The Australian Broadcasting Co. was renamed to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation when it is established in July 1, 1932. But however, the ABC squiggle logo was not introduced until 1965.

ABC 1965

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.

ABC 1975

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.

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.
