Nicknames: "You and Me," "You and Me and ABC"

Logo: On a black background, the words "YOU AND ME" in a style of a flashing sign appears in a sliding effect with shimmering red and blue lines all across the screen. Then it zooms in and cross-fadesinto a line of stars with two lines of text reading "ABC" on the top and bottom respectively. It then zooms out the reveal the ABC logo with red lines going across the logo and blue lines going down it. When the logo gets into place, a blue-red border zooms out into place. The circle of the logo continues to spin when the logo finishes.

Variant: There's a version where the background is black. This, in particular, was only used for closed circuit broadcasts, which, according to the <a class="external" href="http://www.museum.tv/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Museum of Broadcast Communications</a>, "a television transmission system in which live or prerecorded signals are sent over a closed loop to a finite and predetermined group of receivers, either via coaxial cable or as scrambled radio waves that are unscrambled at the point of reception."
