* On WPIX's print of the ''Honeymooners'' episode "The Sleepwalker", the logo freezes before it is fully formed. The audio is distorted in this variant. It's likely an error in production.

'''Availability:''' Quite common. This logo is quite infamous for plastering the older Viacom logos. Many of the shows that had this logo have been updated with either the Paramount Domestic Television, the CBS Paramount Domestic or Network Television logos ("Eye in the Sky" or "Wallpaper") or CBS Television Distribution logos by now, especially on DVD releases, but it is still seen on some shows and TV movies.

* '''''Regular Variant'':''' It was spotted on the film ''I'm All Right Jack'' on TCM, the miniseries ''The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw'' on Grit (and possibly the DVD release), two episodes of ''Cannon'' on the season 3 DVD (one episode on Me-TV, S03 E03,) syndicated prints of Cannon Group films such as ''Masters of the Universe'', and one episode of ''The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams'' on DVD. It has been spotted on reruns of color episodes of ''Gunsmoke'' on Me-TV and TV Land, albeit in split screen form on the latter channel, and was also spotted on ''The Alvin Show'' when rerun on Nickelodeon. However, recent prints of ''Gunsmoke'' episodes from Season 12 (the first color season) and Season 13 and are now restored and now use CTD, though it can possibly still be spotted on almost all other episodes from Season 14 on (needs further confirmation). It was also seen when ''Have Gun-Will Travel'' aired on Encore Westerns in the early 2010s, as well as some episodes of ''Perry Mason'', ''Hogan's Heroes'' (these prints now air on U.K. television network Forces TV and Australian cable channel Fox Classics), and ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' on Me-TV and occasionally Decades before they both were issued updated prints by CBS (though it can be still be found in the majority of color episodes of ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' (S05-S09) and formerly on select episodes of ''Gomer Pyle: U.S.M.C.''; for the latter show, all episodes have been restored and use either CBS-Paramount or CTD. FETV prints of ''Perry Mason'' still have this logo intact on many episodes. 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 1991-95, and some prints of older ones, but DVDs plaster it with the CTD logo. The high pitched variant was recently spotted on a British television broadcast of California Gold Rush. This can also be found on Family Affair, My Three Sons (it also appeared on Season 11, Episode 12 of that show after the 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 Pictures VHS of ''Rent-a-Kid'', the Prism Entertainment VHS of Memories of ''Murder'', VHS copies of ''The Right Connections'', ''The Operation'' (AKA: ''Bodily Harm'') (2007 Lifetime prints had the 7th logo), 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), the Vidmark Entertainment VHS of ''Murder by Moonlight'', and international prints of ''Rawhide'', along with some recent prints on Heroes & Icons.

* '''''Warp Speed Variant'':''' It's currently found on ''Matlock'' on WGN America, Me-TV, Decades, FETV, and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (it plasters over the the 7th logo on many episodes from seasons 1 to 4, along with earlier season 5 episodes, and the 5th logo on later syndicated prints of the pilot episode for that show; DVDs use the CBS/Paramount "Wallpaper" logo for season 1 while 2-9 have CTD). Some episodes from seasons 6 and 7, and possibly 8, use the regular variant instead. Also seen on the first 3 seasons and early season 4 episodes of ''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'' on Antenna TV (DVDs have the CBS/Paramount "Eye In The Sky" logo for season 1, while seasons 2-3 have the "Wallpaper" logo and 4-7 have CTD. Hulu prints use the CBS/Paramount "Wallpaper" logo for season 1). It's also seen on the first five seasons of ''Diagnosis: Murder'' on DVD, Encore Suspense, Me-TV, Decades (occasionally), and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (however, DVDs of season 2 use the CBS/Paramount "Wallpaper" logo instead). It was also preserved at the end of the DVD print of the ''Jake and the Fatman'' S4 episode, "It Never Entered My Mind", which is included on the ''Diagnosis: Murder'' season 1 DVD. 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'':''' The version where the LaFontaine voice-over cuts in earlier was formerly seen on S1 episodes of ''The Twilight Zone'' on Syfy (though some episodes were known to contain the 2nd logo); recently, Syfy and Me-TV had acquired new, updated prints with the CBS Television Distribution logo, making the logo quite rare. It may still be intact on some episodes of ''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'', and was 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. This was also seen on at least one episode of ''Rawhide'' on H&I and the TV movie ''My Body, My Child'' on True Movies UK. This variant appeared on some Season 2 episodes of ''Matlock'' and some season 2 episodes of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' when aired on CBS Justice (UK).
