Variants:
 * The logo can be filmed or videotaped.
 * On American Detective, the "in association with" text is seen below.
 * On America's Funniest Home Videos, there's an ABC copyright stamp "(C) [YEAR] American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved", which fades-in below in . From 1993 onwards, the text had a white shadow lettering.

Music/Sounds:
 * 1988-1995: An ethereal synth choir fanfare. It exists in long and short versions. A low tone version existed on the TV movie My Name is Kate.
 * 1990-2001: A cheerful synth piano tune with the last note ending on a cymbal. Like before, it exists in long and short versions.
 * Sometimes, the closing theme is played, or none.

 * This can be found on My So-Called Life and The Commish (although the latter series is owned by the Cannell Studios and Shout! Factory), as well as the final season of Moonlighting.
 * It can also be seen (albeit silent) on WGN America's reruns of the Fugelsang/Fuentes era of America's Funniest Home Videos.

 * This also appeared after the Bob Myer Productions logo on the sitcoms Joe's Life and Me and the Boys.
 * Some TV movies from the time period reran on networks like Lifetime or LMN may keep this.
