Their respective names and logos, however, were kept. After the CBS and [[ViacomCBS|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 moniker 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 "[[ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group|CBS Studios International]]" 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. Although, the post-2006 episodes of shows like ''CSI'' still kept the copyright to '[[CBS Broadcasting|CBS Broadcasting, Inc.]]' The logos would make their debut by early summer '06, with CBS Paramount Television's "Eye in the Sky" syndication logo debuting on May 29th, 2006 - Memorial Day on that day's run of syndicated daytime programming from the company, retiring this one in September 2007 when the [[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]] logo debuted, since its formation on September 26, 2006 by [[King World Productions|King World]], CBS Paramount Domestic Television, CBS Paramount International Television, and [[CBS Home Entertainment]]. The network television logo, "Wallpaper," wouldn't appear on TV screens until June 11, 2006 on the new season of ''The 4400'' on USA. The label went defunct on May 15, 2009, when the main CBS Paramount Television group and its network television unit were reincorporated as "[[CBS Studios|CBS Television Studios]]" by dropping the Paramount name and logo. The [[ViacomCBS|post-2006 Viacom]] relaunched a new version of [[Paramount Television Studios|Paramount Television]] four years later. |

Nicknames: "Eye in the Sky", "CBS Eyemark-Paramount Mountain Combo"
Logo: We see a large bluish CBS Eye in a cloudscape reminiscent of the 2002 Paramount Ultra Majestic Mountain. In the foreground, the words "CBS Paramount" (each companies' name is in its respective typeface) appear above a line which has "TELEVISION" written underneath. The company name has an Eyemark to the left of it, and a Paramount print logo at the right. "CBS Paramount TELEVISION" and the print logos slowly zoom out together, all of which are white letters outlined in gold. The entire logo is 3D, and a lens flare shines over the entire background.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The light effects and the words zooming out. It's all CGI.
Music/Sounds: A five-note fanfare that sounds a little like the ending of the then-current CBS Evening News theme. The logo may also have the end theme playing over it, or no music at all.
Music/Sound Variants:
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: The logo is somehow pretty dated, even for its time. The print logos and "CBS Paramount TELEVISION" don't appear to be CGI, and look more like they were tacked on over the CGI "Eye in the Sky" background using simple chyron effects. Also, the Gulf+Western version has no reason to exist.
Nickname: "CGI Wallpaper", "CBS Eyemark-Paramount Mountain Combo II", "CBS Paramount Wallpaper"
Logo: 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", a line, and "TELEVISION" below that, all of which is in the same design as the Domestic TV logo with the exception of the print logos in the foreground. The company name quickly zooms out to the center of the screen; "CBS" first, then "Paramount TELEVISION" second. The background quickly fades to reveal a navy blue environment made up of a curved wallpaper of CBS Eyes and Paramount print logos in a pattern shining light rays filling the screen. The name would later zoom-in slowly.
Trivia: The "Eyemark/Mountain" logo is a throwback to the 1959-1962 "CBS Eyemark Wallpaper" logo.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The zooming and light effects. The words look appropriate this time against the more two-dimensional background.
Music/Sounds: An airy, six-note jingle followed by a harp. It sounds kind of similar to the music of the 1997 and 2005 Buena Vista Television logos. Often times, the end theme plays over it, such as the 2006-2009 seasons of the CSI franchise, and the DVD releases of the second season of both Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley (plastering the Paramount Television "Split Box II" and "Blue Mountain" respectively) and the third and fourth seasons of Walker, Texas Ranger (plastering the 1995-97 CBS Productions logo on season 3 and the Columbia Pictures Television logo on season 4). On season three of The 4400, this logo was silent as well as on some episodes of current Me-TV reruns of The Untouchables (as well as the DVD releases), also being silent on a few other DVD releases such as seasons 3 & 4 of JAG, season one of Gunsmoke, and the 2nd episode of Aliens in America.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Common for the network version and uncommon for the domestic version.
Editor's Note: This is actually a nicely made logo that's at least preferable to the above logo and CTD. This logo was also used for CBS Paramount Domestic Television from November 2006-August 19, 2007.
