The image was covered by the arched “ThatsMEon” in the same rounded sans-serif, in a yellow-green and blue color palette, with a purple outline. The whole badge was enclosed into a thin circular purple frame.
The redesign of 2013 happened after the channel name was changed to ABCkidTV. It was a derivative from the previous logo version, but with the new logotype and the graphical elements rethought and refined. The new badge had a sky-blue background, where the purple television in a red frame was drawn. Two hands and two purple antennas were coming out of the frame. A fancy three-dimensional image of a ladybug was set in the upper left corner of the composition. As for the logotype, it was written over the purple tv screen, in bold rounded sans-serif letters, using such colors as green, pink, yellow, blue, and orange.
