ID: The screen is filled with a view of an oscilloscope display. The "lissajous figure" that we see isoscillating rapidly, going from one frequency to another in quick bursts until it settles on a fixed rate.After around five seconds, the display fades into an animated representation of the slow, horizontal pattern seen before.It fades into a vertical pattern, and then fades back into the previous pattern. The animation stops at the point where the figure resembles the early version of the infamous ABC logo, and then pulls back, with the words "Australian Broadcasting Commission" (at the top) and "National Television Service" (at the bottom) appearing at once, contracting with the ID. The ID stops animating all together and zooms back until it gets to a comfortable distance.

Music/Sounds: Begins with loud,discordant,industrial noise as we see the figure wildly oscillating on the display. The noise itself is actually in sync with the rate of the frequency. As the figure settles into a slow pulse, a calmer piece played with vibraphones, guitars, and harps plays during the remainder of the logo.

ID: Well, we see the glass ABC logo turning upward against a background split into thirds that contains one of various image styles relating to Australian heritage.
* Special: We see a marble-like texture on the top and bottom rows, and in the middle row, we see a crystal-like lake effect. Once the ABC logo flips in, the lake effect fades away, leaving the middle with the same marble texture as the top and bottom rows. The word "SPECIAL" (with the same glass effect) then zooms out from the center of the screen as the ABC logo fades out. Depending on the variant, either the background fades out (with the word "SPECIAL" remaining on a black background), or the word fades out with the background.


Variants
* Bicentennial: We start off with the Australian Bicentennial logo (consisting of a green banner with two yellow lines in it shaped in the continent of Australia) on a black background. It then flips downwards, eventually turning into the ABC logo. At the same time, the same background from the 'Special' ident fades in.


    Feathers: We see white feathers in a row moving from left to right on the top and bottom rows, and in the middle row, we see a pine cone.

FX/SFX: The images and logo turning upward. Great CGI..
Music/Sounds: It normally used an gentle uplifting fanfare with a horn section, ending with six synth bell/choir notes (the last three would later become the trademark ABC jingle), and would be remixed depending on the variant. Other sounds relating to the imagery would be used, as well (The normal jingle was heard on the Leaves, Cave Painting, Snake Skin, River, Rainforest, Tide, Ashes, Desert Flower, Desert, Seashells, Skyscrapers, Wattle, Rock Pebbles, Sand and Cave IDs with the sounds intact). The Special variant was usually accompanied with an announcer.

Availability: Most of the ID's are obviously extinct. The Bush Tea ID makes a surprise appearance on ''The Best Of The Late Show Volume 3'' VHS (it was part of a joke to pretend that the show cut to a boring documentary about birds). The Bicentennial ID was also used as a home video logo for the release of From ''The Outback To The Sea - Images Of The Australian Bicentennial Year''. There are probably more ID's than the ones pictured and mentioned above.

Editor's Note: It's a favorite of some people, especially those in Australia. Sometimes, the ABC logo is not centered right.
