Background

In 2021, CBS Television Distribution was renamed to CBS Media Ventures.

Logo (January 11, 2021-)

Visuals: On a dark blue background, two blue circles appear and overlap each other with an outlined circle, also in blue, zooming towards the center, form an eye. The three circles zoom in as the CBS Eyemark logo, also in blue, zooms out. The eye moves to the left as the company name (in TT Norms Pro, with "CBS" in bold and "MEDIA VENTURES" in white) wipes to the right, and the parent company byline fades in below.

Bylines:

January 11, 2021-November 10, 2022: "A VIACOMCBS COMPANY"
March 11, 2022-: "A PARAMOUNT COMPANY" in the Paramount Peak Sans typeface.

Variants:

An alternative version which is the same as the normal logo exists, but with the tagline "PRODUCTION + LICENSING + AD SALES & PARTNERSHIPS" (like CBS' "LIVE + ON DEMAND + STREAMING" tagline in the promos prior to late 2022) appearing word-by-word in sync with the last three notes of the jingle, similar to CBS' 2020 ID. This is basically a reference to the company's evolution to becoming a company that licenses, produces and/or distributes first-run programs, as well as handling national barter advertising sales for third-party companies.
Like the CBS Television Distribution logo, some first-run shows such as Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight have the final scene/credits crossfade to the logo.
A short version also exists, which starts when the Eyemark zooms out.
A 24fps version exists, which is seen on Hot Bench, as well as Antfood's CBS jingle montage and case study videos on Vimeo. However, the latter video only has the Eyemark sliding to the left.
On some season 3 episodes of The Drew Barrymore Show, the logo is next to the Flower Films logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation, designed by Gretel.

Audio: A more string-based arrangement of the 2020 CBS jingle by Antfood.

Audio Variants:

Other shows such as Hot Bench and Rachael Ray on some occasions have the end credits theme play over the logo instead.
On some season 3 episodes of The Drew Barrymore Show, the logo is silent.
The final three notes can be heard on Antfood's 2022 mnemonic reel here.
On Antfood's case study video, the four notes play over the music.

Availability:

CBS introduced the logo on the Variety website the day the rebrand was announced and also began replacing the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo on first-run programs it distributes, starting with the January 11, 2021 episodes of Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight, respectively.
Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune also began using the logo starting with their respective January 18, 2021 episodes.
This logo also does not appear on Pictionary, as that just used a copyright notice instead.
So far, this logo has not appeared on any of CBS's back catalog of shows. Newer physical releases of CBS shows have used the Paramount Global Content Distribution logo, while older shows have retained the CBS Television Distribution, Paramount Television or (in some cases) Viacom logos.

+===Background===
+In 2021, [[CBS Television Distribution]] was renamed to '''CBS Media Ventures'''.
+===Logo (January 11, 2021-)===
-<u>Background</u>: CBS Television Distribution is the distribution television division of [[CBS Television Studios|CBS Studios]] established on September 26, 2006 initially as a distribution subsidiary, after CBS Corporation merged [[CBS Paramount Television|CBS Paramount Domestic Television]] with [[King World Productions]], CBS Paramount International Television (spun-off as "[[CBS Studios International]]"), and [[CBS Home Entertainment]]. The merger wouldn't take effect on screen until September 2007, when the King World and CBS Paramount Domestic Television logos were retired in favor of this one below. However, Merv Griffin's ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'' began using the logo in October 2007.

+'''Visuals:''' On a dark blue background, two blue circles appear and overlap each other with an outlined circle, also in blue, zooming towards the center, form an eye. The three circles zoom in as the CBS Eyemark logo, also in blue, zooms out. The eye moves to the left as the company name (in TT Norms Pro, with "'''CBS'''" in bold and "MEDIA VENTURES" in white) wipes to the right, and the parent company byline fades in below.
-<u>Nicknames</u>: "CBS Studio", "Studio of Plastering", "The Amazing Heavenly Studio", "The Sky Studio", "CBS, The Constipated Blues Company!", "Studio of Annoyance"
-<u>Logo</u>: In a studio, with <span style="color:#0000ff>blue</span> lights all over, we see the words "<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">'''CBS'''</span> TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" with "<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">'''CBS'''</span>" in its usual Didot font, with "TELEVISION" next to "<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">'''CBS'''</span>", and "DISTRIBUTION" next to CBS and below "TELEVISION", both are in a Helvetica font, floating above a reflective ground (which ripples at the beginning, like water) in front of a wall with clouds projected on it. The camera zooms out from the logo until it's over. But on the longer version, it stops behind some black girders.
-<u>Variants</u>:
-:*The longer variant has everything the above says, except at the beginning, the camera zooms away from the CBS Eyemark, and "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" zooms back in place, and then the camera moves away from the logo until it stops behind the girders. As it zooms out, the "S" in "<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">'''CBS'''</span>" briefly shines. It can be seen here.
-:*A black & white version is used on B&W shows.
-:*2010-: Another variant starts off with the animation from the extended version, but is in warp speed.
-:*On the newly-revived, but short-lived ''Arsenio Hall Show'', a copyright stamp for Eye Productions, Inc. appears below.
-:*On a recent print of the second part of the two-part TV movie ''The Key to Rebecca'', the logo is strangely squished.
-:*On the Me-TV print of a ''Star Trek'' episode, there is a 1967 copyright at the bottom.
-:*Other ''Star Trek'' variants exist such as with the 1968 Paramount/Norway copyright or the 1978 Paramount copyright.
-:*A widescreen variant exists.
-<u>FX/SFX</u>: The camera zoom-out, and the CGI of the whole studio.
-<u>Music/Sounds</u>: A beautiful 6-note string sounder, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of the music in the CBS Paramount Network Television logo. There are 4 different versions:
-:*There is a short version with a faster pace.
-:*Sometimes, the theme would have either 5 (minus the first note) or all 6 notes.
-:*There is a longer version of the theme where the last two notes are more extended.
-:*The extended version has a brief brass/synth stinger before the longer version of the theme plays.
-:*Some series and movies such as ''Judge Judy'' and ''Hot Bench'', ''The Brady Kids'' on DVD, some season 1 episodes of ''Jake & the Fatman'' on DVD, ''Perry Mason Returns'' on DVD, the fifth thru seventh seasons of ''Walker, Texas Ranger'' on DVD, the second season of ''Dave's World'' on DVD, local syndication reruns of ''CSI: Miami'' and ''CSI: NY'', GMC's reruns of ''Early Edition'' (plastering the CBS Productions logo and removing the [[TriStar Television]] and [[Columbia TriStar Television]] logos), Chiller's airings of ''The (New) Twilight Zone'', and Me-TV's airings of ''Touched by an Angel'' would have the finishing of the end-title theme over the logo.
-:*On the short-lived newly-revived ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', the last 3 notes are used.
-<u>Music/Sounds Variants</u>:
-:*On ''Jeopardy!'', you can still hear part of the 1999 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing, probably due to sloppy plastering. This is unofficially called the "Ghost of the 1999 King World thunderclap".
-:*On Me-TV's print (same as the DVD print) of the ''Hawaii Five-O'' episode "Wednesday, Ladies Free," the 1987 [[Paramount Television (pre-2006)|Paramount Television]] music is used. This happened again on Russian prints of various episodes of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and the "Sins of the Father" episode on ''The Next Level'' Blu-ray, as well as the ''Friday the 13th: The Series'' episode "Hate on Your Dial" on the Season 3 DVD. Either occurrence is most likely due to a plastering error.
-:*A "high-tone" version of the short version jingle is on Acorn Media's DVD release of the mini-series ''Washington: Behind Closed'' Doors.
-:*A double high-tone (very high-pitched) and slightly faster version of the short version jingle exists on a recent print of the two-part TV movie ''The Key to Rebecca''.
-:*A silent variant exists; On season 7 of ''Wings'' on DVD, the logo is silent. It was also silent on a 2013 episode of ''Dr. Phil'', because it followed a memorial segment for a consultant for the show, who had recently passed away. This also happened on the September 11th episode of the 2013 version of ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', due to a moment of silence held for those who died 12 years ago on that day. The other logos seen before this one were in silence as well. This can also be seen on the episodes of Season 6 of ''Have Gun, Will Travel'' on DVD.
-:*One episode of ''The Love Boat'' had the [[Worldvision Enterprises|Worldvision]] "Whoosh Globe" music playing over it instead due to sloppy plastering.
-:*A Spanish print of ''The Love Boat'' S2 episode "Love Me, Love My Dog/Poor Little Rich Girl/The Decision" has the 1988 Worldvision Enterprises theme in low-tone playing over this.
-:*One episode of ''Gomer Pyle-USMC'' on Me-TV had the CBS/Paramount music play over it instead due to sloppy plastering.
-:*A Russian print of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' S1 EP3 has the "Wigga-Wigga" theme over this, continuing from the "V of Steel"; it's presumably due to the audio track being from a different source.
-:*On a French print of the TV movie ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Murdered Madam'', the warp-speed "V of Steel" theme plays over the logo due to a plastering error.
-:*On June 3, 2010 Encore Westerns airing one episode Rawhide 1990 Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" short music during bad plastering
-:*On a H&I print one episode Star Trek: The Next Generation during the theme is low tone.
+'''Bylines:'''
+* January 11, 2021-November 10, 2022: "A '''VIACOMCBS''' COMPANY"
+* March 11, 2022-: "'''A PARAMOUNT COMPANY'''" in the Paramount Peak Sans typeface.
+'''Variants:'''
+* An alternative version which is the same as the normal logo exists, but with the tagline "PRODUCTION + LICENSING + AD SALES & PARTNERSHIPS" (like CBS' "LIVE + ON DEMAND + STREAMING" tagline in the promos prior to late 2022) appearing word-by-word in sync with the last three notes of the jingle, similar to CBS' 2020 ID. This is basically a reference to the company's evolution to becoming a company that licenses, produces and/or distributes first-run programs, as well as handling national barter advertising sales for third-party companies.
+* Like the CBS Television Distribution logo, some first-run shows such as ''Inside Edition'' and ''Entertainment Tonight'' have the final scene/credits crossfade to the logo.
+* A short version also exists, which starts when the Eyemark zooms out.
+* A 24fps version exists, which is seen on ''Hot Bench'', as well as Antfood's CBS jingle montage and case study videos on Vimeo. However, the latter video only has the Eyemark sliding to the left.
+* On some season 3 episodes of ''The Drew Barrymore Show'', the logo is next to the [[Flower Films]] logo.
+'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation, designed by Gretel.
-<u>Availability</u>: Ultra common.
+'''Audio:''' A more string-based arrangement of the 2020 CBS jingle by Antfood.
-:*It appears mostly on first-run syndicated programming from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, such as ''Judge Judy'', ''Dr. Phil'', ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''Hot Bench'', and ''The Doctors'', among others.
-:*It is also seen on ex-King World distributed shows like: ''Jeopardy!'', ''Wheel of Fortune'', and ''Rachael Ray''. Don't expect to find this much on ''Inside Edition'', as they usually like to fade to black after the host wraps up. Also don't expect this on the now concluded ''Oprah Winfrey Show''.
-:*It can also be seen on local reruns of ''Half & Half'', ''One on One'', and ''Maximum Exposure'' (the latter title to have followed after the Paramount Domestic Television logo of the time). This logo is also seen on ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' in local syndication, which plasters over the King World logo. However, it was followed by the 2006 King World logo on some TV Land reruns. It was also seen on the remastered version of ''Star Trek: The Original Series''.
-:*The extended version is seen on their website (without music) and was seen on the final two seasons of ''Montel''.
-:*This logo can also be seen together with its then-current network television counterpart's "Wallpaper" logo before it on syndicated reruns of the ''CSI'' franchise.
-:*The short version should be found on every remaining release of the original "Five-O," from #4 to the end, along with most DVD releases of older CBS-owned programming from late April 2008 onward. Also seen until September 2011 on syndicated reruns of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' in which this logo replaced the 1987 Paramount Television logo. This happened again on that said show's ''Next Level'' Blu-ray.
-:*This logo can also be seen together with the 1998 King World logo before it on some reruns of ''Early Edition'' on Syfy.
-:*This logo can also be seen together with the 2003 Paramount Network Television logo before it on syndicated reruns of the first two seasons of ''Numb3rs'' and syndicated reruns of the first season of ''Everybody Hates Chris''.
-:*This logo also plasters over Viacom logos on Viacom-produced shows on DVD, which were seasons 2-9 of ''Matlock'', the Acorn Media DVD of the 1981 miniseries ''East of Eden'', seasons 1-2 of ''Cannon'', seasons 4-7 of ''Sabrina The Teenage Witch'', seasons 1-2 of ''Jake & The Fatman'', the 1992 film ''Diagnosis Murder: A Diagnosis of Murder'', the made-for-TV ''Perry Mason'' movies, and the Kino Lorber DVDs of ''The Master'', among others. CBS Drama (UK) airings of ''Matlock'' also use this logo, as did a November 2017 Me-TV airing (and possibly DVDs and Blu-Ray releases) of ''Return to Mayberry''. However, this follows the "V of Steel" and "Wigga Wigga" on the ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' DVDs and Decades airings and the "V of Doom" and "Wigga Wigga" on seasons 3-5 DVDs of ''Cannon'', and also follows the Children's Video Library logo on Hulu's print of ''Thanksgiving in the Land of Oz''.
-:*This also plasters the [[Rysher Entertainment]] logo on ''Nash Bridges: The Fourth Season'' on DVD and on H&I airings.
-:*The second season of ''Dave's World'' on DVD, the first and second seasons of ''Caroline in the City'' on DVD, Get TV airings of ''The Kid Who Loved Christmas'', Start TV airings of the 1st 2 seasons of ''Early Edition'', Decades airings of ''Matt Houston'' (with the 1984 [[Warner Bros. Television|Warner Bros. Television Distribution]] logo before or after this logo) and ''Brooklyn Bridge'' (with the 1990 Paramount Television logo after this logo), Me-TV airings of season 1 of ''Touched by an Angel'' and ''The (New) Twilight Zone'' also used this logo.
-:*Also seen the black and white variant using one episode Rawhide aired Encore Westerns June 3, 2010.
+'''Audio Variants:'''
+* Other shows such as ''Hot Bench'' and ''Rachael Ray'' on some occasions have the end credits theme play over the logo instead.
+* On some season 3 episodes of ''The Drew Barrymore Show'', the logo is silent.
+* The final three notes can be heard on Antfood's 2022 mnemonic reel [https://vimeo.com/778992682 here].
+* On Antfood's case study video, the four notes play over the music.

Newer physical releases of CBS shows have used the [[Paramount Global Content Distribution]] logo, while older shows have retained the [[CBS Television Distribution]], [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] or (in some cases) [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] logos.
+{{Chronology|[[CBS Television Distribution]]}}
-<u>Editor's Note</u>: This logo is very beautifully animated, and it's clear a lot of time and effort was put into designing the CGI set, which is reminiscent of the 1997 CBS Productions logo. However, many logo enthusiasts detest it for its frequent plastering over many companies' logos, notably ones from Viacom, Paramount Television, and Worldvision.
