'''Visuals:''' We see a jagged {{color|blue}} surface on a black background. The {{color|gold}} text "THAT SPECIAL FEELING!" (in the Lubalin Graph typeface) appears from behind the surface and shines while flying over it. The blue surface covers the rest of the black background as the text zooms past the camera. A flash then reveals the ABC logo, also in gold, which zooms out and shines as the same slogan appears in a gold script font below it.

'''Visuals:''' We see the words "Something's Happening!" being written out in an {{color|orange}} script font. It's then revealed to be above the "abc" text, which has a {{color|gold}} finish and rotates onto a metal circle on a {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} background. The orange script moves offscreen as each hole in the "abc" text is illuminated one by one, with another version of the orange script just below the "abc" text.

'''Visuals:''' We see the ABC logo form in the middle. Behind it, a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} circle drops down and zooms in to fills the rest of the screen. After this, a {{color|red}} circle drops down in front of the ABC logo and covers the screen. After the circle drops, a shadow turns clockwise and zooms out revealing that it is the ABC text in the signature font. Afterwards, {{color|limegreen|green}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} and {{color|orange}} circles drop down in tune with the beat, and finally, a black circle drops down. Once it hits the middle, a white shine appears. This white shine dissolves and reveals to be the ABC logo, whilst the black circle fills the screen. Once the logo is done forming, another green circle appears, drops down behind the ABC logo, and fills the screen. With this, the words "''' America's Broadcasting Company'''" appear in white. The logo stays on screen and shines along with the {{color|limegreen|green}} background.

'''Variant:''' The ID is sometimes shortened for local commercial breaks. Another version exists where the text is located directly below the logo, presumably to make room for a station identification logo.

'''Visuals:''' We see a 2D version of the black ABC circle forming on a black background. As this happens, 12 squares in many different shades of {{color|blue}} slide in (and also slide right), along with the slogan "America's Broadcasting Company" appearing word-by-word. Various ABC circles then zoom in behind the squares.
