This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was later removed in December 2022, upon the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Once they overlap each other, they flash before cutting to seven copies of the same text sliding over each other, this time stacked on top of each other and in blue, gold, pink, orange, green, yellow, and red. They flash when they overlap each other, and an outlined version of the ABC logo in white appears next to them, with several orange circles surrounding it forming a tunnel that flashes.

'''Logo:''' On a {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|blue}} gradient background with what looks like the ocean on the bottom, the camera rotates around a glass ball with {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|gold}} "abc" text and a {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|gold}} ring in front of it as {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|red}}, {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|purple}} and {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|green}} trails circle around it to form the letter "O". The camera pans around it as the glass ball flies through the "O" and the rest of the word "TOGETHER" (in the ITC Avant Garde typeface) forms with a shiny metal finish. It situates itself on a different blue gradient as the camera zooms out to show the ABC logo from earlier in front of the text, which shines along with the logo itself.

'''Logo:''' On a dark gray background, we see a {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|red}} circle splitting into three circles. The circles get farther and farther, eventually getting closer as the middle one zooms out. It then forms a black outlined circle on a red background with circles, with three smaller black ones inside, with another black outlined circle to the right of it and yet another one to the left of it. The first of the small black circles immediately forms as “A” with the second later forming a "B" and the third eventually forming a "C", forming “ABC” on a red circle on the same dark gray background while a red outlined circle zooms in.

*There is one variant in black and white without circles, and it cuts straight to the circles forming

* Another black/white version exists, with the full animation.
*On ABC's preroll, a completely different animation is seen. On a dark gray background, we see a {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|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.

'''Logo:''' On a brown background, we see several yellow lines appearing, forming a yellow grid. The grid turns red as the grid's squares morph into circles. The circles then converge into a single circle, which flips into the "ABC" wordmark in white, which zooms in. The background turns black as this happens.
