'''Music/Sounds:''' A humming sound when the words zoom out, 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, followed by a loud synth trumpet crescendo when the words turn bronze and the green words appear, closing with a single drumbeat.

'''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 | '''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]], [[Magnetic Video Corporation]] (as well as successors [[20th Century-Fox Video]] and [[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'' and ''Huckleberry Finn''. Outside of VHS releases, this appeared on Carlton Select airings of ''Moonlighting'' (this despite the [[Buena Vista International Television]] logo's presence at the end), 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 [[DHX Media|DHX]] Junior print of ''The Littles'' episode ''The Spirits of the Night''. It may also appear on older prints of ABC made for TV movies. | ||
'''Legacy:''' Seeing as ABC's circle logo appeared on the company's print logo (where it was placed on top of the ABC Video Enterprises logo), it's a bit strange that it didn't appear on-screen. | '''Legacy:''' Seeing as ABC's circle logo appeared on the company's print logo (where it was placed on top of the ABC Video Enterprises logo), it's a bit strange that it didn't appear on-screen. | ||
