'''Nickname:''' "Come On Along"

'''Logo:''' On a black background, an {{Font color|orange|orange}} star comes down from the top of the screen which makes the word "COME" appear. Then another one comes down which makes the word "ON" appear. One more comes down which makes the word "ALONG" appear. During all this, the slogan rotates to the right. Then a {{Font color|red|red}} streak comes down which reads out "ABC" and hits the three O's. When the letters hit the O's, a burst of stars form a {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}} neon background where the circle of the ABC logo in black with {{Font color|red|red}} emitting from the bottom of the circle fades in while the ABC text comes down and lands on the circle.

*There's a variant where the emitting {{Font color|red|red}} at the bottom of the circle is {{Font color|blue|blue}}. It's unknown if this variant is real.

*There's a version where the logo is blank. This was used for closed circuit broadcasts so local stations could their logos in.

*There is a version where the entire logo is still. This was used for closed circuit broadcasts and station sign-offs.

*A version was made for Nine Network in Australia. In this version, after the word "ALONG" appears, the entire logo freezes halfway through. The words slide away after a few seconds and the {{Font color|gold|gold}} Nine Network logo comes in on a space background.

'''Custom Local Variants:'''

*'''WCBD-TV 2 (Charleston, South Carolina; now an NBC affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''KEYT-TV 3 (Santa Barbara, California):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo, where the circle is now completely {{Font color|blue|blue}}.

*'''KXLY-TV 4 (Spokane, Washington):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo. Another variant has a byline with the words "KXLY-TV" on the left, the station's logo in the middle, and "SPOKANE" on the right, curved around the logo.

*'''WTAE-TV 4 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''WCVB-TV 5 (Boston-Worcester, Massachusetts):''' There's a byline with the words "''' WCVB'''TV" on the left, the station's logo in the middle, and "'''BOSTON'''" on the right.

*'''WEWS-TV 5 (Cleveland, Ohio):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "WEWS CLEVELAND" at the bottom.

*'''WTVN-TV 6 (Columbus, Ohio; now known as WSYX-TV):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "WTVN-TV" on top and "COLUMBUS" at the bottom.

*'''WATE-TV 6 (Knoxville, Tennessee):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''KLTV-TV 7 (Tyler-Longview, Texas):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "KLTV-Tyler" at the bottom.

*'''WABC-TV 7 (New York, New York):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "WABC-TV NEW YORK" at the bottom.

*'''WKBW-TV 7 (Buffalo, New York):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''WLS-TV 7 (Chicago, Illinois):''' There's a byline with the words "WLS-TV CHICAGO" on the left and the station's logo on the right.

*'''WMTW-TV 8 (Poland Spring-Auburn-Portland-Lewiston, Maine):''' There are two different versions of the station's logo replacing the ABC logo.

*'''KUSA-TV 9 (Denver, Colorado; now an NBC affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''WFTV-TV 9 (Orlando, Florida):''' There's a byline with the words "WFTV" in the middle, the ABC logo on the right, the number "9" on the right, and "ORLANDO" at the bottom.

*'''WLUK-TV 11 (Green Bay-Fox Cities, Wisconsin; now a FOX affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo, and the words "Green Bay, WI" are at the bottom.

*'''WAKR-TV 23 (Akron-Cleveland, Ohio; now known as WPVX-TV and now an Ion Television O&O affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo. Another version has it in a box with the words "WAKR-TV" on top and "Akron/Canton" on the bottom.

*'''WAAY-TV 31 (Huntsville-Decatur-Shoals-Sand Mountain, Alabama):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

*'''WBAK-TV 38 (Terre Haute, Indiana; now known as WAWV-TV):''' The main logo is now in a curved box with the number "38" in a circle on the right. The words "WBAK-TV" are on top and "Terre Haute" with the ABC logo beside it is at the bottom.

*'''WGXA-TV (Macon, Georgia)ː''' It's different. We see a blue/green comet make "The Macon Spirit" with the channel number seen. We then see the print ABC logo & "WGXA-TV" below. Then, it "shines".

'''FX/SFX:''' The star coming down, the ABC text shooting down onto the circle, etc. Cel animation by Harry Marks.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The campaign's song "Come On Along." Composed by Frank Gari and Artie Schroeck.

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Was used as a station ID. This logo also made an appearance on ''Mysteries of the Universe'', a fictional program from ABC that was connected to ''Lost''. This appearance can be found on the fifth season DVD of ''Lost'' as a bonus feature.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is a favorite of many.
