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

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|#00ff9d|green-blue aurora}} background with white lines trailing around, there is a black disc in the center. The letters "'''a'''", "'''b'''", and "'''c'''" write themselves on the disc with the white lines to make the finished logo. 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 (for ideos on iPhone), an iPod/mp3 player (for videos on iPod devices), a computer (for the videos on the ABC website), and a TV (for Live TV)). When the set shows us every picture, it compresses into a single circle with an arrow (for [[ABC On Demand|On Demand]]), 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.

*'''Short Version:''' On the same gradient background as before, the ABC logo appears tilted to the side, covered in water. The water is raised from the top of the screen, as the logo is revealed, taking its comfortable position. As this happens, a 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 brown background, several yellow lines appear, 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.
