The three rings and vertical line remain, but the outlined black box encasing them was removed and replaced by a grey square. The ABS and CBN acronyms merged again after 33 years but the ABS-CBN text is located below the symbol instead of the above like the 1963–1967 logo and the hyphen is used between the acronyms instead of a dot. The logo was given a major revamp on January 1, 2000, with the dawn of the new millennium. Jun Jison, Iggy Vitalis (with added elements by Eugenio Lopez, Jr.) The ABS and CBN letters are separated, with ABS on top and CBN at the bottom - possibly an ode to ABS (formerly owned by the Quirino family until 1957) and CBN (owned by the Lopez family) being once two separate entities prior to 1961. The symbol resembles a lollipop and spinning top toy ( trumpo in Filipino), and also resembling the logo of American recording companies Columbia Records and CBS Records International (although Columbia Records and CBS Records International has a vertical line underneath the circles instead of within the circles and also have a left-slant line, and a black circle at the middle). The logo, then in monochrome black and white, had three rings that represent the three island groups of the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao) and a vertical line signifying a transmitter, with a square enclosing the symbol. The now-iconic design consisting of three rings, a line, and a square made its debut on February 1, 1967.
