'''Visuals:''' There is an extreme close-up of the CBS Eyemark, then it zooms away towards the left to reveal a studio with blue lights around it. As the camera continues to zoom away, the company name is formed next to the Eyemark, with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''CBS'''}}" (in its trademark Didot font) appearing first, followed by the stacked words "{{Font|Helvetica|TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION}}" (in Helvetica). As the full logo is revealed, there are different walls behind, one with a time-lapse of clouds animating, and another with animated helixes (only visible on the 16:9 widescreen version), and black girders, and a reflective ground (which ripples at the beginning, like water). As the camera zooms back to make a complete stop behind some girders, the "{{font|Times New Roman|'''S'''}}" in "{{font|Times New Roman|'''CBS'''}}" briefly shines. |

'''Audio:''' A brief brass/synth stinger, followed by a seven-note string sounder, derived from the first [[CBS Paramount Television]] logo's music, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of that. The first note is held longer, and fourth note is accompanied by a beat, which is actually part of a timpani roll accompanying notes 1-4. A cymbal is also heard on the fourth and sixth notes; the first one plays when the timpani stops. After the sixth note, there is a long pause, ending with a seventh note, then the same brass/synth stinger in a lower tone. Composed by Gregory Smith. The following versions are commonly used: |
||
* For the slightly shorter medium-length version, the first note is shorter, and the first instance of the brass/synth stringer is omitted. |
|||
* For the long version |
|||
⚫ | * The more common short version usually six (minus the first note) or all seven notes, which is re-arranged. For the full seven-note version, the first note may be cut in half (on some first-run shows) or be heard in full (often heard on syndicated prints of shows produced by [[CBS Productions]], CBS Paramount Television, and CBS Television Studios). |

* A longer version of the theme exists, where there is a gap between the last two notes. This version also has a cymbal on the fourth and sixth notes; the first one plays when the timpani stops. |

Visuals: There is an extreme close-up of the CBS Eyemark, then it zooms away towards the left to reveal a studio with blue lights around it. As the camera continues to zoom away, the company name is formed next to the Eyemark, with "CBS" (in its trademark Didot font) appearing first, followed by the stacked words "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" (in Helvetica).

As the camera zooms back to make a complete stop behind some girders, the "S" in "CBS" briefly shines.
Trivia: On first-run series from the company, the logo is animated at 30fps. However, when it plasters older logos on syndicated reruns and DVD releases of some older shows, it is animated at 24fps.

Legacy: The logo is divisive in and out of the logo community for its visuals and presence. It has received praise for its animation, graphics, and audio, but the logo's large-scale plastering earned this logo some despise.
