'''Logo:''' We start out with a screen, divided half black/{{font color|purple|purple}} gradient on top and half {{font color|silver|silver}} on the bottom with a bright light flare shining between. The {{font color|silver|silver}} part then rotates counter-clockwise (a la [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment#CBS/Fox Video|CBS/Fox Video]]), revealing it is a steel version of the "'''V'''" logo. The word "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Viacom'''</span>" flies in from the upper-left of the screen and places itself under the "'''V'''", and the "'''V'''" shines. | '''Logo:''' We start out with a screen, divided half black/{{font color|purple|purple}} gradient on top and half {{font color|silver|silver}} on the bottom with a bright light flare shining between.

* '''''Silent Variant'':''' Extremely rare. Originally, it could only be seen on syndicated TV prints of ''The Stepford Wives'' (the 1975 version), though it was recently spotted on the Forces TV print of the ''Hogan's Heroes'' episode, "The Most Escape Proof Camp I've Ever Escaped From", which is from season 2, although Fox Classics’ print has the theme present on it. | * '''''Silent Variant'':''' Extremely rare.

* '''''Warp Speed Variant'':''' This can currently be found on some episodes of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV, Decades (occasionally) and H&I. It's also seen on older prints of Matlock (season 1-5, 1990 episodes; current TV prints use the 8th logo instead, while the DVD of S1 uses CBS/Paramount and every other season on DVD uses CTD instead). Oddly, FETV's print of the ''Matlock'' S1 episode, "The Don, Part 1" had this preserved. Many Season 3 and 4 episodes of ''Matlock'' on CBS Justice (UK) as well as a few season 2 episodes and 2 season 1 episodes keep this logo intact. Its spin-off ''Jake and the Fatman'' (DVDs and TV prints of seasons 1 and 2 use CTD instead.), ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' (including a few early season 3 episodes), and a Brazilian VHS of ''Fatal Confession: A Father Dowling Mystery'' (and DVD print) all have this logo. This is also preserved on the season 1 DVD release of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'', preceded by CTD and can be seen on the other two seasons as well. Decades airings use the DVD prints of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' as well. It was also seen on a 2016 British Horror Channel airing of ''Murder by Moonlight'', and was presumably present on the film's original CBS broadcast. It is unknown if this is preserved on season 3 and 1990 episodes of S4 of ''Jake and the Fatman'' on DVD. The "DISTRIBUTED BY" variant is ultra rare, as it's only known to exist on ''Superboy''. However, the show's DVD release from Warner Home Video retains it. | * '''''Warp Speed Variant'':''' This can currently be found on some episodes of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV, Decades (occasionally) and H&I.

* '''''Warp Speed Variant (Extended)'':''' Extremely rare, usually plastered by either the "Wigga-Wigga", Paramount Domestic Television, CBS/Paramount Domestic/Network Television ("Eye in the Sky" or "Wallpaper"), or CBS Television Distribution logos, though they have been spotted on a few episodes of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV and H&I, and the 4 wipe version was spotted on the Australian television print of the | * '''''Warp Speed Variant (Extended)'':''' Extremely rare, usually plastered by either the "Wigga-Wigga", Paramount Domestic Television, CBS/Paramount Domestic/Network Television ("Eye in the Sky" or "Wallpaper"), or CBS Television Distribution logos, though they have been spotted on a few episodes of ''Rawhide'' on Me-TV and H&I, and the 4 wipe version was spotted on the Australian television print of the ''Hogan's Heroes'' episode "Request Permission to Escape", which is the last episode of season 1. When the episode aired in the UK on Forces TV, the last wipe was cut off. | ||

It was also seen on Season 3 and 4 episodes of ''Matlock'', when last aired on CBS Justice in the UK. | * '''''Sped-Up Variant'':''' Seen on ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Poisoned Pen''.
