Background
The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is a television network, owned by Disney since 1996. They are not directly involved in game development, but Disney uses the logo on ABC-based licenses.
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 to Touchstone Television.
FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Seen on Alias.
2nd Logo (October 5, 2006)
Logo: A curve runs around the ABC logo, which is colored brown. The logo then fades out.
Trivia: This logo is based on ABC's 2006-07 ident.
FX/SFX: The curve running.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on Desperate Housewives.
3rd Logo (October 23, 2007-June 22, 2010)
Nicknames: "Boring ABC Logo", "Pre-Start Here" 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.

4th Logo (February 26, 2008-June 22, 2010)
Nickname: "Start Here"
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 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.
FX/SFX: The whole logo in CGI.
Music/Sounds: Several synth jingles and tapping sounds at the background, then the ABC jingle with a voice saying "Anytime. Anywhere. ABC. Start Here" (or simply "ABC. Start Here").
Availability: Appears on Lost: Via Domus, Grey's Anatomy and Wipeout: The Game.
5th Logo (October 11, 2011)
Nickname: "Start Here II"
Logo: The same water-rotating action as in the previous logo, but with some brown color tone. The background looks different here and the final result includes the ABC shield only.
