1st Logo (April 7-June 17, 2004)

Logo: The still ABC logo is seen along with Buena Vista Interactive's logo with a copyright stamp for Touchstone Television.

Technique: None.

2nd Logo (October 5, 2006)

Logo: We see the ABC logo, which is colored brown, with a curve running around it. The logo then fades out.

Trivia: This logo is based on ABC's 2006-07 ident.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None.

3rd Logo (October 23, 2007-June 22, 2010)

Logo: Just the 2007 ABC logo on a background, which varies by game:

On Wipeout: The Game for Nintendo DS, the background is black.
On the Dancing with the Stars video game, the background is white. The ABC logo is smaller in this variant.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Wipeout: The Game for Nintendo DS. The white background variant appears on Dancing with the Stars.

4th Logo (February 26, 2008-June 22, 2010)

Logo: On a bright gray surface, a selection set emerges and rotates. It contains four ABC circles, each with a different device inside (two portables, a computer, and a TV). When the set shows us every picture, it compresses into a single circle with an arrow, which immediately reverts to the ABC logo. Water drops appear around, and the words "start here" are drawn to the right.

Trivia: This logo is based on the 2007-2008 ABC ident, created by Troika Design Group.

Variants:

A still print version is seen on Grey's Anatomy for NDS.
On Wipeout: The Game, the beginning part is cut off.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Several synth jingles and tapping sounds at the background, then the ABC jingle with a male voice saying "Anytime. Anywhere. ABC. Start Here". On Wipeout: The Game the very end of the beginning is heard somehow, and he just says "ABC. Start Here".

Availability: Appears on Lost: Via Domus, Grey's Anatomy and Wipeout: The Game.
