'''Visuals:''' InThere is an extreme close-up of the CBS Eyemark, then it zooms away towards the left to reveal a studio with blue lights allaround over,it. thereAs arethe camera continues to zoom away, the wordscompany "{{font|Timesname Newis Roman|'''CBS'''}}formed TELEVISIONnext DISTRIBUTION"to withthe "{{font|TimesEyemark, Newwith Roman|"'''CBS'''}}" (in theits trademark Didot font) andappearing thefirst, Eyemarkfollowed onby itsthe leftstacked side,words "TELEVISION" and "DISTRIBUTION" (in Helvetica). nextAs tothe itfull logo is revealed, andthere "DISTRIBUTION"are belowdifferent "TELEVISION"walls behind, floatingone abovewith a reflectivetime-lapse groundof clouds animating, and another with animated helixes (whichonly ripplesvisible aton the beginning,16:9 likewidescreen waterversion), inand frontblack ofgirders, and a wallreflective withground clouds(which projectedripples onas it is shown, like water). TheAs the camera zooms awayback fromto make a complete stop behind some girders, the logo"'''S'''" untilin it"'s''CBS'''" briefly overshines.
'''Trivia:''' On first-run series from the company, the logo is animated at 30fps. However, when it plasters older logos on syndicated reruns and DVD releases of some older shows, it is animated at 24fps.
'''Variants:'''
* Usually, the logo fades in from black at the start, and fades out to black at the end.
* The longer variant shows the camera zooming away from the CBS Eyemark at the beginning, "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" zooms back in place, and then the camera moves away from the logo until it stops behind some black girders. As it zooms out, the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''S'''}}" in "{{font|Times New Roman|'''CBS'''}}" briefly shines. It was seen on the company's official website prior to the rebrand to CBS Media Ventures.
* A <u>slightly shortened version of the long version (medium-length version)</u> starts with the logo fully formed, but starts with the camera zooming back.
* A B&W variant of the logo exists, which is used on B&W shows. ▼
* A <u>more common short version</u> has the finished product with only a second of zooming back.
* 2010-: Another variant starts off with the animation from the extended version, but is in warp speed.
* From 2010, another short version has the <u>long version in warp speed</u>, albeit with the first few seconds cut off.
* On some first-run shows such as ''The Insider'' and ''Entertainment Tonight'', the final scene or the end credits crossfade to the logo (sometimes its the longer variant). ▼

'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Audio:''' A brief brass/synth stinger, followed by a seven-note string sounder, derived from the first [[CBS Paramount Television]] logo's music, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of that. The fourthfirst note is accompaniedheld by a beatlonger, which is actually part ofand a timpani roll accompanyingaccompanies notes 1-4.

Sometimes,After the lastsixth note, ofthere theis enda creditlong themepause, playsending overwith a seventh note, then the logosame brass/synth stinger in a lower tone. Composed by Gregory Smith. The following versions are commonly used:
* For the slightly shorter medium-length version, the first note is shorter, and the first instance of the brass/synth stringer is omitted. One version has the first note re-arranged to resemble the one used in the more common short version.
* There is a short version with a faster pace. ▼
* Sometimes,The themore themecommon wouldshort haveversion eitherusually has the last six (minusnotes, theoccasionally firstwith an additional note) orat allthe sevenbeginning, noteswhich is re-arranged. For the full seven-note version, the first note may be cut in half (on some first-run shows) or be heard in full (often heard on syndicated prints of shows produced by [[CBS Productions]], CBS Paramount Television, and CBS Television Studios).
▲* There is aA short version with a faster pace also exists.
* A longer version of the theme exists, where there is a gap between the last two notes. This version also has a cymbal on the fourth and sixth notes; the first one plays when the timpani stops.
* An extended version of the theme also exists, which has a brief brass/synth stinger before the longer version of the theme plays.
* On the revival of ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', the last three notes are used.
'''Audio Variants:'''
* On <u>''Jeopardy!''</u>, a part of the 1999 [[King World Productions|King World]] thunderclap sound effect can be heard before the theme is playing, probably due to a plaster error. However, on the first few episodes under this logo, the short 1999 King World thunderclap, and the first part of the long version of the 2002 [[Sony Pictures Television]] logo music played, which continues to the short version of said logo.
* On <u>MeTV's print (same as the DVD print) of the ''Hawaii Five-O'' episode "Wednesday, Ladies Free,"</u> the 1987 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] music is used. This also 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 (as the German print), and the 1988 series of the ''Mission: Impossible'' episode "The Fixer". Either occurrence is most likely due to a plastering error.
* A "high-tone" version of the short version jingle exists, which is found on <u>Acorn Media's DVD release of the mini-series ''Washington: Behind Closed Doors'' and on all PAL prints of shows</u>.
* A double high-tone (very high-pitched) and slightly faster version of the short version jingle also exists, which is found on a <u>recent print of the two-part TV movie ''The Key to Rebecca''</u>.
* A <u>Spanish print of ''The Love Boat'' S2 episode "Love Me, Love My Dog/Poor Little Rich Girl/The Decision" </u> has the 1988 Worldvision Enterprises theme in low-tone playing over this. ▼
* A silent variant exists:
* <u>One episode of ''Gomer Pyle-USMC'' on MeTV</u> and <u>a Season 10 episode of ''Judge Joe Brown'' on The Roku Channel</u> had the 2006 CBS Paramount Domestic Television music play over it instead due to a plaster error.
** On season 7 of ''Wings'' on DVD, the logo is silent.
* A <u>Russian print of ''Father Dowling Mysteries'' S1 episode "The What Do You Call a Call Girl Mystery" </u> has the [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] 1990 "Wigga-Wigga" theme over this, continuing from the warp speed variant of the 1986 "V of Steel" logo; it's presumably due to the audio track being from a different source. ▼
** 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 died.
* On a <u>French print of the TV movie ''Perry Mason: The Case of the Murdered Madam''</u>, the warp-speed 1986 "V of Steel" theme plays over the logo due to a plastering error.
** 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 on that day twelve years before.
* On a <u>June 3, 2010 Encore Westerns airing of one episode of ''Rawhide'' </u>, the 1990 Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" short music is heard due to bad plastering. ▼
** The other logos seen before this one were in silence as well.
* On an <u>H&I print of one episode of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' </u>, the 2007 theme is low toned. ▼
** This can also be seen on the episodes of Season 6 of ''Have Gun, Will Travel'' on DVD.
