* Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end. Even after the logo faded (or cut) to black, the timpani's echo could still be heard. It is different for both the filmed and videotaped variants, with the audio quality being clearer for the latter. | * Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end.

* The very first version of this logo featured the "Pinball" music from the first logo as a placeholder and was used eventually until late 1978 (and was also often used when replacing the original "Pinball" logo, possibly a bad plastering error). This variant is known as the "V of Pinball". | * The very first version of this logo featured the "Pinball" music from the first logo as a placeholder and was used eventually until late 1978 (and was also often used when replacing the original "Pinball" logo, possibly a bad plastering error).

* The very first version of the normal 1976 music | * '''1976-1981:''' The very first version of the normal 1976 music was slightly faster-paced and low-pitched. This was used on the black and white and early color variants of the logo, and it was also used in tandem with the standard filmed variant from the mid-to-late 1970s. | ||

** Late 1970s-early 1980s broadcasts of ''The Alvin Show'' and international broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'', ''Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'', ''The Funky Phantom'', ''The Super Globetrotters'', and ''Help!... It's The Hair Bear Bunch!'' also ended with this logo; 16mm prints of at least the former two shows retain the logo. It is unknown whether it appeared on ''The Banana Splits and Friends Show'', ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' or ''Space Ghost and Dino Boy'' reruns from the era (apparently, for the latter, Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure cut the logos). Again, check old 16mm prints. | ** Late 1970s-early 1980s broadcasts of ''The Alvin Show'' and international broadcasts of ''Wacky Races'', ''Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines'', ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', ''Josie & The Pussycats'', ''Speed Buggy'', ''Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'', ''The Funky Phantom'', ''The Super Globetrotters'', and ''Help!...

** The low-tone variant was used from 1976 to 1978 on syndicated prints of shows such as ''The Millionare'' and ''Hawaii Five-O''. It decreased in usage through 1979 and the early '80s, but it was still used on ''Hawaii Five-O'' as late as 1981. | |||

** The videotaped version appeared on ''Perry Mason'' on Me-TV, but since 2015, they have started to use remastered DVD prints with the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo.
