'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is 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.
'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the glass outlined words "{{font|Arial|'''ABC VIDEO'''}}" zoom out and come closer together to each other, all while the edges of which shine brightly on their edges. As they meet in the center, the left slant of the "'''A'''" and the right slant of the "'''V'''", which don't have any border to them, join together and flash a bright {{color|gold}} color around the area, causing the glass letters to become fully visible before wiping in a metallic {{color|gold}} shade over the letters. Below, a neon {{color|green}} line appears in the center and expands out, revealing "{{font|Arial|{{color|green|'''ENTERPRISES, INC.'''}}}}" sandwiched by 2 lines. The "{{color|gold|{{font|Arial|'''ABC VIDEO'''}}}}" text then sparkles all over.


'''Technique:''' Motion-controlled animation.

'''Audio:''' 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.

'''Visuals:''' 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 (starting by a "scanline" wipe of the globe before it fades to the globe). Sometimes, a copyright date appears below it.
'''Visuals:''' The camera fades into a giant {{color|blue}} ABC logo zooming out at an angle, with the letters colored white and having a faint {{color|pink}} tint on the inside border, as well as a bumpy texture throughout the entire logo. The logo zooms out and tilts downwards to face the screen, revealing a space background filled with various lights that move slightly, as well as the text "{{color|gold|{{font|serif|Capital Cities/ABC Video Enterprises Inc.}}}}" below. As the logo settles, a large {{color|gold|yellow}} comet passes from left to right, changing the text into "{{font size|{{color|gold|{{font|serif|ABC Distribution Group}}}}|125}}" as a Earth globe with yellow continents and blue oceans briefly wipes over the ABC logo via a scanline wipe, before it fully fades over the logo and rotates clockwise. The lights also glow brightly for a brief moment.


'''Trivia:''' At the beginning, the space background can still be seen on the side edges of the screen while the logo is close.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, the ABC logo of the time is seen at the top center of the screen, followed by "'''''Video'''''" in a script font before angled diagonally towards the top right. A line is seen above the ABC logo, and 5 more are behind "'''''Video'''''".


'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* 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.
* On tapes of children's programming, the ABC logo is replaced with a {{color|gold|yellow}} version wearing a hat with {{color|red}}, {{color|green}}, and {{color|blue}} stripes all over it. The stripes are also missing.
* A longer eight second variant exists.  
* A version where the logo stays on screen for 8 seconds, doubled from the regular 4 seconds, exists.

'''Visuals:''' 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.
'''Visuals:''' On an animated {{color|blue}} background of a shimmering burst of light, the ABC logo, now in {{color|silver}}, flies in from the bottom right as a translucent copy flies across the screen from the left. As this happens, the same "'''''Video'''''" and 5 lines behind it, also in {{color|silver}}, swoop in from the bottom left and join together to create a similar result to the previous logo, but without the top line. The background continues to animate.
