Today they have to much emotions......

I hated the simple yellow graphics in the late '90s. That was the lowest of the low.

Snoresville! This ident is boring!

I hate this "kinda-looks-like Weather Network" ABC ident. The graphics are ugly and boring.

I dunno if that's worse than the "splash" ident they continue to use today--it was nice the first three years they used it but it's starting to get old...and it was entitled "Start Here" but for some reason they stopped using that slogan. At least the yellow theme was somewhat unique for the five years they used it IMPO, but they really need to discontinue the "splash" animation and incorporate something new already for crying out loud!

The ABC ID "This is ABC" was v/o by Ed Jordan, who was a longtime announcer for the network.

Oh thanks, for a minute there I thought I had forgotten how to use the alphabet!

Ernie Anderson also did the voiceover for this version of the ABC bumper.

Overall, the graphics used by TV stations in the late80 through the firs half of the 90s were the best with the 3D. I don't know what happened but in the late 90s, they began to suck as they went back to 2D.

It's a station ID, it's not supposed to be emotional, it's supposed to be quick and under the radar. Plus all he said was "This is ABC" how many emotions can you pack into 3 seconds without sounding like a moron? This is the best logo in my opinion, and looks more modern than those done 10 years afterwards.
