*'''February 26, 2008-June 22, 2010:''' In a white room with grey smoke lingering around it, a shiny black play button is seen in the center of the screen, quickly splitting into 4 circles with a iPod, TV, laptop, and phone (from the farther back clockwise) surrounded by a revolving red ribbon.

The play button then grows in size and rotates around to reveal the ABC text, forming the 2007 ABC logo, as bubbles and a red ribbon appear from behind it. A translucent arrow then wipes in "'''start here'''" to the right of the logo and then disappears.

The button zooms out while rotating to face the screen, before quickly splitting into the 4 images in different positions to before, surrounded by red and gold ribbons. The buttons then merge back into the play button and the ABC logo forms the same way, but with no "'''start here'''" and additional bubbles surrounding it.
*'''September 25, 2012:''' Same as the previous version, but with a golden background with lighter-colored streaks flowing around. When the logo forms a orange streak flies around it, releasing more bubbles.
