'''Visuals:''' On a black background, we see a shining, glowing {{color|blue}} ABC logo. Then we see the {{color|deeppink|pink}} words "LET US BE THE ONE YOU TURN TO" flashing in time with the lyrics of the music ("Let us be the one you turn to / Let us be the one, let us be the one"). Then we see a small group of sparkles moving around in different directions until they form the words "'''LET US BE THE ONE!'''" (tilted at an angle). A {{color|deeppink|pink}} glow flashes behind the words as they zoom towards us. Then we cut to the ABC logo from before as it slowly zooms out.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background with {{color|red}} dust in the distance, we see the striped text "WE'RE WITH YOU" slanted at an angle. The text then flies past the camera while tilting upward to reveal it being made of {{color|red}} and {{color|blue}} layers. The camera pans to a blue gradient background where a {{color|gold}} ABC logo quickly assembles itself while various geometric shapes fly around it. It then settles against an {{color|orange}} gradient with more dust in the background.

'''Visuals:''' On a silver background, we see the metal text "AMERICA'S WATCHING!" moving in from the right, with another, larger version of the text in {{color|darkviolet|purple}} and {{color|blue}} moving behind it. Then the screen explodes to reveal a silver disc on a dark background. Then the "abc" wordmark in {{color|blue}} zooms in front of the camera as beams of light pull it onto the disc. It passes through another disc and turns white as the camera reveals the slogan from before (now in {{color|gold}}) also sitting on the back disc. When it settles in its proper place, more beams of light shine from behind the logo.

When the logo positions itself, a “ripple-in-the-water” effect is seen, and the slogan "America's Broadcasting Company" fades in below.

When it forms, the words "'''AMERICA'S BROADCASTING COMPANY'''" appear word-by-word below and the disc then shines.

*'''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.

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}} 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.

'''Visuals:''' On a dark gray background, we see a {{color|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.
