ''ABC for Kids: Lots of Other Great Songs'' (as an intermission clip) and was also used as part of the opening of ''ABC for Kids: Showtime'', and as an intermission clip on the ABC For Kids compilation VHS tapes such as ''ABC for Kids: Favourites'', ''ABC for Kids: Bumper Collection'', and ''ABC for Kids: Let's Sing and Dance!''. The first tapes to use this were ''Babar: A Charmed Life'', ''Billy the Cat: The Rescue'', ''Johnson and Friends: The Tin Star'' and ''Oakie Doke and the Orchestra''. It also shows up at the closing of the VHS of ''The Hooley Dooleys: Keep on Dancing'' right after the ABC Video logo, on the VHS of ''Johnson and Friends: Sock Soup'' (despite being a Fun For Kids tape), and at the end of the DVD of ''The Wiggles: Wiggle Bay'' after a promo for other ''The Wiggles'' VHS tapes and DVDs released at the time. The ABC For Kids Club promo variant can be found during the opening of the 2000 VHS of ''ABC For Kids: Play Box'', and the 2002 VHS of ''Down to Earth'' (despite being a Roadshow release). It's also seen on the 2001 VHS of ''Arthur Babysits'' (even though it's a Fun For Kids Tape).

'''Availability:''' Can be seen on DVDs with the ABC Kids logo on the front cover. It also makes a surprise appearance on the DVD release of ''ABC For Kids: Just For Fun'', despite the VHS using the "Clip Show" version of the 4th logo.

'''Availability:''' Extinct, check your old recordings as this branding was never used on home video. At this time video releases still used the older "ABC For Kids" branding. It should be noted that the "puppet show" IDs were used for opening and closing the block only and were used even after the next IDs were introduced and right up until this branding was discontinued following the launch of [[ABC ME (Australia)|ABC3]] and the ABC Kids block returning to a pre-school focused format.

'''Availability:''' Extinct on TV. Check your recordings between 2005 and 2008. These were used in tandem with the previous IDs.

'''Availability:''' In general, the standard variant was seen on DVDs from 2009 until 2015. The variant without the kids appears at the end of DVDs from the same time period, and at the start of DVDs of ''The Wiggles'' and ''Play School'' from 2017-2019, in place of the ABC DVD logo. On TV, the logo was used between 2009 and 2011, when the ABC4Kids branding was introduced.

'''Availability:''' The opening variant is seen on all ABC Kids DVDs starting from 2020. The first DVD to use that variant was ''The Wiggles: Fun and Games''. Also seen on the TV channel. The closing variant is seen at the end of DVDs and on the TV channel.
