Technique: Luminance key effects.

Visuals: Over the last shot of the show, there is the print ABC logo of the time with "ABC-TV" above. A copyright notice is often shown below.

Variants:

Starting in 2011, the text "ABC" fades in below after the animation, which is different.
In later years, the text was changed to "Produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation" set above the logo.
There is a still variant in which the text reads "ABC TELEVISION" instead of "ABC".
Instead of being it in a black background, it is in a blue background.
Sometimes, the text was changed to "Developed and Produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation" set on top of the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme or none.

Availability: Unknown.
