**L.J.** (also known by his username **L.J. est. 2004** and formerly and legally known as **ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy** along with the abbreviation **ABCTLCT**) is an Australian YouTube channel that uploads a wide variety of content. The channel was created by Marcus Commarmond and he thinks that "ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy" is a great name for his new YouTube channel. Since 2021, the slogan has been "Seeing is Believing."

## History

The channel can be traced back to July 2014 when Marcus Commarmond released a report, called *Marcus' New Channel.*

In May 2015 **MCTV** was launched, but however it had the first episode of Dash Gets Grounded in season 1, but more DGG episodes were released and it was short-lived. Later on, the channel shut down on 5 September. All of his videos (as well as his grounded videos and channel) were deleted off his parents because he would not be going back on YouTube until the next year.

After its absence, Commarmond went back on YouTube as ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy and it was finally launched on 21 September 2016 but did not start using a slogan until the next year. It happened 2 days after ABC3's rebrand to ABC Me. As of 25 December 2017, the slogan was "Look for me anytime on social media."

On 26 December 2020, it was announced that ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy would be receiving a new name starting in 2021. This is to help avoid brand confusion with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The channel was renamed L.J. (with L.J. est. 2004 as his username) on 10 May.

## L.J./ZombiethekidRUS

In 2018, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy was pairing up with ZombiethekidRUS to form L.J./ZombiethekidRUS, as a joint-venture.

## Programming

Some of these programs include Ask ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy, #OnThisDay, BusyCity, AGK Shorts and Funniest Home Videos (until September 2018) were made available on L.J. Select. The channel also borrowed jacknjellify's YouTube series, Battle for BFDI, which some of the episodes were placed on L.J. Select also.

The Fuhrer Show is ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy's first post-termination web series that began around September 2018 and ended the same year, having been cancelled in 2021.

Flashback Fridays With L.J. Two and R.I.P. were also on L.J. Two, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy's alternate channel, but however R.I.P. was going to move to L.J.'s primary channel in September 2018, but however failed and due to third-party copyright, it got terminated.

## Subscribers

Iolanda Requiao Dias was the very first person to subscribe to his channel, followed by louielouie95, bluetennant1998, then soon, the rest. ZombiethekidRUS began subscribing to his channel, but ABC L.J. subscribed back to him.

Nick Samon subscribed to ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy, then on 10 August 2018 he started subscribing back to him, but he was a little bit late.

As on 29 April 2018, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy has reached 1,000 subscribers, besides ZombiethekidRUS, which got less subscribers than this channel.

Later on 8 August, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy reached up to 2,000. Despite this, ZombiethekidRUS got up to 116 because ABC L.J. was in front of him.

## Termination due to third-party copyright/Revival

On 21 September, fittingly on its 2nd birthday celebration, the channel (and other L.J. channels) got terminated due to third-party copyright, but it quickly returned after a day of absence. ABC L.J. has decided to not upload a big amount of copyrighted content, but only a little bit.

## Logo identity and history

The first ABCTLCT logo was made, featuring the 1974 ABC logo (which was taken from the ABC at the time) with the two words appearing below it; "ABC" and "The Lissajous Curve Thingy".

Two different variants were used, one of which the word "ABC" appears in the logo as seen above. Although it is no longer in use as of 20 February 2018, this logo continued to be used in the [./https://logos2.fandom.com/wiki/ABC\_The\_Lissajous\_Curve\_Thingy\_Productions ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy Productions] logo until July. This logo was still used as a branding watermark with the word "ABC" being removed until 2021.

On 20 February 2018, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy changed its logo for the first time since it launched in 2016 and it also saw the launch of [./https://logos2.fandom.com/wiki/L.J.\_Sport L.J. Sport]. Unlike promised, the word "ABC" was removed on its [./https://logos2.fandom.com/wiki/ABC\_The\_Lissajous\_Curve\_Thingy\_Home\_Entertainment Home Video] arm (except for the [./https://logos2.fandom.com/wiki/ABC\_The\_Lissajous\_Curve\_Thingy\_DVD DVD] variation), effectively making way for the other two words to fit them in. The slogan used with this logo was originally "Look for me anytime on social media" (which was also used in late 2017 with the previous logo), which was later changed to "Yes, It's Back."

Despite the logo being updated in 2019, this logo continued to be used on other ABCTLCT properties until 2021.

On 17 September 2019 in honour of the channel's 3rd anniversary, ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy changed its logo once again with a new slogan to accompany it; "The one to watch", which was also used by the Seven Network between 2000 and 2003. This is the first time that the channel has its new variation in its horizontal format.

Despite the channel undergoing a wide rebrand and rename, this is the last logo to be made under the "ABC The Lissajous Curve Thingy" name. It is expected to be retired by mid-May 2021 as it will adopt the L.J. name.

This logo was unveiled on 28 February 2021 (the same day L.J. Sport has made one as well), which consists of the same logo as the last 3, but this time it's placed inside a box and also flanked with the word "L.J.". The new slogan to accompany it is "Seeing is Believing." as this logo debuted on all social media accounts on 10 May. This was leaked on a YouTube post.
