Background

Paramount Global Content Distribution is the international distribution unit of CBS Media Ventures. It was formed in 2004 by Viacom as CBS Paramount International Television, a result of a merger between two television companies, CBS Broadcast International and Paramount International Television. Since September 26, 2006, the company has been part of the CBS Television Distribution (now CBS Media Ventures) Group. In May 2009, CBS Paramount International Television was renamed CBS Studios International. In 2020, the subsidiary was renamed to ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group. On February 15, 2022, ViacomCBS announced that it was changing its name to Paramount Global.

1st Logo (2009-2022)

• 

Visuals: Same as the CBS Television Studios logo, which also debuted in 2009 until 2020, except the eye and "CBS" are smaller, "CBS" is bolder, and the words "TELEVISION STUDIOS" are replaced by the stacked words "STUDIOS INTERNATIONAL".

Variant: This logo is available in the standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9 formats.

Technique: Same as the CBS Television Studios logo.

Audio: The same theme as the CBS Television Studios logo.

Audio Variants:

• Sometimes, the ending theme of the show plays instead. This happens on GREAT! TV UK airings of Touched by an Angel.
• A silent version exists.
• On some international prints of late 2000s/2010s episodes America's Next Top Model and the DVD release of Survivor: Samoa, there's a speedup/triple pitch version of the theme.
• On Challenge UK airings of some episodes of the UK version of Wheel of Fortune, it uses the music from the 2006 CBS Paramount Television "Eye In The Sky" logo.

Availability:

• It appears on the DVD release of Survivor: Nicaragua and Survivor: Samoa, international adaptations of America's Next Top Model, among other series.
• This also appears on newer international airings of CBS-owned shows like Cheers and Everybody Loves Raymond.
• The logo also appears on Netflix prints and H&I airings of season 3 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
• This logo has also been spotted on later episodes (mainly the "updated" prints of season 7) of Diagnosis: Murder on Me-TV, after the 1999 Viacom "ViaBot" logo, but not on older episodes with the 1990 or 1998 logos or even S2 episodes which have the 1990 and 1995 Paramount logos after the Viacom logo.
• It also appeared at the end of an April 9, 2023 UK airing of the 2009 adaption of Angel and the Bad Man on LEGEND.
• When CBS Studios International changed its name to ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group, the logo was mostly retired, but Indonesia's Next Top Model continues to use this logo until Season 3.

2nd Logo (2012)

• 

Visuals: There is the CBS Eyemark rotating and placing itself beside the following words on a black background with a blue spotlight in the middle:

CBS
STUDIOS
INTERNATIONAL

When the Eyemark settles, a flash occurs and several sparks fly out from it. The Eyemark then flies close to the screen and then to the left, transitioning to black.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The last few seconds of the reel, followed by a whoosh from the Eyemark.

Availability: Appears at the end of a CBS sizzle reel.
