CBS Studios: Difference between revisions

===Background===

On May 15, 2009, the post-2006 CBS Corporation (formerly the "old" [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]]) ended its three-year licensing rights to the Paramount name and logo from the post-2006 [[Viacom (2006-2019)|Viacom]], which owned [[Paramount Pictures]]. As a result, the [[CBS Paramount Television|CBS Paramount Television Group]] and its network television arm were rebranded as "'''CBS Television Studios'''". In addition, the then-revived [[CBS Paramount International Television]] was renamed "[[CBS Studios International]]", and the revived [[CBS Productions]] was reincorporated as its in-name-only unit. For the first time on network television since 1966, the "Paramountain" or anything resembling Paramount's symbol is nowhere to be seen; however, the post-2006 Viacom relaunched [[Paramount Television Studios|Paramount's television division]] in 2013. New and returning television shows have copyright for CBS Studios Inc. with exceptions of the new seasons of the ''CSI'' franchise, which have copyright for CBS Broadcasting Inc. On October 8, 2020, ViacomCBS (now [[Paramount Global]]) announced that CBS Television Studios would be rebranded to simply "'''CBS Studios'''", as part of a major rebrand that unifies all CBS operations and divisions.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} background, we see the CBS Eyemark logo zooming in from the right to the left at warp speed. Then the text "'''CBS'''" (in the Akzidenz-Grotesk font), with the words "TELEVISION STUDIOS" (in Myriad) below and the Eyemark next to it, zooms out to its distant position with reflections fading in below them afterward.

* A warp-speed version of the fanfare exists.

* S6-S9 episodes of ''CSI: NY'' have the normal logo with the short music.

* CBS' own network (including the voiceover announcements until the fall of 2020), The CW, ABC and Fox used their generic themes.

* On ''Console Wars'', the opening theme is playing with a whoosh sound and zapping noises on it.

'''Logo:''' Same as the 1st logo, but animated differently. On an animating background in different shades of {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, we see the CBS Eyemark, slightly tilted, zooming in with the same movement as the 1st logo. Then it segues into a bright flash that soon dissipates, revealing the text (with "TELEVISION STUDIOS" now in a {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}-black gradient) rotating into their positions. A white line is drawn in the center below the logo and the byline "{{Font|Serif|'''A V{{Small|IACOM}}CBS C{{Small|OMPANY}}'''}}" slides in from the line, similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.

'''Technique:''' Like before, this logo uses CGI animation.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. This logo has a short life span due to the rebranding to CBS Studios.
