Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution

Background: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution is the domestic distribution unit of Walt Disney Television (formerly Disney–ABC Television Group, and not to be confused with the other one), a division of The Walt Disney Company. It was originally formed in 1985 as "Buena Vista Television", before being renamed in July 2007 as "Disney-ABC Domestic Television" due to the Walt Disney Company retiring the "Buena Vista" brand. In 2013, its barter syndication division was renamed to "ABC Syndication". Since August 2015, Disney-ABC Domestic Television was renamed to its current name.

Nicknames: "Crashing Stars", "Disney-ABC in the Sky"

Logo: We see two stars flying downward on a black space background. They merge into a white star, and the logo starts to take form with "Disney" (in the corporate font) and the ABC logo (tinted blue) coming from each side. Clouds appear as the space background turns into a blue sky, and two lines draw underneath the Disney-ABC design, while the finished product rotates to the center of the screen. As this is happening, the Disney logo and star fade from white to blue. The stacked text "D O M E S T I C" and "T E L E V I S I O N" are seen underneath the logo, and the clouds move slowly to the left.

Variants:
 * The logo is typically seen in a short version where it cuts off before the clouds make any significant movement.
 * On Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for Nintendo DS, a still version is used. The Disney/ABC logos and words are placed horizontally against a white background, with the Disney and ABC logos separated by a vertical line.
 * An updated version of the logo was introduced in September 2013. The sky color fade-in plays faster, and starts a second earlier. The ABC logo was modified into the 2013 rendition that made its debut that summer, but with a blue shine instead of a yellow one (perhaps to match the sky's color). The text underneath the lines is also modified, and are now no longer in spaced-out all-caps, instead having the first letter of each word capitalized and in what appears to be Helvetica.
 * The logo was updated in 2015 to reflect the name change.

FX/SFX: The two stars merging and the flying logo.

Music/Sounds: A remix of the 1997 medium-length Buena Vista Television logo theme. The instrumentation has been made more majestic. Like the Buena Vista logo, there are long, medium and short versions. Sometimes, the closing theme plays over the logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Live! with Kelly and Ryan, the first half of the music plays over before the show fades to the logo and the second half is on the logo. The first half is on low volume while the second half is on the normal volume.
 * On Katie, FABLife, and Right This Minute, only the last seven notes are used.
 * On some Katie, FABLife, and Right This Minute episodes, the long version of the 1997 Buena Vista Television logo theme is used, remixed the same way as the normal version of the theme and ending with a drum-roll.

Availability: Common.
 * Currently appears on post-2007 episodes of first-run syndication programs such as Live! with Kelly and Ryan, and Tamron Hall among others.
 * Reruns of the syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on GSN with Meredith Vieira plaster the Buena Vista Television logos with this logo. This is the only knwon time this logo has plastered another one.
 * Don't expect this to appear on reruns of the Disney-ABC library, because Disney allegedly has a logo policy to keep all of the original logos and to protect the Disney company's family image; this logo is seen only on first-run syndicated series.

Editor's Note: A perfectly fine logo that, while not as memorable as its predecessor, still uses the BVTV theme in a pretty nice way.
