Background

In 2015, Relativity Media filled for bankruptcy, and Relativity Television was sold to creditors led by Anchorage Capital. who changed the name to Critical Content.

Logo (January 26, 2016-)

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.

Variant:

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.

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.

Availability: It debuted on 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.

+'''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.
-=== 1st Logo (August 6, 2009-May 23, 2013) ===
-<youtube width=240 height=185><youtube width=240 height=1853f7FAGIFohQ}}
-'''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 "'''{{Font|Courier|R E A L}}'''" in a different, uglier font.
-'''Variant:''' On ''The American Bible Challenge'', the logo appears in-credit.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The fading in of the words.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The last half of the 2009 Relativity Media theme.
-'''Availability:''' Seen on shows like ''Catfish: The TV Series'', the first two seasons of ''The American Bible Challenge'', and ''Police Women''.
-'''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.
-=== 2nd Logo (June 25, 2013-July 20, 2014) ===

-'''Logo:''' On a space BG, we see a {{Font color|blue|blue}} ring orbiting around next to the words "'''{{Font color|blue|RELATIVITY}}'''". The center of the "'''{{Font color|blue|A}}'''" flashes and "'''{{Font color|blue|T E L E V I S I O N}}'''" flashes in below.
-'''Variant:''' A variant exists where the word "'''{{Font color|blue|LIFESTYLE}}'''" appears above "'''{{Font color|blue|TELEVISION}}'''". This can be seen on Guy's Grocery Games and Burgers, Brew, and 'Que, both on Food Network.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The ring drawing, the words flashing and appearing.
