* '''''V of Pinball'':'''

** The B&W filmed variant with the "Pinball" theme appears on the [[Magnetic Video Corporation|Magnetic Video]] releases of ''King Creole'' (also on the Key Video re-releases) and ''Visit to a Small Planet''.

** Its color counterpart has been seen on the 1975 TV movie ''Eric'', and is also intact on the film's VHS release, the Magnetic Video release of ''Girls! Girls! Girls!'' (also on the 1985 Key Video re-release), the Australian Magnetic Video VHS release of ''All in a Night's Work'', and on one mid-1970s print of an early color episode of ''Gunsmoke'', which aired on Superstation WTBS back in 1986.

* '''''Filmed Variant'':'''  

** The B&W filmed variant was once spotted on an episode of ''Perry Mason'' on Me-TV before it was replaced with a later print sometime in 2015.

** It can also be spotted on almost every episode of ''The Millionaire'', which can occasionally be seen on Decades.

** The B&W filmed variant variant can also be spotted on DVD releases of ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' released by the [[Platinum Disc Corporation]], [[Madacy Lifestyle Marketing|Madacy Entertainment]], [[Mill Creek Entertainment]], and [[GoodTimes Entertainment]], among other companies.

** It is unknown if this was seen on the [[Magnum Entertainment]] releases of ''The Deerslayer'', ''The Last of the Mohicans'' (1977) or ''California Gold Rush'', the Magnetic Video VHS release and 1985 Key Video re-release of ''Roustabout'', or the 1985 Key Video re-issue of ''Blue Hawaii''.

** The 1978 and 1983 variants were formerly seen on two episodes of ''The Twilight Zone'' on Syfy ("You Drive" and "One for the Angels"), until the channel acquired updated prints sometime in 2015.

** It was also surprisingly seen on a 2012 airing of ''The Missiles of October'' on Me-TV, before the 1990 "Wigga Wigga" logo; however, newer prints, such as a recent Decades airing, used the 2007 CTD logo instead.  

** It can also be seen on two season 3 episodes of ''Have Gun, Will Travel'' on Me-TV and H&I ("Fragile" and "The Black Handkerchief").  

** It was also seen on some episodes of ''All in the Family'' before [[Columbia Pictures Television|Columbia Pictures Television Distribution]] (now [[Sony Pictures Television]]) acquired the syndication rights to that show.  

** It also makes a strange appearance at the start of the original VHS release of the 1980 film ''The Unseen'' (also intact on an '80s USA Network airing), while the filmed variant appears at the end.  

** This logo also appeared on a recent Decades airing of the season 2 ''Bob Newhart Show'' episode "The Modernization of Emily".  

** It appeared on original broadcasts of ''Family Feud''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first syndicated run (where it was preceded by in-credit text), but does not appear to have ever been retained in repeat airings.

* '''''Silent Variant'':'''   

** It apears on old VHS releases of the 1963 movie ''Fun in Acapulco'' and the 1966 movie ''Paradise, Hawaiian Style'' from Magnetic Video (both of which plaster over the [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] logo at the end of the film, though the Spanish-dubbed version, as well as the 1985 Key Video reprint (In English) of the latter film used the standard "V of Doom" music), the 1974 TV movie ''The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman'' from [[Prism Entertainment]], and the 1976 movie ''The Amazing World of Psychic Phenomena''.  

** It is unknown if this was seen on '80s prints of ''The Dick Van Dyke Show'', ''The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse'', ''Petticoat Junction'', ''The Houndcats'', ''The Harlem Globetrotters'' (1970s cartoon), ''Hawaii Five-0'', ''Amigo and Friends'', ''Gomer Pyle: U.S.M.C.'', ''The Honeymooners'', ''Whirlybirds'' and ''Our Miss Brooks'', among possible others.  

** It can be seen on the ''Perry Mason'' made-for-TV movies from 1987-89, along with some prints of previous ones (though most use the warp speed variant), but DVDs plaster it over with the CBS Television Distribution logo. However, it is preserved on some VHS tapes such as the British VHS release of ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Lethal Lesson'', but these aren't easy to come by, and as far as we can tell, have never been released to VHS in the United States.  

** This logo (and its extended variants) is also seen on various game shows syndicated by Viacom from 1986-1990, including ''Split Second'' (most Gametv and Buzzr reruns retain it; some episodes on Buzzr plastered it with the current [[Fremantle]] logo, though), ''Double Dare'' (this includes recent prints on iTunes and on Paramount+), and ''Remote Control''.  

** This logo was also spotted on British VHS releases of ''Fun in Acapulco'', ''King Creole'', ''Roustabout'' and ''All in a Night's Work'', older prints of ''Dempsey'' and ''Makepeace'', ''Father Dowling Mysteries'', a Decades broadcast of ''The Blue Knight'' (1975), at least one episode of ''The Twilight Zone'' on the French version of the Sci-Fi Channel, a Movies! broadcast of the 1971 docudrama ''Evel Knievel'', a Escape (now Court TV Mystery) airing of the 1989 film ''Night Game'', a recent TCM UK broadcast of ''Wild Geese II'' (1985), the 1987 Cannon film ''Three Kinds of Heat'', which can be found on Netflix UK, Amazon Prime, Paramount+ and Epix.com, and international prints of seasons 1-4 (and some of season 5) of ''Matlock'', though most use the warp speed variant. It does appear on a few Season 3-4 episodes of ''Matlock'' on CBS Justice (UK).  

** The "in-progress" variant can be found on the [[MCA/Universal Home Video]] VHS of ''Super Force'', the unsold ''Baby on Board'' pilot from 1988, as well as at least one episode of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV.  

** It has also been seen on some episodes of ''A Different World'' on Netflix.  

** It was also spotted on syndicated prints of the 1979 Canadian sports drama, ''Running''.

** This can also be seen on a late-2010s print of the film ''Katherine'' on YouTube Movies & Shows.  

** The green version was only seen on 90s TBS Superstation airings of ''Perry Mason'' (such as the episode “The Case of the Fickle Filly”).

* '''''Extended Variant (3-4 Wipes)'':'''  

** The long variant (3 wipes) can be found on the [[Family Home Entertainment]] VHS of ''The Adventures of the Little Koala'' and was on at least one episode of ''Perry Mason'' on Me-TV before being issued an updated print by CBS, while the long version with 4 wipes made its premiere on the short-lived NBC-aired sitcom ''Easy Street'', and was last spotted on the Toffler version of ''Finders Keepers'' on the now-defunct Nick GAS network. This is also seen on the aforementioned game shows distributed by Viacom in the late 1980s; reruns of these shows on Nick GAS, as well as Paramount+, retain the logo. The 3 wipes variant was also spotted on a 2017 FETV broadcast of the ''Perry Mason'' episode "The Case of the Poison Pen Pal".

* '''''Warp Speed Variant'':'''  

** This can currently be found on some episodes of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV, Decades (occasionally) and H&I.  

** In the past, episodes of ''I Love Lucy'' and ''The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour'' on Nick at Nite and TV Land had this logo as well.

** It could also be seen on the ''Perry Mason'' TV movies from 1990-95, and some prints of older ones, but DVDs plaster it with the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo.

** This can also be found on ''Family Affair'', ''My Three Sons'' (it also appeared on Season 11, Episode 12 of that show after the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo on a June 14, 2018 airing on Me-TV), VHS releases of ''Payoff'' (1991), a True Movies UK broadcast and Me-TV airings of the 1973 TV film ''A Dream for Christmas'', the 2009 Warner Archive DVD-R of ''Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'' (1973), the [[Republic Entertainment|Republic Pictures]] VHS of ''Rent-a-Kid'', the [[Prism Entertainment]] VHS of ''Memories of Murder'' (The original Lifetime broadcast used the warp speed 1986 "V of Steel" logo instead), VHS copies of ''The Right Connections'', ''The Operation'' (AKA: ''Bodily Harm'') (plastering the 7th logo which was used on the original CBS broadcast and also kept on a Lifetime airing), recent Movies! broadcasts of ''Day of the Animals'' (1977) and ''The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia'', the Mexican VHS release of the ''Greatest Heroes of the Bible'' episode "Abraham's Sacrifice", ''They Watch'', the Starmaker Video VHS releases of ''Last Train from Gun Hill'', ''Donner Pass: The Road to Survival'', ''Little Lord Fauntleroy'' (1980), ''The Incredible Rocky Mountain Race'', and ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Lost Love'', among possible others, a Brazilian VHS of the Sunn Classics adaptation of ''The Fall of the House of Usher'', the Kino Lorber DVD of ''Really Weird Tales'' (after the 5th logo), a Brazilian VHS of the Italian film ''Blood Ties'', the [[Vidmark Entertainment]] VHS of ''Murder by Moonlight'', and international prints of ''Rawhide'', along with some recent prints on Heroes & Icons.

** It was also spotted on a 2005 Superstation WGN (now NewsNation) airing of ''Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection'' (1990), an old syndicated print of the New Line film ''Alone in the Dark'' (1982), a 2003 WE TV airing of ''Tears in the Rain'' (1988) and Sky Go New Zealand prints of some episodes of ''All in the Family'' like season 2 episode 6.

** It is unknown if this same print is retained on the ''Jake and the Fatman'' complete series boxset, or if said boxset retains this logo on later season 4 episodes as well as S5 episodes.

* '''''Ultra Warp Speed Variant'':'''

** It may still be intact on some episodes of ''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'', and was also spotted on a December 2018 Me-TV broadcast of the ''Gunsmoke'' episode "P.S. Murry Christmas", and can possibly be seen on episodes from the later seasons.

** It was also intact on many Season 17 episodes of ''Gunsmoke'' on the UK CBS Channels.
