3rd Logo (2004-January 12, 2016)
Logo: There is a white background. First, we see the orange words "a new", "kind", "of" and "family" writing themselves in letter by letter and taking four lines under each other. Then it is followed by close-up of the white letters "f", "a" and "m", while the background turns orange. The ABC logo pops up and "family" writes itself in at the right side, along with the byline "a new kind of family". There is a reflection underneath. The logo zooms out.
FX/SFX: CGI effects.
Music/Sounds: None, or a rock theme.
Availability: The logo with the aforementioned byline appears before self-produced shows on ABC Family, such as Kyle XY, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Pretty Little Liars, and Switched at Birth. It also appears before ABC Family programming on demand. This appears on the Disney+ print of 12 Dates of Christmas.
