I just saw the beginning of the unaired Ultra pilot has a finishing date on it, which seems it was briefly debuted on May 2, 2006 (until it appear on TV screens until June 11th on season 3 of The 4400).

On August 10, 2004, [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]], Inc. formed "[[CBS Paramount International Television]]" as a merger of two successful international television companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount International Television]] and [[CBS Broadcast International]]. That same date, Viacom formed the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group as a result of two television production companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Network Television]] and [[CBS Productions]]. Their respective names and logos, however, were kept. After the CBS and [[Viacom (2006-2019)|Viacom]] split was made official on December 31, 2005, beginning on January 17, 2006, the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group and Paramount Domestic Television became part of the new semi-independent CBS Corporation. Because of this new ownership, it was decided that CBS would add their name to the studio's television unit, thus creating '''CBS Paramount Television''', consisting of CBS Paramount Network Television, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, and CBS Paramount International Television (spun-off as "[[CBS Studios International]]" (now [[Paramount Global Content Distribution]]) in 2009). The transition was quick but gradually done, with copyrights to "CBS Studios Inc." appearing on shows such as ''Entertainment Tonight'' as early as February. Although, the post-2006 episodes of shows like ''CSI'' still kept the copyright to '[[CBS Broadcasting|CBS Broadcasting, Inc.]]' The logos would make their debut by early summer '06, with CBS Paramount Television's "Eye in the Sky" syndication logo debuting on May 29th, 2006 - Memorial Day on that day's run of syndicated daytime programming from the company, retiring this one in September 2007 when the [[CBS Television Distribution]] logo debuted, since its formation on September 26, 2006 by [[King World Productions|King World]], CBS Paramount Domestic Television, CBS Paramount International Television, and [[CBS Home Entertainment]]. The network television logo, "Wallpaper," wouldn't appear on TV screens until June 11, 2006 on season 3 of ''The 4400'' on USA. The label went defunct on May 15, 2009, when the main CBS Paramount Television group and its network television unit were reincorporated as "[[CBS Studios|CBS Television Studios]]" by dropping the Paramount name and logo. Viacom relaunched a new version of [[Paramount Television Studios|Paramount Television]] four years later. | On August 10, 2004, [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]], Inc. formed "[[CBS Paramount International Television]]" as a merger of two successful international television companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount International Television]] and [[CBS Broadcast International]].

The background quickly fades to a {{color|navy|navy blue}} background with a wallpaper of CBS Eyes and Paramount print logos in a curved pattern and shining light rays filling the screen. The name later zooms in slowly. | ||

'''Logo:''' We see a large {{color|blue|bluish}} CBS Eye in a cloudscape reminiscent of the 2002 Paramount logo. In the foreground, the words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''CBS ''Paramount'''''}}" appear above a line which has "TELEVISION" written underneath, in the same design as the Network TV logo. The company name has an Eyemark to the left of it, and a Paramount print logo at the right, and everything is in white with a {{color|gold}} outline. The text and the print logos slowly zoom out together. The entire logo is in 3D, and a lens flare shines over the entire background. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* On the digitally-restored-and-remastered ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', a widescreen version exists - with no audio - and in several variations: one with "(C) *[YEAR] Paramount Pictures Corporation" below, one with the Paramount and Norway copyright and the pre-1968 Paramount logo, one without a copyright, and one with the late-1960s copyright information and the Gulf+Western byline at the bottom of the screen. The Gulf+Western variant of this logo was last seen on TV Land's reruns of ''Star Trek: The Original Series''. The same variant plastered the 1968 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] "Split Box" logo. | |||
* A print version existed on a few ''Star Trek'' games. One of them was ''Tactical Assault'' for the PSP. | |||
* A black and white variant exists. | |||
'''Technique:''' CGI. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A five-note fanfare that sounds a little like the ending of the then-current CBS Evening News theme, composed by Gregory Smith. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' | |||
* Some shows like ''Dr. Phil'' and ''Judge Joe Brown'' have a different arrangement of the theme. | |||
* A longer version starts with a low brass note (A) and segues all the way to the music. | |||
* Sometimes, the logo may also have the show's end theme playing over it, or no music at all. | |||
* Sometimes, the 1987 Paramount Television jingle is heard, as well as many other music from its logos (mostly the 1987 one), due to a plastering error. | |||
* On the ''Star Trek: The Original Series'' episode "Arena" which appears on the Blu-ray release of ''Star Trek: TOS - The Roddenberry Vault'', the 2007 [[CBS Television Distribution]] fanfare is heard over the logo, due to a reverse plastering error. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' There is confirmed to be an even longer version of this theme, which starts with a buildup, then the five-note theme which has subsequently become utilized in the music of the CTD logo, until then continuing like the long version, with ambience being heard after the last note. This is heard with the CBS Television Distribution logo on the format sales presentations to ''The Brady Bunch'' and ''Becker''. | |||
'''Availability:''' | |||
* It used to appear mostly on first-run syndicated programming from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, which were ''Judge Judy'', ''Dr. Phil'', ''Montel'', and ''Entertainment Tonight'', respectively. | |||
* Also seen several times on ''Star Trek: The Original Series'' on MeTV. | |||
* The version with no audio is seen on reruns of ''Twin Peaks'' and S1 of ''Beauty and the Beast'' on Chiller and the S1 DVD releases of ''Girlfriends'' (intact on Pluto TV airings), ''Family Ties'', ''Sabrina The Teenage Witch'', and the S2 DVD release of ''Dynasty''. | |||
* This is also seen on S1 DVD releases of the original ''Hawaii Five-O'' and newer S1 reruns of said show, ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', and S1 episodes of ''Bosom Buddies'' on MeTV and DVD. | |||
* Episodes of the 2000 series of the UK version of ''Wheel of Fortune'' aired on Challenge have this succeeding the 2000 [[Scottish Television Enterprises|Scottish Television]] logo. | |||
** CBS Paramount International Television owned the international distribution rights to ''Wheel of Fortune''. | |||
** However, due to allegations against the presenter John Leslie of ''Wheel of Fortune'' at that time, this season is no longer aired, with the rest using [[CBS Studios International]] or just the Scottish Television logo instead. | |||
* It has also more recently been spotted on some episodes of ''Perry Mason'' on MeTV and FETV (black and white variant). | |||
* The version with the fanfare can oddly be seen on episodes of ''Survivor'' on DVD that aired as late as 2008. | |||
