1st Logo (April 7-June 17, 2004)	2nd Logo (October 5, 2006)	3rd Logo (October 23, 2007-June 22, 2010)	4th Logo (February 26, 2008-June 22, 2010)	5th Logo (October 11, 2011)	6th Logo (September 25, 2012)	7th Logo (October 15, 2013)

1st Logo (April 7-June 17, 2004)

Visuals: The still ABC logo is seen along with Buena Vista Interactive's logo with a copyright stamp for Touchstone Television.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Alias.

2nd Logo (October 5, 2006)

Visuals: On a black background is the ABC logo, which is colored brown, with a curve running around it. The logo then fades out.

Trivia: This logo is based on ABC's 2006-07 ident.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Desperate Housewives.

3rd Logo (October 23, 2007-June 22, 2010)

Visuals: Just the 2007 ABC logo on a background, which varies by game:

On Wipeout: The Game for Nintendo DS, the background is black.
On the Dancing with the Stars video game, the background is white. The ABC logo is smaller in this variant.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Wipeout: The Game for Nintendo DS. The white background variant appears on Dancing with the Stars.

4th Logo (February 26, 2008-June 22, 2010)

Visuals: On a bright gray surface, a selection set emerges and rotates. It contains four ABC circles, each with a different device inside (two portables, a computer, and a TV). When the set shows us every picture, it compresses into a single circle with an arrow, which immediately reverts to the ABC logo. Water drops appear around, and the words "start here" are drawn to the right.

Trivia: This logo is based on the 2007-2008 ABC ident, created by Troika Design Group.

A still print version is seen on Grey's Anatomy for NDS.
On Wipeout: The Game, the beginning part is cut off.

Technique: CGI animation.

Availability: Appears on Lost: Via Domus, Grey's Anatomy and Wipeout: The Game.

5th Logo (October 11, 2011)

Visuals: The same water-rotating action as in the previous logo, but with some brown color tone. The background looks different here and the final result includes the ABC shield only.

Trivia: This logo is based on ABC's 2008-11 idents.

Technique: Same as the previous logo.

Audio: Same concept as the previous logo, but with a different voice and no "start here".

Trivia: This logo is based on ABC's 2011-13 idents.

Technique: Same as before.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on Wipeout 3 for Wii.

7th Logo (October 15, 2013)

Visuals: Same as the 2013 ABC Entertainment logo, except "ABC ENTERTAINMENT" and the copyright stamp are absent.

Technique: Same as the 2013 ABC Entertainment logo.

Audio: Same as the 2013 ABC Entertainment logo, but when the logo zooms out, there is the same male voice-over from the 5th logo saying "ABC".
