Behind it, a yellow circle drops down and zooms in to fills the rest of the screen. After this, a 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 its signature font. Afterwards, green, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} and 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 green background. | ||

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