*'''Long Version:''' On a bright gray surface over a white and {{color|silver|light gray}} background, a selection set emerges and rotates. It contains four ABC circles, each with a different device inside (a cell phone, an iPod/mp3 player, a computer, and a TV). When the set shows us every picture, it compresses into a single circle with an arrow, which immediately reverts to the ABC logo. Water drops appear around, and the words "start here" (written in the Aaux typeface) are drawn to the right. {{color|red|Red}} ribbons appear around the logo afterwards.

*'''Short Version:''' On the same gradient background as before, we see the ABC logo tilted to its side, covered in water. The water is raised from the top of the screen, as the logo is revealed, taking its comfortable position. As this happens, a {{color|red|red}} ribbon flies by. The "start here" text from before may or may not appear. This version appeared at the end of promos for ABC shows during this period.

'''Logo:''' We start with the letters "'''ABC''" in its characteristic trademarked font suddenly appearing on the screen. They zoom out, revealing the rest of the 2013 ABC logo. As it zooms out, slowly decelerating, the light shining on it, in a similar shade to the background of the previous logo, becomes slightly darker. When the logo fills about half of the screen, the background fades to black, with continuous glowing around the logo. The logo slowly zooms out.

*In 2015, we start on a black background, two brown transparent circles fly down about two-thirds of the screen while overlapping each other and reveal the ABC logo from before zooming out a bit, ending up with the same result as before but with the two circles still on the screen.
*In 2016, it shows the 2013 ABC logo swings out from the right side of the screen to the center, encircled by gold dust. The dust flies away to the right as the ABC logo.

*On ABC's preroll, a completely different animation is seen. On a dark gray background, we see a {{color|red}} circle, with three smaller black ones inside. The three circles zoom out one after the other, with the first one already formed as “A”. The circles zoom back up sequentially, while morphing into their respective letters, forming "ABC". with "ORIGINAL" also in red beside the ABC logo. As that is happening, spinning black/dark blue gradient circles fade in behind the logo.
