ABC Entertainment

1st Logo (1953-1982)

Logo: We see some in-credit text that reads:

This has been an
ABC Television
Network
Presentation

Variant: Some shows would just simply say "An ABC Production", "an ABC TELEVISION NETWORK production", "(This has been) An ABC TELEVISION NETWORK PRESENTATION", [Name of series] IS AN ABC NETWORK TELEVISION (NETWORK) PRESENTATION", (This has been) a [Name of production company] in association with the American Broadcasting Company, or [Name of series] is a [name of production company] in association with the American Broadcasting Company.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The end title theme from any show or silent, with or without a male announcer saying either the following:

"This has been an ABC Television Network (film) presentation".
"[Name of series] is a [name of production company] in association with the American Broadcasting Company."

Availability: Rare. This was seen on a lot of original prints of shows such as The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, and Top Cat, among other shows. Not even DVD releases have this. This logo appeared at the end of two episodes of The Donna Reed Show on Me-TV sometime in July 2014. Also seen at the end of a few prints of the recent reruns of The Untouchables on H&I (Heroes and Icons). It is intact on most season 4 episodes of Naked City on Tubi.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1982-2001)

Logo: It's just some in-credit text saying:

An ABC Entertainment
Production

Sometimes it says: "ABC Entertainment Productions" or "ABC Entertainment Production" with the ABC copyright stamp and the phrase "In cooperation with", "In association with", or "A Production of".

FX/SFX: None or scrolling in the credits.

Nicknames: "Aqua ABC II", "Start Here II", "ABC Glass II"

Logo: On a white background, we see the ABC logo tilted at its side. Then it spins around and zooms back to face the viewer. As this happens, a red ribbon quickly flies by. "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" fades in at the bottom of the screen.

Variant: Starting in 2009, a slightly different long version was also used. In this version we get an extreme close-up of the ABC logo, then the logo quickly spins to the middle of the screen to face the viewer. There is no ribbon in this version.

FX/SFX: Amazing CGI!

Music/Sounds: Same as the last logo.

Music/Sounds Variant: Starting in 2011, some sparkling and whooshing sound merged with the last part of the previous logo's theme. Plus, the ABC theme is absent.

12th Logo (October 7, 2012-May 19, 2013)

<youtube width=240 height=185>G5y_jPKmKUE}}

Nicknames: "Aqua ABC III", "Start Here III", "ABC Glass III"

Logo: Nearly the same as the last logo, but the background is a mixture of brown and gold, and the ABC logo is seen at the top right and is facing us at the beginning.

Variant: An odd variant of this logo was spotted on a June 17, 2017 marathon of 2012-2013 America's Funniest Home Videos episodes, on the Up network. The logo starts off at normal speed and then suddenly gets slower, with the Vin di Bona Productions logo following also slowed down. After the airings of said episodes (of which are notably not in split-screen credits like Up normally uses), the pitch of the logo got lower and lower. This might be an editing mistake on the network's part.

FX/SFX: Almost the same as the last logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Same as the last 5 logos.

Editor's Note: None.

13th Logo (October 13, 2013-May 22, 2016)

Nickname: "The New ABC", "ABC Glass IV"

Logo: We start with the letters "abc" in its characteristic trademarked font suddenly appearing on the screen. They zoom out, revealing the rest of the 2013 ABC logo. As it zooms out, slowly decelerating, the light shining on it, on a similar shade to the background of the previous logo, becomes slightly darker. When the logo fills about half of the screen, the background fades to black, with continuous glowing around the logo. Just before this happens, the text "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" fades on the bottom third of the screen, along with the copyright stamp straight under it.

FX/SFX: The zooming out, the changing of the light, and the fading in of the text. Awesome CGI by Loyalkaspar.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: Seen on seasons 24 (later episodes), 25, and 26 (earlier episodes) of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Editor's Note: None.

<youtube width=240 height=185>e0k1OByxvQY}}

Nicknames: "The New ABC II", "The ABC Circles", "ABC Glass V"

Logo: On a black background, two brown transparent circles fly down about two-thirds of the screen while overlapping each other and reveal the ABC logo from before zooming out a bit, ending up with the same result as before but with the two circles still on the screen. "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" fades in at the bottom of the screen. with the copyright stamp from before below that.

Trivia: This logo is based on the 2015-16 ABC rebrand.

FX/SFX: The animation, which proves to be an improvement over the last logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last three logos.

Availability: Seen on episodes from the era of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Editor's Note: None.

Nicknames: "The New ABC III", "The CGI Circle", "The New and Improved ABC", "ABC Glass VI"

Logo: On a black background, the 2013 ABC logo swings out from the right side of the screen to the center, encircled by gold dust. The dust flies away to the right as the ABC logo settles, and "ABC ENTERTAINMENT", with copyright info below, appears underneath.

Nicknames: "The Gray ABC", "ABC Glass VII"

Logo: On a large black circle on a red background, we see the ABC logo in the center. Thick and thin, white and red lines are swirling and drawing themselves around the logo, with the black circle slowly growing in size. The "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" text and the copyright stamp fade in below the logo.

FX/SFX: The lines moving around and the circle growing, simple 2D animation.
