Freeform Originals

Background: On January 12, 2016, ABC Family was rebranded as Freeform. This debunked earlier rumors that the network was in a contract that forced the term "Family" into its name no matter what (and no matter what they show apparently).

1st Logo

(January 12, 2016-)

Nicknames: "The Waves", "The Freeform Waves", "Wavy Freeform"

Logo: We see some light blue waves on a blue background as the Freeform logo is seen through it. The waves change color and all of a sudden change to a different view as the letters of the Freeform logo quickly stretch in. The background turns light blue as the waves briefly go into the Freeform logo as a burst happens in the background. Dark waves then briefly go into the logo. The logo ends with waves appearing in the Freeform logo for one final time.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Everything, which can cause seizures.

Music/Sounds: An electronic tune.

Availability: Brand new. It can also be seen on the VOD release of the new show, Shadowhunters.

Scare Factor: Low. The quick animation may get to some.

2nd Logo

(January 12, 2016-)

Nicknames: "Still Waves"

Logo: We see waves similar from the last logo, but we see:
