KABC-TV

==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).

===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=====
====1997–present====
This logo's design is shared with sister station KGO-TV in San Francisco.
=====1997–2007=====
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=====
 
Although this logo was since replaced by the following one, it strangely reappeared on a special Eyewitness News broadcast on September 30, 2015.
=====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 (with a gray version of the ABC logo), and even as a temporary on screen bug during syndicated programming.
