On August 10, 2004, [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]], Inc. formed "[[CBS Paramount International Television]]" as a merger of two successful international television companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount International Television]] and [[CBS Broadcast International]]. That same date, Viacom formed the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group as a result of two television production companies: [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Network Television]] and [[CBS Productions]]. Their respective names and logos, however, were kept. After the CBS and [[Viacom (2006-2019)|Viacom]] split was made official on December 31, 2005, beginning on January 17, 2006, the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group and Paramount Domestic Television became part of the new semi-independent CBS Corporation. Because of this new ownership, it was decided that CBS would add their name to the studio's television unit, thus creating '''CBS Paramount Television''', consisting of CBS Paramount Network Television, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, and CBS Paramount International Television (spun-off as "[[CBS Studios International]]" (now [[Paramount Global Content Distribution]]) in 2009). The transition was quick but gradually done, with copyrights to "CBS Studios Inc." appearing on shows such as ''Entertainment Tonight'' as early as February |

Viacom relaunched a new version of Paramount Television four years later.
Visuals: On a black screen, we see the CBS Eyemark logo zooming out to the middle. We later see two streaks of light pass through the words "CBS Paramount" (with the company names in their respective typeface), a line, and "TELEVISION" below it. The company name quickly zooms out to the center of the screen, with "CBS" zooming out first, and "Paramount TELEVISION" zooming out second. The background quickly fades to a navy blue background with a wallpaper of CBS Eyes and Paramount print logos in a curved pattern and shining light rays filling the screen. The name later zooms in slowly.
Trivia: The "Eyemark/Mountain" logo is a throwback to the 1959-1962 "CBS Eyemark Wallpaper" logo. It's also worth noting that this logo was initially used to represent CBS Paramount Network Television.
Variants:
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: An airy, six-note jingle followed by a harp, composed by Richard Marvin, who also composed the scores of U-571 and Surrogates.
Audio Variants:
Availability: This logo was rather prevalent on programs from CBS and The CW during the 2006-2009 television seasons.
Visuals: We see a large bluish CBS Eye in a cloudscape reminiscent of the 2002 Paramount logo. In the foreground, the words "CBS Paramount" appear above a line which has "TELEVISION" written underneath, in the same design as the Network TV logo. The company name has an Eyemark to the left of it, and a Paramount print logo at the right, and everything is in white with a gold outline. The text and the print logos slowly zoom out together. The entire logo is in 3D, and a lens flare shines over the entire background.
Trivia: This logo was used to represent CBS Paramount Domestic Television.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A majestic five-note fanfare that sounds a little like the ending of the then-current CBS Evening News theme, composed by Gregory Smith.
Audio Variants:
Audio Trivia: There is confirmed to be an even longer version of this theme, which starts with a buildup, then the five-note theme which has subsequently become utilized in the music of the CTD logo, until then continuing like the long version, with ambience being heard after the last note. This is heard with the CBS Television Distribution logo on the format sales presentations to The Brady Bunch and Becker.
Availability: It used to appear mostly on first-run syndicated programming from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, which were Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Montel, and Entertainment Tonight, respectively.
