1st ID (1985-1986) Logo: On a black background a blue "TV speech balloon" symbol rotates and zooms in towards the top portion of the screen. Afterward, the white text "CLOSED CAPTIONED FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED" swiftly zooms in with a curve and stops under the symbol, leaving behind a blue-colored trail of the text that soon catches up to it. FX/SFX: The "TV speech balloon" symbol rotating and zooming it, and the text zooming/swinging in with a blue "trail" effect. Music/Sounds: A violin sting is heard throughout, accompanied by an 80s-sounding fanfare. Availability: Extinct. The Disney Channel began airing closed-captioned programs in 1985, and this bumper was seen before select movies like Pollyanna, The Sword in the Stone and Pete's Dragon. Check your old tapes. Editor's Note: TBA 2nd ID (1986-1991)

In front of them are "The following presentation is closed captioned for the hearing impaired." FX/SFX: The screen fading in and out.

Editor's Note: TBA 4th ID (Adventures in Wonderland variant) (March 1992-1994) Logo: On a grainy blue/orange background, a white "CC" symbol zooms into the center of the screen from the top-right. Afterward, the logo for the American Federation of Teachers slides in from behind it toward the top-left, followed by the logo for the National Education Association doing the same toward the bottom-right. FX/SFX: The "CC" logo zooming out, and the AFT and NEA logos sliding in from behind it. Music/Sounds: An announcer (Jerry Bishop) says the following: "The following program is closed-captioned, and has been recommended for viewing by the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association." Availability: Extinct; was seen only before Adventures in Wonderland. Check your old tapes. Editor's Note: TBA 5th ID (1994-April 1997) Logo: On a black background we see a yellow/orange "CC" logo positioned towards the left. To the right if it is the words "The following presentation has been CLOSED CAPTIONED". Below all that are the words "The Disney Channel" (with "Disney" colored blue and in its familiar script logotype).

7th ID (TKO variant) (1994-1997)

Logo: On a white background, the words "The following presentation has been CLOSED CAPTIONED" is in the center of the screen, written like a child would with multicolored crayons. Above the text, the TKO block's logo, consisting a cube, pyramid and cylinder with the letters "T", "K" and "O", respectively, animated by rotating on alternating axes. Below the text, a ball of green construction paper grows and spreads out to form forms a "CC" logo (similar to Rugrats title cards).

FX/SFX: The "TKO" logo rotating and the "CC" logo materializing, all done in stop-motion.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last ID.

Availability: Extinct; was only seen during The Disney Channel's "TKO" (Totally Kids Only) weekday morning block.
