Logo descriptions by Silversword55 and AsdfTheRevival
Logo captures by Eric S., Silversword55, and AsdfTheRevival
Video captures courtesy of JohnnyL80 and others
Background: ABC Studios was originally formed as Touchstone Television, which was then renamed as ABC Television Studio in February 2007 before being renamed again to its current name in May 2007.
1st Logo
(May-September 2007)
Logo: On a white background, the text "studios" in the same font as the ABC logo, with a shadow effect rises up from the middle of the screen. On the left of the text, a black ABC circle fades in.
FX/SFX: The circle and text appearing.
Music/Sounds: None.Nothing but complete and utter silence.
Availability: Rare. Appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, Season 2 of Kyle XY on ABC Family, and some ABC summer programs in 2007.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(September 24, 2007- )
Logo: On a white/silver background, we see silhouettes of people working, carrying ladders, camera etc. as if they were working on a studio. then we rapidly zoom to a lens of a camera, which overtakes the screen, then we see the ABC logo, in 3D, with "studios" next to it, in a dark background, similar to the "ABC Start Here" graphics from the 2007 fall season.
Trivia: The whole logo appears to be a throwback to the classic "An ABC Presentation" camera logo.
FX/SFX: The people moving around and the 3-D ABC logo shining.
Music/Sounds: A bass drum "boom" sound is heard, then an uplifting, five-note orchestration, mixed with twinkle (the first four notes are the ABC jingle from 1998-present). Rarely heard, however, as ABC either places its own generic music or the closing theme on the logo.
Music/Sounds Variant: There is a longer version of the theme.
Availability: It's on just about any show produced by ABC (i.e. Desperate Housewives, Scrubs etc.). It can also be seen on Criminal Minds and Ghost Whisperer on CBS, and other ex-Touchstone shows. A shorter widescreen version is currently seen on S2 of Dirt on FX. The version with the music can be seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC (some stations, like KMGH in Denver, cut off the logo before it's over) and Legend of the Seeker in syndication.
Scare Factor: Low to medium, on account due to the fast-paced action in the logo.
