Background

Columbia Music Video is the music video and DVD division of Columbia Records, a record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment. The division was folded in 2009, following the restructuring of Sony Music with acquiring Bertelsmann AG's stakes in the company.

1st Logo (1993-2006)

Visuals: On a black background, a 3-D bottomless tricolor pyramid is shown spinning around, with the cut-out letters "C" on the red side, "M" on the green side, and "V" on the blue side. Then, two more pyramids just like the first one slide out of the bottom of it and they all spin. Then the pyramids get together, and as they do that, each of them turn into triangles, and the letters turn white. "COLUMBIA MUSIC VIDEO" fades in under "CMV".

Trivia: This basically a modified version of the CMV Enterprises logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A modern-sounding synth theme with ticks throughout and 3 deep bangs as the pyramids turns into triangles.

Availability: Seen mainly on DVD releases of music-related films as well as titles from Columbia Records artists, like Pink Floyd: The Wall, released by MGM/UA Home Video. It is seen on many DualDisc releases as well, but is often hidden in the bonus features. For example, the logo can be accessed on the DualDisc of John Mayer's Heavier Things by accessing the bonus features menu and selecting the short The Paul Reddy Show.

2nd Logo (2006-2009)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a 3-D neon version of the Columbia Records "Walking Eye" logo (in red), spinning its parts around. Then, the eye zooms out and mends all of its parts together to the left of the screen as a box slowly fades in over it. Then the words "COLUMBIA MUSIC VIDEO" in chrome and in the same font as the CBS logo (Didot), flickers itself in.

Trivia: The "Walking Eye" logo debuted in 1953, while the current design made its debut in 1961. It's supposed to represent a stylus (the legs) above a vinyl record (the eye).

Technique: CGI and neon effects.

Audio: A series of whooshes that end in a dark and grungy echoing guitar lick.

Availability: Appeared on later music DVDs from the company. It also appeared on the Walmart bonus DVD of iCarly: Music from and Inspired by the Hit TV Show.
