ABC Video (US): Difference between revisions

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Seen at the end of ''The Miracle of Lake Placid'' and at the start of ''The Greatest Fights of the '70s''. Don't expect to find this on ''The Horse That Played Center Field'' or anything released by [[Magnetic Video Corporation]].

===2nd Logo (1982-1987, 1991)===

'''Availability:''' Rare. At the time, ABC licensed its film and TV library to various companies for VHS/Laserdisc/Betamax release, such as [[Embassy Home Entertainment]], [[Golden Books Family Entertainment|Golden Book Video]], [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|CBS/Fox Video]], [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]], and [[Republic Pictures Home Video]] (to name a few). The best way to find this logo is looking for an ABC Video Enterprises print logo on the cover. Re-releases put out via Promotional Concept Group Inc. in the late 1980s-early 1990s will most likely use the 3rd logo instead. 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.

===3rd Logo (1986-1993)===

'''Availability:''' Rare. Can be seen on some old videotapes of TV shows and movies produced and distributed by ABC. It made an appearance at the end of Sundance TV's airings of the ''My So-Called Life'' episode "Life of Brian" before the 1998 [[Buena Vista International Television]] logo. It also appears on a few episodes on the said show's DVD releases. It also makes an appearance at the beginning of the 2006 Anchor Bay UK DVD release of ''The Secret Garden'' and also at the beginning of the Kino Lorber DVD release of ''Young Pioneers''. It may also appear on DVD releases of old ABC TV movies from KL and Echo Bridge. This was seen at the end of a 2000s OMNI 2 Canada airing of an old ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' episode, before the 2006 BVIT logo. Also appears at the end of some episodes of ''Wild West Cow-Boys of M.O.O. Mesa''. It was surprisingly seen on TubiTV's print of ''The Magic Flute'', licensed by DHX/WildBrain, with the Cookie Jar logo at the end. This could be due to the fact that Tubi/WildBrain used a home video master of the film. It was also seen on the Echo Bridge 7 Action Film Pack DVD of ''The Kansas City Massacre''. The still variant appears on Crackle's print of ''Captive''. The filmed variant is extremely rare and is seen on mid 80’s-early 90’s prints of TV movies, one of which is ''Notorious'' (1992).

* The longer eight second variant is extinct. It's only known appearance was on the 1995 laserdisc of ''The Day After Director's Cut''.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Appears on ABC tapes distributed by Buena Vista Home Video, such as the VHS boxset series ''The Century: America's Time'' (w/ Peter Jennings).
