'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, six circles come in from the left, colored red, {{color|lightpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, green, and yellow. They all disappear off to the right except the red, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and 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.

'''Trivia:''' The ABC logo was designed by {{w|Paul Rand}} (1914-1996), who is also known for creating the logos of IBM, Westinghouse and UPS, among others.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the words "YOU AND ME" in a style of a flashing sign appear in a sliding effect with shimmering red and {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} lines all across the screen. Then it zooms in and cross-fades into a line of stars with two lines of text reading "ABC" on the top and bottom respectively. It then zooms out the reveal the ABC logo with red lines going across the logo and {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} lines going down it. When the logo gets into place, a {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}/red border zooms out into place. The circle of the logo continues to spin when the logo finishes.

'''Variant:''' There's a version where the background is black. This, in particular, was only used for closed circuit broadcasts, which, according to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, is "a television transmission system in which live or prerecorded signals are sent over a closed loop to a finite and predetermined group of receivers, either via coaxial cable or as scrambled radio waves that are unscrambled at the point of reception."

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, orange stars shoot in from the top of the screen which make the words "COME", "ON" and "ALONG" appear one by one. The camera rotates to the left as a red streak comes down which reads out "ABC" and hits the three O's. A burst of stars form a {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} neon background where the circle of the ABC logo in black with red emitting from the bottom of the circle fades in while the ABC text comes down and lands on the circle.

'''Visuals:''' The ABC logo forms in the center of the screen. 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.

'''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.
