1st Logo
(1982-1989)



Logo: It's just an in-credit disclaimer saying:

Sometimes it says: "ABC Entertainment Productions" or "ABC Entertainment Production" with the ABC copyright stamp and the phrase "In cooperation with" or "In association with".

SFX: None, it's superimposed or scrolling in the credits.

Music: The end title theme from any show.

Availability: Was seen on early seasons of America's Funniest Home Videos when it was reran on Nick @ Nite. Currently on The Littles on DVD.

Scare Factor: None.



2nd Logo
(2001-2002)

Nickname: TBA

Logo: Over a black background, we see several yellow circles zooming forth, eventually seguing into a yellow ABC logo zooming in. "Entertainment" appears below, along with a copyright byline.

FX: All the animation.

Music: A hip-hop version of the four-note ABC jingle.

Availability: Seen on reruns of "America's Funniest Home Videos" on Superstation WGN.

Scare Factor: None.



3rd Logo
(2003-2004)

Nicknames: "The Forming ABC", "The ABC Ripple"

Logo: We have the black ABC circle with the letters "abc" in its usual font forming on the circle. The circle backs away to the center of a blue background when we later see the word "Entertainment" and the ABC, Inc. copyright stamp fading in below. From behind the circle logo we see the letters "abc" forming a ripple from small to large letters.

Trivia: This logo was based off the on-air ident ABC had in 2002.

SFX: The letters forming.

Music: A piano-orchestra version of the ABC fanfare (last notes only).

Availability: Can be seen on AFV reruns on ABC Family. This was also used to plaster the ABC Productions logo on the Bob Saget episodes of the show.

Scare Factor: None to low, due to the fact that this precedes the Vin Di Bona logo (whose music is well-known for being eerie).



4th Logo
(2004-2006)

Nickname: “Red Squares”

Logo: On a background of nine red squares, a light brings in the ABC logo from the right. When the logo positions itself, a “ripple-in-the-water” effect is seen, and “America’s Broadcasting Company” fades in. The text letters slide away.

SFX/Cheesy Factor: Needless to say, not much!

Music: A fanfare version of the ABC fanfare (last notes only)

Availability: Seen on some reran episodes of America’s Funniest Home Videos on Superstation WGN.

Scare Factor: None, it’s a neat logo.

Nickname: TBA

Logo: TBA

FX: TBA

Music: TBA

Availability: Only seen on America's Funniest Home Videos.

6th Logo
(2007-)

Nicknames: "Aqua ABC", "Start Here".

Logo: On a white background, we see the ABC logo covered in water. The water is raised from the top of the screen, as the logo is revealed. "ABC Entertainment" fades in the bottom of the screen.

Trivia: The ABC Entertainment logos usually look like the ABC on-air idents

Scare Factor: Low.
