'''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:''' A large, blue ABC logo zooms out to the center on a space background with the text "Capital Cities/ABC Video Enterprises Inc." below it. Then, when the logo's in place, a comet streaks past the text below and changes it to "ABC Distribution Company" while the ABC logo above changes into an Earth globe. Sometimes, a copyright date appears below it.

'''Legacy:''' The only flaw is that at the beginning, the space background can still be seen on the side edges of the screen while the logo is close.

===4th Logo (1993-1995)===

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see the familiar ABC logo from 1962-2007. Below the logo, we see "Video" in a cursive font. They were intersected by some stripes.

* There was a variant seen on kids' tapes where the 1962-2007 ABC logo is in yellow with a hat on it. The stripes are absent in this logo.

* A longer eight second variant exists.  

* The kids' variant was seen on ''Schoolhouse Rock!'' tapes before [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]] took over, early ''Bump in the Night'' tapes, as well as the 1994 VHS release of ''The Secret Garden''.

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

===5th Logo (1996-1999)===

'''Logo:''' On an animated blue shiny background, an opaque ABC logo pops up while a much larger translucent one slides from left to right and the Video part of the logo slides in and then zooms out. Finally, the entire logo meets at the end of the sequence and the objects are still for a few seconds until the logo is over.

'''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).
