'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see CBS' huge Eyemark logo, with a second Eyemark replacing its pupil. As the camera zooms in on the second Eyemark's pupil, we see it opening up like a camera shutter to reveal the words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''CBS TELEVISION NETWORK'''"}} in the Didot font. The pupil later closes.

'''Logo:''' We see a flash of light, which dies down to reveal the CBS Eyemark logo (with the light coming from the center of it) with "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Font color|#9c3f17|'''CBS PRODUCTIONS'''}}}}" next to and below it, floating above a floor in a {{Font color|blue|blue}} and white studio with a CBS logo pattern (with the color variations of the Eyemark) on the walls. The text is in the network's familiar Didot font and the entire logo is {{Font color|#9c3f17|brown}}. The logo then slowly zooms away.

'''Variants:'''
* Starting in 1999, a better-known version debuted, which omits the light. The logo is redone and in a lighter shade of {{Font color|brown|reddish-brown}}, and the font is smaller, with the metallic silver outline more visible. ''Now & Again'' continued to use the original version, and ''Walker, Texas Ranger'' continued to use the original version until its end in 2001. Interestingly enough, ''Snowden's Christmas'' used the original version on the VHS release despite the CBS premiere used the 1999 logo.

* Mostly none or the outro of the end title theme from any show playing over the logo until 2009. On occasion, the music score from the 97-98 on-air look plays over the logo, along with voice actor Mark Elliott reading a short promo.

* 2009-2019: A light orchestral sounder, played by low strings, low horns and a piano with a bang of a timpani and a clash of cymbals. It sounds a little bit like the 3-note CBS jingle, which was used between 1992 and 2020. This debuted on the second season of ''The Cleaner''.
