2nd Logo (1974-2001)

Logo: Over the last shot of the show, we see the print ABC logo of the time with "ABC-TV" above. A copyright notice is often shown below.

  • In later years, the text was changed to "Produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation" set above the logo.
  • There is a still variant in which the text reads "ABC TELEVISION" instead of "ABC".
