KECA-TV[]

1949–1954[]

KABC-TV originally signed on the air on September 16, 1949, as KECA-TV and has been owned-and-operated by ABC since its inception. The station's call sign was named after Los Angeles broadcasting pioneer Earle C. Anthony, whose initials were also present on channel 7's then-sister radio station, KECA (790 AM, now KABC).

KABC-TV[]

1954–1956[]

On February 1, 1954, KECA-TV changed its call sign to the current KABC-TV.

1956–1962[]

1962–present[]

1962–1997[]

In 1962, ABC commissioned designer G. Dean Smith to create a proprietary logo for its owned-and-operated stations, known as the "Circle 7". This logo has since expanded into use by many ABC stations not owned by the network. It predates Paul Rand's ABC logo by 4 months. This can be still seen as a patch on the station's news anchors, albeit in gold.

1995–1997[]

1996–present[]

This logo's design is shared with sister station KGO-TV in San Francisco.

2000–2007[]

As of November 2021, this is still used outside (and even on some parts inside) the station's Glendale, CA studios, as well as a handful of its news vans and helicopters.

2007–2012[]

Like with the previous logo, this is still used on a handful of its news vans and helicopters. This was also still briefly used in the station's Sports Zone openings, even after the debut of the next 2 logos.

2012–2013[]

2013–2021[]

As of November 2021, this is still used in tandem with the next one, as it is still seen on air on its Eyewitness News newscasts, on its website, and even as a temporary on screen bug during syndicated programming.

2021–present[]
