Since August 2015, Disney-ABC Domestic  Television was  renamed to its current name.<br/><br/><br/><font face="Arial">(2007- )</font></font><div><font face="Arial"><br/></font><div align="center"><font size="3"><font face="Arial"><img align="bottom" alt="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2007)" height="169" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/RWOGK84A0wDm51lsggnozg76531/GW227H169" title="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2007)" width="227"/></font><font face="Arial"><img align="bottom" alt="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (widescreen)" height="170" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/w6lrCEILiqIjARV7f0HDsQ44952/GW303H170" title="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (widescreen)" width="303"/></font><img align="bottom" alt="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2013)" height="170" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/pQW501uVfIYV15w_KpMYZw206381/GW303H170" title="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2013)" width="303"/><img align="bottom" alt="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2010)" height="170" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/AsLAc21iAErjC4nFCquAGw6769/GW234H170" title="Disney-ABC Domestic Television (2010)" width="234"/><img align="bottom" alt="Disney ABC Home Entertainemtn and Television Distribution" height="170" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/2b004ec728e6df974ebcfb6bc07414c1/GW303H170" title="Disney ABC Home Entertainemtn and Television Distribution" width="303"/><br/><iframe frameborder="0" height="157" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/25d4558ad65ac316180e06507dfc9776cdd05dc9" width="196"></iframe><iframe height="157" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/15440c9cdf994f13959421f234cd7d20b60ae201" width="259"></iframe></font></div><font size="3"><font face="Arial"><br/><u>Nicknames</u>: "Crashing Stars", "Disney-ABC in the Sky"<br/><br/></font><font face="Arial"><u>Logo</u>:</font><font> We see two stars flying downward on a black space background. They merge into a </font><font color="#808080">white </font><font>star, and the logo starts</font><font> to t</font><font>ake</font><font> form with the Disney (in the corporate font) logo and the ABC logo</font><font><font color="#333333"> (tinted </font><font color="#0000ff">blue</font><font color="#333333">) </font><font><font color="#333333">coming   from each side with the words "</font><font color="#808080"><b>Home  Entertainment and Television  Distribution</b></font><font color="#333333">" (previously "</font><font color="#808080">DOMESTIC TELEVISION</font><font color="#333333">"), under the two  small  lines, and a </font><font color="#0000ff">blue </font><font color="#333333">sky background, with clouds appearing. As this is   happening, the Disney logo and star fade from </font><font color="#808080">white </font><font color="#333333">to </font><font color="#0000ff">blue</font><font color="#333333">. After this,   the clouds move slowly to the left. In most cases, however, the short   version is used, so the logo tends to cut off before the clouds make any   significant movement.</font><br/><br/></font></font><u>Variants</u><font color="#333333">:</font><br/></font><ul><li><font size="3">On <i>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?</i>  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.</font></li><li><font size="3">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.</font></li><li><font size="3">The logo was updated in 2015 to reflect the name change.</font></li></ul><font size="3"><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: The two stars merging and the flying logo.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>:   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.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds Variants</u><font face="Arial">:<br/></font></font><ul><li><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial" size="3"><font face="Arial">On <i>Live! with K</i></font><i>elly and Ryan</i>,     the first half of the music plays over before the show fades to the     logo and the second half is on the logo.
