5th Logo (1999-2007)
Visuals: On a gradient background, there is clips of ABC News presenters from ABC News shows and the blue globe spinning. Suddenly, the ABC News program title (depending on the show) zooms in in a color while another text does the same thing in white. As the program title fades out, the text "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source" types itself with a bar at the end of each word. As the text does so, the spinning globe we saw earlier fades in and zooms out while the ABC News logo does the same. The globe and the ABC News logo suddenly place themselves and as they do, the clips fade out and all we see is a blue globe spinning around with the ABC News logo in the middle of it.

Technique: Sudden animation with the spinning blue globe in CGI.

Audio: Same as the 4th logo.
