Logo descriptions and captures by Eric S. and Others
1st Logo
(1985)
Nicknames: "The Shining Border", "Bevel"
Logo: On a purple background, we see an indigo square with a border, which is shining. The entire logo happens to be a bevel. Inside it, the words "Distributed by the ABR ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" in school bus yellow is seen.
FX/SFX: The border of the square shining.
Music/Sounds: None or the end theme.
Availability: Near extinction. Can seen on the Wolper special Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus, which was available on VHS from Paramount Video, however Cartoon Network airings use the 1984 Warner Bros. Television Distribution logo instead.
2nd Logo
(September 8, 1986-September 1988)
Nickname: “Filmstrips in Space”
Logo: On a zooming space background, "WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTION" is seen in the top left corner of the screen. In the middle of the screen, there are 2 light indigo, diagonal filmstrips that are curved over lines that are coming out of the filmstrips. On the right of them is "ABR" in Arial with "ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" below it in a very small print. 
FX/SFX: The background.
Music/Sounds: A 7-note synth piano tune.
Availability: Extinct. Seen on the 1986 version of the game show Crosswits and the 1987 version of Lingo. The 1987-88 game show Yahtzee was distributed by ABR, but as far as we know there was only an in-credit reference to said company. Also appeared on the Burbank animated Treasure Island.
