'''Logo:''' Against a black background, six circles come in from the left, colored {{color|red}}, {{color|lightpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, {{color|limegreen|green}}, and {{color|gold|yellow}}. They all disappear off to the right except the {{color|red}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{color|limegreen|green}}, which transform into an "{{color|red|'''a'''}}", "{{color|dodgerblue|'''b'''}}", and "{{color|limegreen|'''c'''}}" respectively, and in the corporate font used for the network. The letters then zoom out a bit and the black area shrinks to a circle, forming the ABC logo against a {{color|navajowhite|beige}} background. | '''Logo:''' Against a black background, six circles come in from the left, colored {{color|red}}, {{color|lightpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, {{color|limegreen|green}}, and {{color|gold|yellow}}.
