Logos[]
CBS Television Studios[]
1st logo (2009-present)[]
On a turquoise background, we see the CBS Eyemark logo zooming in from the right to the left at warp speed. Then "CBS" (in Akzidenz-Grotesk) with the words "TELEVISION STUDIOS" (in Myriad) below and the Eyemark next to the text zoom out to its distant position and reflections fade in below.
Variants[]
- A sped-up version exists.
- A more commonplace short version starts with the logo zooming out.
- Another shortened version exists wherein it only shows the finished product of the logo, but it is almost still because the background is still animating.
- A completely still version exists.
- In this logo's later years, the background was changed to blue.
- On Most Dangerous Game, this logo uses the same detail from the CBS Broadcasting logo.
2nd logo (2020-2021)[]
Same as the last logo, but animated differently. On an animating background with different shades of blue, we see the CBS Eyemark, but this time, slightly tilted, zooming in in the same formation as the previous logo. Then it segues into a bright flash, as it dissipates, revealing the text "CBS TELEVISION STUDIOS" (with "TELEVISION STUDIOS" now in black) rotating into their positions. A white line draws in the center below the logo and the byline "A VIACOMCBS COMPANY" slides in from the line, animating like the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.

3rd logo (2020-)[]
On a dark blue background, we see 2 blue circles overlap each other with an outlined circle, also in blue, zooming in the center. The 3 circles zoom out as the CBS Eyemark logo, also in blue, zooms in. The eye moves to the left as the text "CBS STUDIOS" wipes to the right, and the ViacomCBS byline fades in below. This itself is a variation of CBS' 2020 ID.
Variants[]
- A short version exists, which starts with the Eyemark zooming in.
- The logo comes in two aspect ratios: the 2.00:1 version, as well as the anamorphic 2.35:1 cinematic ratio (often known as Cinemascope).
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
A 6-note horn/orchestral sounder with a timpani roll and suspended cymbal roll on the second-to-last note and the ringing of a bell at the end. The theme was composed by the late James Horner (and bears a vague resemblance to the 2006 CBS Evening News theme). However, some shows, mainly newer seasons of the CSI franchise, would have the end theme tunes accompany this logo.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- On the pilot episode of Melrose Place (2009) and at least that of Vegas, the 2008 CBS Productions music is used.
- S6-S9 episodes of CSI: NY have the normal logo with a shortened theme.
- Some shows from 2015 starting with the short-lived Battle Creek have a higher-pitched, re-orchestrated piano version of the first 5 notes (with the last one being omitted).
- Short and warp-speed versions exist.
- An altered version of the fanfare was heard on season 2 of Extant and shows co-produced by Warner Bros. Television and Sony Pictures Television.
- CBS and The CW used their generic themes.
2nd logo[]
The shortened version of the music from the previous logo, or often used a long version.
3rd logo[]
A new, modern arrangement of the "This is CBS" jingle, with reverse reverb applied to the beginning. This is the same music used in CBS' 2020 ID.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
On the first two season 3 episodes of Magnum P.I. (2018), the Universal TV and CBS Television Studios jingles are played over this logo due to an editing error.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
None to low, the logo is pretty fast-paced, which might startle some.
2nd logo[]
None, it's just cheesier than before.
3rd logo[]
None.
