* '''''Regular Variant (One Wipe)'':''' It is currently seen on ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV, Decades (occasionally) and H&I. It's also currently seen on most episodes of ''The Phil Silvers Show'' on Me-TV, Forces TV (United Kingdom) and occasionally seen on Decades, and it is preserved on the season 2 Shout! Factory DVD of the show, and on most episodes from seasons 3-4 of ''TPSS'' on DVD (season 1 on DVD and the British DVD releases use CTD instead), and was on most episodes of ''The Beverly Hillbillies'', as well as ''Gunsmoke'' (mostly color reruns) on Me-TV before they were issued updated prints by CBS, although for ''The Beverly Hillbillies'', it can still be seen on some episodes, and as for ''Gunsmoke'', it can still appear on certain episodes from season 14 (the third color season) onward. It was spotted on the 1989 film ''Sonny Boy'' on TCM as well as AMC, and has been spotted on syndicated prints of Cannon films, such as ''Superman IV: The Quest for Peace''. This can also be seen on most episodes of ''The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams'' on the recent DVD releases. Seen on '80s prints of other Viacom-distributed shows, including at one point in time, episodes of ''The Andy Griffith Show'' (particularly reruns on TBS), as well as episodes of ''I Love Lucy'' on Nick at Nite (as well as AMC briefly), ''Have Gun-Will Travel'' on Encore Westerns, various prints of ''The Cosby Show'' and ''Roseanne'', ''Rawhide'' on the Hallmark Channel as well as Encore Westerns, ''The Millionaire'' on TV Land, and various episodes of ''Hogan’s Heroes'' on Forces TV in the United Kingdom and Fox Classics in Australia, among possible others. 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 Alvin Show'', ''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, and some from the earlier part of 1990 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. It was also seen on some episodes of ''Perry Mason'' on Me-TV before they were issued updated prints by CBS, but these prints can still be seen as of recently on FETV. This logo (and its extended variants) is also seen on various game shows syndicated by Viacom from 1986-1990, including ''Split Second'', ''Double Dare'' (this includes recent prints on iTunes), and ''Remote Control''. The B&W variant can be found at the end of select VHS tapes of ''The Andy Griffith Show'' that were released by Premier Promotions, including notably ''The Andy Griffith Show Collector's Series Volume 12: Mayberry Classics'', and was recently spotted on a Season 08 episode of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV. 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'', the 1987 Cannon film ''Three Kinds of Heat'', which can be found on Netflix UK, Amazon Prime 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''.

* '''''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 original version with 4 wipes is extremely rare, and 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 various game shows syndicated by Viacom from 1986-1990, including ''Split Second'', ''Double Dare'' (this includes recent prints on iTunes), and ''Remote Control''. The 3 wipes variant was also recently spotted on an FETV broadcast of the ''Perry Mason'' episode, "The Case of the Poison Pen Pal".
