'''Trivia:'''
* The whole logo appears to be a throwback to the 1962 "An ABC Presentation" camera logo.
* At the beginning of the logo, the numbers 4, 8, 15, and 16 appear on the clapper, then the last two change to 23 and 42. These are the recurring numbers from ''Lost''. The numbers were also spotted in the September 15-21, 2008 issue of TV Guide Magazine. Plus, you can see the words "WISTERIA LANE" on the bottom of the camera crane, which is a reference to the fictional street from ''Desperate Housewives''.
* If you look closely at the camera as it moves towards the screen, the film roll attached at the top appears to have a [[Touchstone Pictures|Touchstone]] thunderbolt on it, likely due to the camera equipment not having had its branding updated to reflect the then-new name and logo at the time that segment was recorded. This is more evident in higher quality copies of the logo.

* Rarely, the {{color|blue}} streak is absent. This was seen on the ''Empire State'' unaired pilot.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEzE4H1O-DI&pp=ygUSZW1waXJlIHN0YXRlIHBpbG90</ref>

'''Audio:''' A bass drum "boom" heard simultaneously with the clapperboard, then an uplifting, 5-note orchestration, mixed with chimes. This was composed by John Debney. The first four notes are from the ABC jingle that been used between 1998 and 2021.

In February 2007, Touchstone Television was renamed to ABC Television Studio, which was renamed again to ABC Studios in May of that same year; however from 2007 to 2009, Touchstone Television survived as an in-name-only unit of ABC Studios until the conclusion of the final season of Monk. On August 10, 2020, the company was folded into ABC Signature as part of a restructuring.

1st Logo (placeholder logo) (April 27, 2007-2008) | 2nd Logo (September 24, 2007-March 18, 2014) | 3rd Logo (September 23, 2013-November 30, 2020) | 4th Logo (September 29, 2013-2020) |
Visuals: On a white background, a black ABC circle (in the 1988-2007 style) irises in on the left with the text "studios" in the same font as the logo, as a shadow effect rises up from the middle of the screen on the right side of the logo.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: None or the closing theme of the show.
Availability: Appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, season 2 of Kyle XY, and some ABC summer programs in 2007. Also seen on the failed pilots of The News, See Jayne Run, Making It Legal, The Owners and an untitled Victoria Pile project, as well as the unaired pilot of Cane.
Visuals: On a white/silver background, there is silhouettes of people working in a studio, carrying ladders, cameras, etc. As one of them strikes a clapperboard, we rapidly zoom past the workers into the lens of a camera, which overtakes the screen. There we see the ABC logo, in 3D with a glossy texture, with "studios" next to it, in a dark background with a small blue streak passing by, similar to the "Start Here" graphics from the 2007 fall season.
Trivia:
Variants:
Technique: Likely live-action combined with lighting effects, followed by CGI as the logo appears. The live-action segment and the CGI were directed by Chad Sahley and his production company Hieroglyphic Productions, a frequent collaborator with Disney. The animation for Bolt in this variant is animated by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Audio: A bass drum "boom" heard simultaneously with the clapperboard, then an uplifting, 5-note orchestration, mixed with chimes. This was composed by John Debney. The first four notes are from the ABC jingle that been used between 1998 and 2021.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: A pale yellow spotlight fades in, moving towards the top-right of the screen. It flashes brightly for a moment, and some of its light morphs into the 2013 ABC logo and the word "studios", now in a different font (set in ABC's custom typeface, ABC Modern), written next to it. The word and logo shine and zoom in, as the spotlight continues to move towards the corner, gradually fading out.
Variants:
Technique: CGI from Loyalkaspar.
Audio: A light 6-note synthesized glockenspiel tune, ending in a majestic note with deep strings and drum beats (sounds similar to the previous logo), composed by Fil Eisler.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: There is the ABC logo (in gray tones) zooming out to the left part of the screen, showing the word "studios" with a flash below (which gradually disappears) on a gray background with a glow.
Variants:
Technique: Computer animation from Loyalkaspar.
Audio: None or the end theme of the show.
Audio Variant: On Amazon Prime prints of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy, a PAL-pitched version of the 3rd logo's theme is used.
Availability: So far, seen at the beginning of international prints of ABC shows such as Once Upon a Time, as well as on some international airings of Disney theatrical films such as Ed Wood and Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989). The still version can be seen on Hello Ladies.
