The merger wouldn't take effect on screen until September 2007, when the King World and CBS Paramount Domestic Television logos were retired in favor of this one below. However, Merv Griffin's ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'' began using the logo in October 2007. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' A beautiful 7-note string sounder, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of the music in the CBS Paramount Network Television logo. The fourth note is accompanied by a beautiful beat, which is actually part of a timpani roll accompanying notes 1-4. Sometimes, it would have the finishing of the end-title theme over the logo.

*On ''Jeopardy!'', you can still hear part of the 1999 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing, probably due to sloppy plastering. This is unofficially called the "Ghost of the 1999 King World thunderclap". However, on the first few episodes under this logo, the short 1999 King World thunderclap, and the first part of the long version of the 1999 Sony Pictures Television logo music played | *On ''Jeopardy!'', you can still hear part of the 1999 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing, probably due to sloppy plastering.

*On MeTV's print (same as the DVD print) of the ''Hawaii Five-O'' episode "Wednesday, Ladies Free," the 1987 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] music is used. This happened again on Russian prints of various episodes of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and the "Sins of the Father" episode on ''The Next Level'' Blu-ray, as well as the ''Friday the 13th: The Series'' episode "Hate on Your Dial" on the Season 3 DVD.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo has been quite contentious for many logo enthusiasts. On one hand, it's very beautifully animated and scored, and it's clear a lot of time and effort was put into designing the CGI set, much reminiscent of the 1997 | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo has been quite contentious for many logo enthusiasts. On one hand, it's very beautifully animated and scored, and it's clear a lot of time and effort was put into designing the CGI set, much reminiscent of the 1997 CBS Productions logo. On the other hand, it's earned scorn for its frequent plastering over many companies' logos, notably ones from Viacom, Paramount Television, and Worldvision, making it one of the most hated logos of all time as a result (along with the 1992 [[20th Television]] and 2002 Sony Pictures Television logos, with the latter often following this one on shows like ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune''). | ||
