=== (201?- )===
<u>Background</u>: ABC Studios was originally formed as the [[Touchstone Television (1985-2007)|original Touchstone Television]], which was then renamed as "ABC Television Studios" in February 2007 before it was renamed again to its current name in May 2007.
 
=== 1st Logo (May-September 23, 2007) ===
 
[[File:ABC Studios (2007) 1.png|right|300px]]
 
<u>Logo</u>: On a white background, a black ABC circle iris in on the left with the text "'''studios'''" in the same font as the ABC logo, with a shadow effect rises up from the middle of the screen on the right side of the logo.
 
<u>FX/SFX</u>: The circle and text appearing.
 
<u>Music/Sounds</u>: None.
 
<u>Availability</u>: Rare. Appeared on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'', season 2 of ''Kyle XY'', and some ABC summer programs in 2007.
 
<u>Editor's Note</u>: Rather simple, but it's likely just a placeholder for the next logo.
 
 
 
=== 2nd Logo (September 24, 2007-September 2013) ===
[[File:ABC Studios (2007) 2.png|right|300px]]
 
<u>Nicknames</u>: "The Silhouettes", "Silhouettes Working on Set", "ABC Camera"
 
<u>Logo</u>: On a white/{{Font color|#808080|silver}} background, we see silhouettes of people working, carrying ladders, cameras, etc. as if they were working on a studio. then we rapidly zoom to a lens of a camera, which overtakes the screen. Then we see the ABC logo, in 3D with a "glossy" texture, with "'''studios'''" next to it, in a dark background with a small blue streak passing by, similar to the "Start Here" graphics from the 2007 fall season.
 
<u>Trivia</u>: The whole logo appears to be a throwback to the classic 1962 "An ABC Presentation" camera logo. At the beginning of the logo, the numbers 4, 8, 15, and 16 appear on the clapper, then 15 and 16 change to 23 and 42. These are the recurring numbers from ''Lost''. Design-wise, this logo was probably the work of Troika Design Group, who were behind the "Start Here" look.
 
<u>Variant</u>: A widescreen version exists.
 
<u>FX/SFX</u>: The people moving around and the 3-D ABC logo shining.
 
<u>Music/Sounds</u>: A bass drum "boom" sound is heard, then an uplifting, 5-note orchestration, mixed with twinkle sounds (the first four notes is the ABC jingle that been used since 1998), original network airings along with CBS airings use their generic themes.
 
<u>Music/Sounds Variant</u>: There is a longer version of the theme.
 
<u>Availability</u>: Somewhat uncommon. This logo is no longer used as of September 2013.
:*It's on just about any show produced by ABC before 2013 (i.e. ''Desperate Housewives'', ''Grey's Anatomy'', ''Scrubs'' etc.), excluding the ABC broadcasts which have it cut out in favor of an in-credit mention for the studio; VOD and home media releases have the logo though.
:*It can also be seen on ''Criminal Minds'' and ''Ghost Whisperer'' on CBS, and other ex-Touchstone shows (except for post-2007 episodes of ''Monk'').
:*A shorter widescreen version was seen on S2 of ''Dirt'' on FX.
:*The version with the music was last seen on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' on ABC and the short-lived ''Legend of the Seeker'' in syndication.
 
<u>Editor's Note</u>: None.

<u>Logo</u>: On a dark, murky background, a {{Font color|#ffff00|pale yellow}} spotlight fades in, moving towards the top-right of the screen. It flashes brightly for a moment, and some of its light morphs into the 2013 ABC logo and the word "'''studios'''", now in a different font, written next to it. The word and logo shine and zoom in. The spotlight continues to move towards the corner, gradually fading out, leaving just the ABC logo and "'''studios'''" written on the once again murky background.
