'''Nicknames:''' "Atom", "Earth Globe"


'''ID:''' On a dark, hazy background representing space, we see a rotating globe of the earth a la Universal Pictures. Points of light (seen as small dots) begin to encircle the globe like the electrons of an atom, leaving lines behind them. As the trails are completed, a TV-tube shape with the letters "ABC" suddenly appears over the globe. After a few seconds, the shape splits into three,the first shape containing" A", the middle "B" and the last "C".

'''Nicknames:''' "Oscilloscope","Early Lissajous Figure","Lissajous Figure of Doom"


'''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.


'''FX/SFX:''' The view of the oscilloscope, the animations of the oscilloscope, the company name appearing and the "zoom-out".


3rd (known) ID (1968-early 70's)
'''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: On a black background with many yellow lights, we take many close-ups on the ABC logo. Then, the familiar ABC logo, without the "over and under" design (seen on many of the previous ID's), zooms out tumbling, then, "The National Broadcaster" fades in below. Later, three stars appears one-by-one on the logo in sync with the jingle. Sometimes, the ABC website may fade in below the text.

'''Nicknames:''' "Celebrating 50 Years of Television...", "An ID within an ID", "The ABC Time Machine", "Meta-ID"


18th ID
'''ID:''' We start off with the ABC logo zooming in and morphing into a screen which then shows an ID used by the ABC in the past. Near the end of the ID shown, the video zooms off to the left at an angle. The top of the newer ABC logo then slides from the right side of the screen and stops near the middle. The text "Celebrating 50 Years of Television..." and "Circa 19x0s" (the third digit varies depending on what decade the ID shown was from), then appears letter by letter from the left side of the screen.
