* There is a promo variant where we see several pictures from ABC shows fly in from the sides. After quite some time, the normal animation plays, but this time, there are silhouettes of various people in different colors (Two men, a doctor and her husband, a judge, and a family). After the animations of them fly out, the text "this is the place to be" in purple slide in from the right and settles in the middle. The logo then fades out.

'''Music/Sounds:''' One clip has audio, which is heard before the music starts. The music itself includes, in the beginning, a 7-note bass playing with a 7-note trumpet that starts at the third bass note and is at a faster pace. Then, groovy music plays, as a choir sings "What you see on ABC this fall you'll be talking about", then a man finishes the slogan saying "Tomorrow!". The choir then sings that same line and holds it for a bit.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the word "{{color|#FFD900|'''WELCOME'''}}" zooms in and hits the screen 3 times. Then the slogan, "{{color|#FFD900|'''WELCOME TO THE BRIGHT NEW WORLD OF ABC'''}}" scrolls up. Before it ends, it cross-fades into a {{color|blue}}-{{color|red}} lined floor where in the distance, the ABC logo in {{color|orange}} lifts up from behind the floor and goes into place in mid-air.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a small group of sparkles moving around in different directions until they form the worlds "''' LET US BE THE ONE!'''" (tilted at an angle). A {{color|deeppink|pink}} glow flashes behind the words as they continuously zoom closer and fill the screen. Then we cut to a chrome ABC logo glowing {{color|blue}}, with the ABC letters shining as it slowly zooms out.

'''Logo:''' Over a starry night sky, a multitude of streaks pass by as a rainbow-like rectangular box with streaks pass from left to right. In the box is the slogan "We're The One" in a typical 70's font. When it gets up-close, the rectangular box fades out while the words pass by. It then fades into a rainbow-colored background with lines circling it. Then a starry swirl zooms in which leads to a circle where explosions happen to show the familiar ABC logo with a spinning rainbow circling it. During this, more streaks pass by.

Then when the grids disappear, a pair of stars, lined up horizontally, shoot out into the place where they flash and segue into a pair of multicolored lines ({{color|blue}}, {{color|green}}, and {{color|orange}}). The lines then tilt clockwise with streaks shooting left. A black circle then fades in where the letters to the ABC logo flash dimly. The streaks continue to shoot left.

It then zooms out the reveal the ABC logo with {{color|red}} lines going across the logo and {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} lines going down it. When the logo gets into place, a {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}-{{color|red}} border zooms out into place. The circle of the logo continues to spin when the logo finishes.
