In a dark blue box, a numeral "12" appears, with both numbers rendered in three thick striped lines placed close together; the "1" is curved to the right towards the top, while the "2" is rendered using three horizontal straight lines on the bottom, and three curved lines nearly circular and then flattening against the bottom element for the top which do not meet. Below the numeral, the station's call letters, "WISN" appear. Next to the logo on the right, the blue version of ABC's 2013 logo is rendered in a subtle gloss.
