 * This article is about the Australian public broadcaster that was founded in June 23, 1929 and established in July 1, 1932. For the Television channel that was launched in November 5, 1956, see ABC (Australian TV channel).

1965–1975


In 1965, ABC graphics designer Bill Kennard, who had been experimenting with telerecording of the cathode ray oscilloscope displays, submitted a design which was part of the waveform from an oscilloscope.

The letters "ABC" were added to the design and it was adopted as the ABC's official logo. Kennard was presented with £25 for his design.

1975–present


Since its original introduction in 1965, it has been updated several times, including with the introduction of colour television in 1975. The line was thickened to feature colour in the logo.

The 1975 logo is the longest-running logo, with a lifespan of 27 years.

2001–present


In 2001, ABC's new logo was repainted by Annette Harcus. In this logo, the curve now has a 3D silver texture while keeping the "over and under" design of the logo since 1975.
