CBS Media Ventures: Difference between revisions

===Background===

==CBS Television Distribution==

* The longer variant shows the camera zooming away from the CBS Eyemark at the beginning, "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" zooms back in place, and then the camera moves away from the logo until it stops behind some black girders. As it zooms out, the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''S'''}}" in "{{font|Times New Roman|'''CBS'''}}" briefly shines. It was seen on the company's official website prior to the rebrand to CBS Media Ventures.

* A black & white version is used on B&W shows.

* 2010-: Another variant starts off with the animation from the extended version, but is in warp speed.

* On some first-run shows such as ''The Insider'' and ''Entertainment Tonight'', the final scene or the end credits crossfade to the logo (sometimes its longer variant).

* On the 2013 revival of ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', a copyright stamp for Eye Productions, Inc. appears below.

* On a recent print of the second part of the two-part TV movie ''The Key to Rebecca'', the logo is strangely squished.

* On a MeTV print of a ''Star Trek'' episode, there is a 1967 copyright at the bottom. Other ''Star Trek'' variants feature a 1968 Paramount/Norway copyright or a 1978 Paramount copyright.

* Widescreen and scope variants exist.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A beautiful 7-note string sounder, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of the music in the [[CBS Studios|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. This fanfare's composed by Gregory Smith. Sometimes, the last note of the end credit theme plays over the logo. The following versions are commonly used:

* There is a short version with a faster pace.

* Sometimes, the theme would have either 6 (minus the first note) or all 7 notes. For the full 7-note version, the first note may be cut in half (on some first-run shows) or be heard in full (often heard on syndicated prints of shows produced by [[CBS Productions]], CBS Paramount Television, and CBS Television Studios).

* There is a longer version of the theme where there is a gap between the last two notes. This version has a cymbal on the fourth and sixth notes; the first one plays when the timpani stops.

* The extended version has a brief brass/synth stinger before the longer version of the theme plays.

* On the revival of ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', the last 3 notes are used.

* On ''Jeopardy!'', you can still hear part of the 1999 [[King World Productions|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 2002 [[Sony Pictures Television]] logo music played, which continued to the short version of that said logo.

* 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. (as the German print) "Mission: Impossible" episode "The Fixer. Either occurrence is most likely due to a plastering error.

* A "high-tone" version of the short version jingle is on Acorn Media's DVD release of the mini-series ''Washington: Behind Closed'' Doors.

* A double high-tone (very high-pitched) and slightly faster version of the short version jingle exists on a recent print of the two-part TV movie ''The Key to Rebecca''.

* A silent variant exists; On season 7 of ''Wings'' on DVD, the logo is silent. It was also silent on a 2013 episode of ''Dr. Phil'', because it followed a memorial segment for a consultant for the show, who had recently passed away. This also happened on the September 11th episode of the 2013 version of ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', due to a moment of silence held for those who died 12 years ago on that day. The other logos seen before this one were in silence as well. This can also be seen on the episodes of Season 6 of ''Have Gun, Will Travel'' on DVD.

* One episode of ''The Love Boat'' had the [[Worldvision Enterprises|Worldvision]] "Whoosh Globe" music playing over it instead due to sloppy plastering.

* A Spanish print of ''The Love Boat'' S2 episode "Love Me, Love My Dog/Poor Little Rich Girl/The Decision" has the 1988 Worldvision Enterprises theme in low-tone playing over this.

* One episode of ''Gomer Pyle-USMC'' on MeTV and a Season 10 episode of ''Judge Joe Brown'' on The Roku Channel had the CBS Paramount Domestic Television "Wallpaper" music play over it instead due to sloppy plastering.

* A Russian print of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' S1 EP3 has the [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom]] "Wigga-Wigga" theme over this, continuing from the "V of Steel"; it's presumably due to the audio track being from a different source.

* On a French print of the TV movie ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Murdered Madam'', the warp-speed "V of Steel" theme plays over the logo due to a plastering error.

* On a June 3, 2010 Encore Westerns airing of one episode of ''Rawhide'', the 1990 Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" short music is heard due to bad plastering.

* On an H&I print of one episode of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', the theme is low toned.

* On a MeTV airing of an episode of ''Laverne and Shirley'', you can faintly hear the 1975 Paramount Television "Blue Mountain" logo music in the background due to a sloppy plaster job.

* On the format sales presentations to ''The Brady Bunch'' and ''Becker'', a triumphant, extended version of the 1st CBS Paramount Television logo is heard. Plus, you can hear the first five notes of the CTD logo.

* It appeared until 2021 on new episodes of ''Judge Judy'', ''Dr. Phil'', ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''Hot Bench'', ''The Drew Barrymore Show,'' and ''The Doctors'', among other national syndicated TV shows.

* It was also seen on ex-King World distributed shows ''Jeopardy!'', ''Wheel of Fortune'', and ''Rachael Ray''. This logo was not used this much on ''Inside Edition'', as they usually fade to black after the host wraps up. Also don't expect this on the now concluded ''Oprah Winfrey Show''.

* It can also be seen on local reruns of ''Half & Half'', ''One on One'', and ''Maximum Exposure'' (the latter title to have followed after the Paramount Domestic Television logo of the time). This logo is also seen on ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' in local syndication, which plasters over the King World logo. However, it was preceded by the 2006 King World logo on some TV Land reruns. It was also seen on the remastered version of ''Star Trek: The Original Series''.

* The extended version was seen on their website (without music) and on the final two seasons of ''Montel''.

* This logo can also be seen with its network television counterpart's then-current "Wallpaper" logo before it on syndicated reruns of the ''CSI'' franchise.

* The short version should be found on every remaining release of the original "Five-O," from #4 to the end, along with most DVD releases of older CBS-owned programming from late April 2008 onward. Also seen until September 2011 on syndicated reruns of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' in which this logo replaced the 1987 Paramount Television logo. This happened again on that said show's ''Next Level'' Blu-ray.

* This logo can also be seen with the 1998 King World logo before it on some reruns of ''Early Edition'' on Syfy.

* This logo can also be seen with the 2003 Paramount Network Television logo before it on syndicated reruns of the first two seasons of ''NUMB3RS'' and syndicated reruns of the first season of ''Everybody Hates Chris''.

* This logo also plasters over Viacom logos on Viacom-produced shows on DVD, including seasons 2-9 of ''Matlock'', the Acorn Media DVD of the 1981 miniseries ''East of Eden'', seasons 1-2 of ''Cannon'', seasons 4-7 of ''Sabrina The Teenage Witch'', seasons 1-2 of ''Jake & The Fatman'', 4 out of 5 films on the VEI DVD release of The ''Diagnosis Murder'' Movie Collection, the made-for-TV ''Perry Mason'' movies, and the Kino Lorber DVDs of ''The Master'' among others. CBS Drama (UK) airings of ''Matlock'' also use this logo, as did a November 2017 MeTV airing (and possibly DVD and Blu-Ray releases) of ''Return to Mayberry''. However, this follows the "V of Steel" and "Wigga-Wigga" on the ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' DVDs and Decades airings, the "Gold V of Happiness" and "Wigga-Wigga" on the Kino Lorber DVD of ''Really Weird Tales'', and the "V of Doom" and "Wigga-Wigga" on seasons 3-5 DVDs of ''Cannon'', and also follows the Children's Video Library logo on Hulu's print of ''Thanksgiving in the Land of Oz'' (which is the same as the DVD print).

* This also plasters the [[Rysher Entertainment]] logo on ''Nash Bridges: The Fourth Season'' on DVD and on H&I airings.

* This was seen on a 2019 reissue of the pilot movie of ''Walker, Texas Ranger'' on DVD.

* The second season of ''Dave's World'' on DVD, the first and second seasons of ''Caroline in the City'' on DVD, getTV airings of ''The Kid Who Loved Christmas'' (with the 1989 Paramount Television logo before this logo), Start TV airings of the 1st 2 seasons of ''Early Edition'', Decades airings of ''Matt Houston'' (with the 1984 [[Warner Bros. Television|Warner Bros. Television Distribution]] logo before or after this logo) ''Brooklyn Bridge'' (with the 1990 Paramount Television logo after this logo), MeTV airings of season 1 of ''Touched by an Angel'' and ''The (New) Twilight Zone'', and all four seasons of ''Duckman'' on DVD, also used this logo.

* This made an unusual (for a television logo) theatrical appearance during Fathom Events' ''The Twilight Zone: A 60th Anniversary Celebration'', a limited theatrical screening of six ''Twilight Zone'' episodes, which took place on November 14, 2019. This was due to using regular television prints for the screening.

* January 11, 2021-: "A '''VIACOMCBS''' COMPANY"

* March 11, 2022-: "'''A PARAMOUNT COMPANY'''" in the Paramount Peak Sans typeface.

* There was an alternative version that is the same as the normal logo, but with the tagline "PRODUCTION + LICENSING + AD SALES & PARTNERSHIPS" (like CBS' "LIVE + ON DEMAND + STREAMING" tagline in the promos) appearing word-by-word in sync with the last 3 notes of the jingle, similar to CBS' 2020 ID. This is basically a reference to the company's evolution to becoming a company that licenses, produces and/or distributes first-run programs, as well as handling national barter advertising sales for third-party companies.

* Like the CBS Television Distribution logo, some first-run shows such as ''Inside Edition'' and ''Entertainment Tonight'' have the final scene/credits crossfade to the logo.

* A short version exists, which starts when the Eyemark zooms out.

* This logo is normally animated at 30fps, but on ''Hot Bench'', as well as Antfood's CBS jingle montage and case study videos on Vimeo, the logo is animated at 24 fps. The latter video only has the Eyemark sliding to the left.
