'''Editor's Note:''' None.

=== 3rd (known) ID (1953-1957) ===
[[File:Abc1953slide.png|300px|center]]
'''Nicknames:''' "ABC Eagle"

'''ID:''' A weird-looking eagle with a bolt through its head, and the text "ABC" is at the bottom where the feathers are sticking out.

'''Variant:'''
*An animated variant exists, where the logo is dark at first, but it brightens up on the second after it, showing the final product.
*Another animated variant has the ABC text zoom in surrounded by a star shape which continues to zoom until it goes beyond the circle and is no longer visible, leaving jkust the text in the circle

'''FX/SFX:''' None in the regular variant. The other variant has brightened.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An announcer says "This is ABC Television Network.".

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Can be found on ABC releases from that time. It has recently been spotted on a Disney+ print on an episode of ''The Mickey Mouse Club''.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

=== 4rd ID (1957-1963) ===
[[File:99FA049D-CF44-428E-A8FC-1B0A77E1F467.png|300px|center]]

'''FX/SFX:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An announcer says "This has been an ABC Television Network Presentation.".

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Seen on a Digiview DVD of a public domain episode of ''The Lawrence Welk Show''.

=== 5th ID (1963-1969) ===
[[File:ABC_In_Living_Color_(1960s).PNG.png|300px|center]]

'''Nickname:''' "Froot Loops"

'''ID:''' Against a black background, six circles come in from the left, colored {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|lightpink|pink}}, {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}}, {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, {{Font color|limegreen|green}}, and {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}. They all disappear off to the right except the {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{Font color|limegreen|green}}, which transform into an "{{Font color|red|'''a'''}}", "{{Font color|dodgerblue|'''b'''}}", and "{{Font color|limegreen|'''c'''}}", respectively, and in the corporate font used for the network. The letters then zoom out a bit and the black area shrinks to a circle, forming the ABC logo against a {{Font color|navajowhite|beige}} background.

'''Variants:''' There are two unique variants, both of which are used in ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''.
* In the special, ''Intermission Accomplished: A Tribute to Trump'', the American flag was shown and the colors of the letters were changed to {{Font color|red|red}}, {{Font color|white|white}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} to match the American colors. Furthermore, the aspect ratio was shifted from 4:3 to 16:9 to show the flag.
* Starting in late September 2020, upon the show returning to the studio, the logo was recreated in a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the "abc" letters are thinner. It was later changed to a still version of the finished logo with the line "live in front of no studio audience", later changed to "live in front of a vaccinated studio audience" in May 2021, with the studio audience being returned. This is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

'''Trivia:''' The ABC logo was designed by Paul Rand (1914-1996), who is better known for designing the logos for IBM and Westinghouse, among others.

'''FX/SFX:''' All 2D animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic horn fanfare, coupled with a man saying "This is an ABC color presentation.". Sometimes, the announcer is not used.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* There was an earlier version that used an orchestral string fanfare and no announcer.
* Another version was used, which was a news theme-like orchestra fanfare, with an uplifting finish. This was seen on ''The Bullwinkle Show''.
* In the ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' special, ''Intermission Accomplished: A Tribute to Trump'', it added "...in dazzling red, white and blue." to the line.
* The opening theme of ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' was used, starting in late September 2020, when the show uses the still version of the finished logo.

'''Availability:''' Near extinction. This appeared before network broadcasts of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'', ''The Flintstones'', ''The Jetsons'', ''Bewitched'', and other color programs ABC aired in the Sixties. The earlier music variant may have been seen on at least one episode of ''The Bugs Bunny Show''. It also made a suprise appearence on a 2009 rebroadcast of a 1968 episode of ''The Lawrence Welk Show''. Strangely, this is left intact at the beginning of some episodes of ''The Baron'' on DVD, in place of the ITC logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' The first half of the logo is animated quite smoothly, but the second half with the zoom-out of the logo is somewhat rough. Also, the string variant's music is very poorly played. Despite that, this logo is a favorite of many.

{{YouTube|id=wNmHkSCQyJE|id2=KZbbbhvSNrM}}
'''ID:''' Pretty much, a still of the ABC logo with some trails.

'''FX/SFX:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.

'''Availability:''' Extinct.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

===7th Logo (1970)===
[[File:9433059D-79DA-4921-88D4-559A3CA5DE75.jpg|300px|center]]
'''Nickname:''' "Oscars on ABC"

'''Logo:''' A still Image of an Oscar award which is shining, on a red background. Next to the Oscar award is "Academy Awards" in white, and underneath it is the ABC logo at the time.

'''FX/SFX:''' None, unless you count the fade-out.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A male announcer saying "Marcus Welby MD and The Dick Cavett Show will not be seen tonight so, that we may bring you to live color coverage of the 42nd Annual Awards of the 'Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences"

'''Availability:''' Extinct, as this was a special ID for the 42nd Oscars. Can be seen on the official Oscars channel on Youtube.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Logo:''' On a brown background, we see several yellow lines appearing, forming a yellow grid. The grid turns red as the grid's squares morph into circles. The circles then converge into a single circle, which flips into the "ABC" wordmark in white, which zooms in. The background turns black as this happens.

'''FX/SFX:''' All Scanimate animation done by Computer Animation Industries.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized warbling theme as the logo forms, followed by a droning tune when the wordmark zooms in.

'''Availability:''' This logo was never used. It was found on a demo reel for Computer Animation Industries.

'''Editor's Note:''' The animation at the beginning and the music can creep some people out. Not to mention, the logo's dark. But the droning tune can be a bit groovy to a few people. It's also not surprising why it's never used, as the logo doesn't fit for the company. It's also one of the 3 logos never used by Computer Animation Industries.

=== 10th ID (1974) ===
[[File:Abc1974_a.jpg|300px|center]]
{{YouTube|id=TmGCaroa93k}}

'''ID:''' We see an array of clips from ABC shows of the period, all in a black background. Then, the music starts, and the clips disappear, one by one, in rhythm with the music. Then the words:

<div style="text-align: center;">'''What You See'''</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">'''On ABC This Fall'''</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">'''You'll Be Talking About'''</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Tomorrow!'''</div>

in white zoom in. Then, it fades out, and see a {{Font color|chocolate|burnt orange}} ABC circle with "ABC" in the corporate font. The circle has an {{Font color|gold|orange-yellow}} glow.

'''Variant:''' The logo described is the main logo, but this logo is used for promos of shows from the period as well.

'''FX/SFX:''' The clips disappearing, the text zooming in and fading out, the logo fading in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' One clip has audio, which is heard before the music starts. The music itself includes, in the beginning, a 7-note bass playing with a 7-note trumpet that starts at the third bass note and is at a faster pace. Then, groovy music plays, as a choir sings "What you see on ABC this fall you'll be talking about", then a man finishes the slogan saying "Tomorrow!". The choir then sings that same line and holds it for a bit.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was only seen on ABC in Fall 1974.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Nickname:''' "Welcome to the Bright New World of ABC"

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the word "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''WELCOME'''}}" zooms in and hits the screen 3 times. Then the slogan, "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''WELCOME TO THE BRIGHT NEW WORLD OF ABC'''}}" scrolls up. Before it ends, it cross-fades into a {{Font color|blue|blue}}-{{Font color|red|red}} lined floor where in the distance, the ABC logo in {{Font color|orange|orange}} lifts up from behind the floor and goes into place in mid-air.

'''Variant:''' There's a version where the logo is still. This was mainly used as a secondary ident.

'''FX/SFX:''' The text and ABC logo rising up. The effects were pretty nifty for 1975, but it was starting to become mainstream to see glints and glows everywhere at around this time. Cel animation by Robert Abel and Associates.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The campaign's song "Welcome to the Bright New World on ABC."

'''Availability:''' Extinct, as it was only used as a station ID. However, it made an appearance during the opening montage of the 40th-anniversary special.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Nickname:''' "Let Us Be The One!", "Let Us Be The One You Turn To!"

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a small group of sparkles moving around in different directions until they form the worlds "''' LET US BE THE ONE!'''" (tilted at an angle). A {{Font color|deeppink|pink}} glow flashes behind the words as they continuously zoom closer and fill the screen. Then we cut to a chrome ABC logo glowing {{Font color|blue|blue}}, with the ABC letters shining as it slowly zooms out.

'''Trivia:''' The animation was done by Robert Abel and Associates.

'''Variants:'''
*A version was made for Nine in Australia. In this version, the Nine logo replaces the ABC logo.
*An alternate version was also made for Nine in Australia in which the network's "nine dots" logo replaces the Nine logos.
*A still version was also used as an alternate ID and for closed-circuit broadcasts. Sometimes the glow around the ABC logo would be smaller and darker.

'''Custom Local Variants:'''

In addition, program titles like "Hollywood Squares", "Match Game P.M.", "The Gong Show", and "Let's Make A Deal" would be featured in the same sparkling animation as the "LET US BE THE ONE!" text. An alternate version has the standard ABC logo with a byline below with "KABC-TV" on the left, the station's logo in the middle, and "LOS ANGELES" on the right.
*'''WLS-TV 7 (Chicago, Illinois):''' There's a byline with "WLS-TV CHICAGO" on the left, and the station's logo on the right.

'''FX/SFX:''' The sparkles forming the text, followed by the shining of the ABC logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The campaign's song "Let Us Be The One", which is based on the song "Let Me Be The One" by The Carpenters.

'''Availability:''' Extinct, as it was only used as a station ID.

'''Editor's Note:''' The sparkling, glowing, and shimmering effects (although primitive by modern standards) were state-of-the-art for their time, and certainly has that "disco era" feel.

'''Nickname:''' "Still The One"

'''Logo:'''
*Opening: On a black background, sparkles come down from the top-right to the bottom-left of the screen. After they almost disappear, the ABC logo, with the font in {{Font color|gold|gold}} and the circle styled like a bubble, zooms in while sparkling.
*Closing: The same animation from the opening plays, minus the sparkles coming down, but after it's done zooming in, the sparkles come down again and the ABC logo glows and shines while the words "'''STILL THE ONE!'''" zooms down right beside the ABC logo. The camera then zooms closer to the ABC logo and the entire thing cuts to black.

'''Variants:'''
*A version was made for [[Nine Network National IDs (Australia)|Nine]] in Australia. In this version, the Nine logo replaces the ABC logo.
*An alternate version was also made for Nine in Australia in which the network's "nine dots" logo replaces the Nine logos. After it's done zooming in, the bubble glows and shines and the "nine dots" logo fades into the Nine logo. The ball's glow fades away and the Nine logo fades back into the "nine dots" logo.
*A still version was also made in which the logo is slightly larger, doesn't shine, and is a little darker. This variant was used for closed-circuit broadcasts.

'''Nickname:''' "We're The One"

'''Logo:''' Over a starry night sky, a multitude of streaks pass by as a rainbow-like rectangular box with streaks pass from left to right. In the box is the slogan "We're The One" in a typical 70's font. When it gets up-close, the rectangular box fades out while the words pass by. It then fades into a rainbow-colored background with lines circling it. Then a starry swirl zooms in which leads to a circle where explosions happen to show the familiar ABC logo with a spinning rainbow circling it. During this, more streaks pass by.

'''Variants:'''
*There's a version without the spinning rainbow.
*A version was made for Nine in Australia. In this version, the familiar multitude of streaks pass by, but this time, it's on a black background. Then a flash appears where the slogan "We're The One" now zooms out in a golden texture and a white circle appears. The starry swirl then appears. After the swirl passes, there's a white flash where it fades into the Nine logo's dots inside a red circle. It then fades into the "9" while streaks pass by.
*A version was also made for Canal Trece (now El Trece) in Argentina. In this version, streaks pass by again, but this time, it is on a different night sky. Then a flash appears and suddenly, the logo cuts to the starry swirl instead leading to an explosion showing the stylized "13" with no circle whatsoever while streaks pass by. After that, the words "Transmite LS 85 TV Canal 13 Buenos Aires" wipe in below the "13".
*A version was used on a 1979 closed-circuit feed where the background was black, the spinning rainbow was gone, the logo was still, and the words "CLOSED CIRCUIT" were right below the logo.
*Two still variants of this ident were made for closed-circuit broadcasts as well as TV station sign-offs, one in which the background is black, but the spinning rainbow is left intact and another in which the background is still black, but the spinning rainbow is gone.
*There is another version of the animated generic ID in which the words "ABC" are nowhere to be seen. This version was mostly used for either promo advertising ABC's programming (for example, "MONDAY", "WEDNESDAY", etc). However, this version was also used for ABC stations to place their logo or channel number when needed.

'''Custom Local Variants:'''
*'''WEWS-TV 5 (Cleveland, Ohio):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo. Another variant has a byline with the 5 logos on the left and the words "WEWS-CLEVELAND" on the right.
*'''WJLA-TV 7 (Washington, D.C.):''' There's a byline with the words "WJLA-TV" on the left and "Washington, D.C." on the right with the station's logo sandwiched in-between.
*'''WABC-TV 7 (New York, New York), KABC-TV 7 (Los Angeles, California), WXYZ-TV 7 (Detroit, Michigan), and KVII-TV 7 (Amarillo, Texas):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo. Also, the spinning rainbow is now {{Font color|deepskyblue|a light shade of blue}}.
*'''KBTV-TV 9 (Denver, Colorado; now known as KUSA-TV and now an NBC affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo. Another variant has a byline with "9" on the right and the words "KBTVDenver" in a box on the right.
*'''KMSP-TV 9 (Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota; now a FOX affiliate):''' There's a byline with the words "keep" stacked above the words "MINNEAPOLIS" and "ST. PAUL" on the left and the station's logo on the right.
*'''WFTV-TV 9 (Orlando, Florida):''' There's a logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen with "WFTV" on the top, the station's logo in the middle, and "Orlando" on the bottom.
*'''WISN-TV 12 (Milwaukee, Wisconsin):''' There's a byline with the station's logo on the left and the words "WISN TV" on top and "MILWAUKEE" on the bottom, on the right.
*'''WJRT-TV 12 (Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, Michigan):''' There's a byline with the words "WJRT-TV Channel 12" on top and "Flint-Saginaw-Bay City" on the bottom.
*'''WOKR-TV 13 (Rochester, New York; now known as WHAM-TV):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.
*'''WHBQ-TV 13 (Memphis, Tennessee; now a FOX affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.
*'''WJZ-TV 13 (Baltimore, Maryland; now a CBS affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "WJZ-TV" on the left and "BALTIMORE" on the right with the Westinghouse Broadcasting logo sandwiched in-between (since the station was owned by the Westinghouse Electric Company at the time).
*'''KXIX-TV 19 (Victoria, Texas):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo and there's a byline with the words "KXIX-TV" on top and "VICTORIA, TEXAS" on the bottom.
*''' KSEE-TV 47 (Fresno, California; now known as KGPE-TV and now a CBS affiliate):''' The station's logo replaces the ABC logo.

'''FX/SFX:''' The streaks passing by and the rainbow circling the ABC logo. Cel animation by Sullivan and Marks.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The campaign's song "We're The One," which is based on "You're The One" by Glen Campbell or silent. The Nine variant has an instrumental version of the song. The Canal 13 Argentina variant instead has a sampling of the track "World Champion" by Keith Mansfield with a Spanish announcer saying "LS 85 Television Canal 13, Buenos Aires".

'''Availability:''' Extinct, as it was only used as a station ID. However, the generic ABC ID made a guest appearance on the opening montage of ABC's 40th anniversary special in 1993, as well as a TGIF promo from 1999.

'''Editor's Note:''' The starry background and starry swirl may startle a few. However, it's a favorite of many for those who feel nostalgic about it.

Nicknames: "Colored Dots" "Falling Dots"

'''ID:''' As the ABC logos forms in the middle, a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} circle drops down behind the ABC logo and fills the rest of the screen. After this, a {{Font color|red|red}} circle drops down in front of the ABC logo and covers the screen including the ABC logo. Also after the {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} circle drops, a shadow turns clockwise and zooms out revealing that it is the ABC text in the signature font. After {{Font color|limegreen|green}}, {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{Font color|orange|orange}} circles drop down in tune with the beat, a black circle drops down. Once it hits the middle, a white shine appears. This white shine focuses and reveals to be the ABC logo, whilst the black circle fills the screen. Once the ABC logo is done forming, another green circle appears, drops down behind the ABC logo, and fills the screen. With this, the words "''' America's Broadcasting Company'''" appear in white. The logo stays on screen, while the {{Font color|limegreen|green}} BG lights up in certain places.
'''Variant:''' The ID is sometimes shortened.
'''FX/SFX:''' The circles, the ABC logo, and the background. Good CGI by Troika Design Group.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The ABC theme, but dramatized and an extra note at the beginning. This gets shortened to the 2nd note on the shortened variant. Composed by Tonal Sound.
'''Availability:''' Extinct. Was only seen around this time, and can be seen if one has a recording (VHS, DVD, etc.) from ABC at this time.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo design was used for the ABC Entertainment logo for programs around this time.

'''Editor's Note:''' Amazing CGI animation for the late 2000s. This was used as a template (and concept) for both the [[ABC Entertainment]] logos from 2007 to 2012 and the [[ABC Studios]] logos from 2007-2013.

'''Nicknames:''' "The New ABC", "ABC Glass II"

'''Logo:''' We start with the letters "'''ABC''" in its characteristic trademarked font suddenly appearing on the screen. They zoom out, revealing the rest of the 2013 ABC logo. As it zooms out, slowly decelerating, the light shining on it, in a similar shade to the background of the previous logo, becomes slightly darker. When the logo fills about half of the screen, the background fades to black, with continuous glowing around the logo. The logo slowly zooms out.

'''FX/SFX:''' The zooming out, and the changing of the light. Awesome CGI by Loyalkaspar.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous ID, but the ABC jingle is absent. This is basically the last note of the 2007-2012 ABC Entertainment logos.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' Sometimes, a male voice-over would say "ABC".

'''Logo:''' On a dark gray background, we see a {{Font color|red|red}} circle, with three smaller black ones inside. The three circles zoom out one after the other, with the first one already formed as “A”. The circles zoom back up sequentially, while morphing into their respective letters, forming “ABC”. with "ORIGINAL" also in red beside the ABC logo. As that is happening, spinning black/dark blue gradient circles fade in behind the logo.

Background

The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is an American multinational commercial broadcast television network that is a flagship property of Walt Disney Television. Launched in 1927 as the NBC-operated radio network NBC Blue Network, and after it became an independent radio network in 1945, it extended its operations to television in 1948, following in the footsteps of CBS and NBC. ABC has eight owned-and-operated and over 232 affiliated television stations throughout the United States and its territories. Some ABC-affiliated stations can also be seen in Canada via pay-television providers.
