Background: ABC Family was a (formerly) family-oriented network owned by Disney-ABC Television Group. The company announced in October 2015 that ABC Family would be renamed Freeform, which took place in January 2016.

1st Logo (2002-May 26, 2008) ABC Family (2006) Logo: On a green background, we see the ABC Family logo zooms in.

FX/SFX: The zoom-in of the logo.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Appeared on Falcon Beach and Wildfire (2005 TV series). Wildfire still uses this Logo until May 26, 2008.

Editor's Note: None.


2nd Logo (2003-2006?)

Logo: On a green background, we see a asterisk rapidly flashing black and white. It then disappears to become the ABC logo, but slightly tilted. The logo moves slightly to the left so the words "family" like before can appear one by one also tilted.

FX/SFX: The asterisk, the ABC logo, and the word "family" appearing.

Variant: On some of their TV movies, the logo is shortened to the point where the ABC logo appears on screen.

Music/Sounds: Silence, or the end theme of the show/TV movie, or a guitar theme.

Music/Sounds Variant: On This Time Around, the WildRice Productions logo's audio (which consists of birds singing and chirping) plays over this logo.

Availability: Seen on the channel's original movies and series from the period like This Time Around, and Switched! (not to be confused with one of the channel's original series Switched at Birth).

Editor's Note: None.


3rd Logo (2004-January 12, 2016)

ABC Family Original PresentationABC Family (December 11, 2011)ABC Family (2009)

Logo: There is a white background. First, we see orange lowercase words a new / kind / of / family, written letters by letter and taking four lines under each other. Then it is followed by close-up of white letters f, a, m, and the background turns orange. An ABC shield pops up and takes place with family written at the right side, and byline: "a new kind of family". There is a reflection underneath. The logo zooms out.

FX/SFX: CGI effects.

Music/Sounds: None, or an electric guitar with drums playing.

Availability: The logo with described 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.
