'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the black words "ABC VIDEO" with white sparkling outlines zoom out and connect together. Afterwards, one of the outlines' sparkles, between A (in ABC) and V (in VIDEO), shines, connecting the A in "ABC" to the V in "VIDEO", and the words become bronze. Then the green words "ENTERPRISES, INC.", sandwiched by green lines, appears at the bottom of "VIDEO" via a wipe effect in rays of light. The bronze words "ABC VIDEO" sparkle. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the black words "ABC VIDEO" with white sparkling outlines zoom out and connect together.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat. A silent version exists, as well. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, sounding bizarrely like the start of the Walt Disney Home Video "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat.

The silent version can be found at the end of the [[Playhouse Video]] release of ''Here Come the Littles!''. It's retained at the start of [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment]] releases of ABC-owned titles, like ''Home for the Holidays''. Outside of VHS releases, this appeared on True Movies airings of ''No Place to Run'' and ''The Kansas City Massacre'', Talking Pictures TV airings of ''The Great Houdini'', a January 23rd 1996 AMC airing of ''The Wild Heart'', and the last few frames of this logo were accidentally kept intact on a [[WildBrain (Canada)|DHX]] Junior print of ''The Littles'' episode ''The Spirits of the Night''. It may also appear on more prints of ABC made for TV Movies. | ||
