Background

The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is a television network, owned by Disney since 1996. They are not directly involved in game development, but Disney uses the logo on ABC-based licenses.

1st Logo (April 7, 2004)

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

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Can be found on Alias.

2nd Logo (October 6, 2006)

Logo: The ABC logo is colored in brown. A curve appears and begin running around the circle. The logo then fades out.

FX/SFX: The curve running.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Can be found on Desperate Housewives.

3rd Logo (February 26, 2008-March 10, 2009)

Nickname: "Start Here"

Logo: On a bright gray surface, the 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 ABC logo. The water drops appear around, and the words "start here" are drawn to the right.

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

Variant: A still print version was seen on Grey's Anatomy for NDS.

FX/SFX: The whole logo in CGI.

Music/Sounds: Several synth jingles and tapping sounds at the background, plus the voice says: "Anytime. Anywhere. ABC. Start Here".

Availability: Appears on Lost: Via Domus and Grey's Anatomy.

4th Logo (October 21, 2008; June 22, 2010)

Logo: Just a common ABC corporate shield, lying on a black or white background.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

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

5th Logo (October 11, 2011)

Nickname: "Start Here II"

Logo: The same water-rotating action as in the 3rd logo, but with some brown color tone. The background looks different here and the final result includes the ABC shield only.

FX/SFX: See 3rd logo.

Music/Sounds: Same concept as the 3rd logo, but a different voice and no "start here".

Availability: Appears on Wipeout 2 for Wii.

6th Logo (October 15, 2013)

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

FX/SFX: Same as the 2013 ABC Entertainment logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2013 ABC Entertainment logo, but when the logo zooms out, we hear a male voice-over saying "ABC".

Availability: Appears on Wipeout: Create and Crash for Wii U.
