'''Logo:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} background, the {{color|dodgerblue|cerulean}} text "{{color|dodgerblue|'''''CBS'''''}}" (in ITC Avant Garde Bold Italic) flies in from the left. While it does so, the "{{color|dodgerblue|'''''C'''''}}" leaves two trails behind; the second one is patterned like a globe, and some black stripes move towards it from the top and bottom of the screen. Then the white text "''A CBS BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL PRESENTATION''" (in the same font as "{{color|dodgerblue|'''''CBS'''''}}" but in a lighter weight) fades in.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} (or {{color|darkviolet|purple}}) background, we see various outlined circles dropping from the top of the screen, gradually forming a wireframe globe. When the globe's completely formed, it shines, becomes 3D and zooms out, as the background fades to a {{color|dodgerblue|sky blue}} background, with the CBS Eyemark around the globe (which acts as its pupil), the letters "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|blue|'''CBS'''}}}}" in the Didot font (which is CBS's trademark font) next to the CBS Eye, and "{{color|blue|'''''CBS BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL'''''}}" (set in Helvetica Italic) below the logo.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the tail end of the animation from the 1995 [[CBS Video]] logo, with the CBS Eye forming and the globe in the center of it still zooming out and rotating. However, instead of rotating into a box, the eye flips from an angle to the center of the screen and the globe does not turn completely {{color|silver|silver}}. The letters "{{color|silver|'''C'''}}", "{{color|silver|'''B'''}}", and "{{color|silver|'''S'''}}" in Helvetica Neue appear one-by-one above the eye in sync with the music (much like the network's 1992 ID), and then "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|silver|'''''Broadcast International'''''}}}}" in Times New Roman Italic fades in below.
