'''Visuals:''' On a dark blue background, there is a red triangle as it turns clockwise to reveal a red screen before zooming out to reveal the triangle, as it divides into two pieces and moves as the text "'''CRITIC L'''" appears with the letters appearing to be cut by the triangle, as "'''CONTENT'''" fades in below.
Logo: Looks just like the movie logo at the time, except the logo is on a black background, and the star field is almost empty, as there are just a few stars and no planets (this variant was used for Relativity Media on Catfish: The Movie). Also, there is no light beam coming out of the galaxy center, and there are fewer light streaks next to it. The logo just zooms out a little and the words just fade in, with "R E L A T I V I T Y" in the same font as the movie logo, and "R E A L" in a different, uglier font.


'''Variant:'''
Variant: On The American Bible Challenge, the logo appears in-credit.
*A still variant exists.
*Sometimes, the logo zooms in.
*There is a version with inverted colors.
*Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.


'''Technique:''' 2D animation.
FX/SFX: The fading in of the words.


'''Audio:''' A warbling techno theme, the closing theme or silence, but it used the music from the [[Relativity Television]] logos during its early usage. CBS airings of the last 9 episodes of ''Limitless'' used a generic theme.
Music/Sounds: The last half of the 2009 Relativity Media theme.


'''Availability:''' It debuted on [https://www.thewrap.com/relativity-television-rebrands-as-critical-content-post-bankruptcy/ an article from ''The Wrap''] in January 2016, and made its first appearance on the third season of ''Young & Hungry'' (although it is omitted from VOD releases) and all shows following it since.
Availability: Seen on shows like Catfish: The TV Series, the first two seasons of The American Bible Challenge, and Police Women.


{{Chronology|[[Relativity Television]]}}
Editor's Note:This logo has barely any animation at all, and the font for "REAL" is off model and ugly; it sticks out like a sore thumb.
