Sort of a similar design to the 1971 logo; the 1978 "4" logo became enclosed in a rounded square.
1998–2000
The white outline of the square was removed, and the ABC logo placed in the upper left-hand side.
The station gained a new typeface, and introduced a modified '4' logo; it is partially based on the design used by the NBC owned-and-operated stations that broadcast on channel 4.
