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.

-'''Logo:''' We see the movie logo at the time, except it is on black background and the starfield is almost empty with no planets nor a light beam coming out of the galaxy center with fewer light streaks next to it. It zooms out a little as the words  "'''{{color|cyan|RELATIVITY REAL}}'''" fade in with the latter word in an uglier font.
-'''Variant:''' On ''The American Bible Challenge'', the logo appears in-credit.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The words fading in.

-'''Availability:''' Seen on shows like ''Catfish: The TV Series'', the first two seasons of ''The American Bible Challenge'', and ''Police Women''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' The font for "REAL" is off model and ugly as it sticks out like a sore thumb.
