===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.

Visuals: On a blue moving background consisting of multiple shady, reflecting curved stripes, the shiny steel blue CBS Eyemark logo zooms in from the right to the left at warp speed. Then the logo, which is the company name (with "CBS" in Akzidenz-Grotesk and "TELEVISION STUDIOS" in Myriad) and the Eyemark to the left to it, zooms out to its distant position with reflections fading in below them afterward.
Variants:
Technique: CGI animation.
Audio: A 6-note horn/orchestral sounder with a timpani roll and suspended cymbal roll on the second-to-last note and the ringing of a bell at the end; composed by James Horner (and bears a vague resemblance to the 2006 CBS Evening News theme, which Horner also composed).
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: Same as the CBS Broadcasting logo, but "BROADCASTING INC." is replaced by "TELEVISION STUDIOS". This time, it's also still and next to the Blackjack Films, Mayhem Pictures and Silver Reel logos.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: It is seen only on season 1 of Most Dangerous Game.
Visuals: On an animating background in different shades of blue, there is 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 blue-black gradient) rotating into their positions. A white line is drawn in the center below the logo and the byline "A VIACOMCBS COMPANY" slides in from the line, similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.
Variants:
Technique: Like before, this logo uses CGI animation.
Audio: The James Horner-composed fanfare from the first logo.
Availability: This logo had a short life span due to the rebranding to CBS Studios.
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) wipes to the right, and the parent company byline fades in below.
Bylines:
Variants:
Technique: 2D computer animation, designed by Gretel.
