Background
Maxam Entertainment was a television production/distribution arm, when renamed into Eyemark Entertainment in CBS in 1996.
Logo (1988-1995)
Visuals: On a black background, we see two stylized triangles sliding, to make a square with a shaped "X", that makes the figure looking like an "M". Below, a "M" slides to reveal another "M", and after the stacked "MAXAM ENTERTAINMENT" text; with the "A"s of the first word being smaller than the others. The figure shines after the animation ends.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A majestic seven-note horn fanfare, that ends with a cymbal crash.
Availability: Seen at the end of shows like The Extremists.
