CBS Media Ventures

Background
CBS Media Ventures (formerly CBS Television Distribution until January 11, 2021) is the syndication division of CBS Studios established on September 26, 2006 initially as a distribution subsidiary, after CBS Corporation merged CBS Paramount Domestic Television with King World Productions, CBS Paramount International Television (spun-off as "CBS Studios International"), and CBS Home Entertainment. The merger wouldn't take effect on screen until September 2007, when the King World and CBS Paramount Domestic Television logos were retired in favor of this one below. However, Merv Griffin's Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune began using the logo in October 2007.

EkhkGadqlvE 2qPvKrbNax8 Nicknames: "CBS Studio", "Studio of Plastering", "The Sky Studio", "Studio of Annoyance", "CBS Eyemark", "CGI CBS Eyemark", "The Studio", "CGI Studio", "CBS Eyemark in the Studio"

Logo: In a studio, with blue lights all over, we see the words " CBS TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" with " CBS " in its usual Didot font, with "TELEVISION" next to " CBS ", and "DISTRIBUTION" next to CBS and below "TELEVISION", both are in a Helvetica font, floating above a reflective ground (which ripples at the beginning, like water) in front of a wall with clouds projected on it. The camera zooms out from the logo until it's over. But on the longer version, it stops behind some black girders.

Variants:
 * The longer variant has everything the above says, except at the beginning, the camera zooms away from the CBS Eyemark, and "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" zooms back in place, and then the camera moves away from the logo until it stops behind the girders. As it zooms out, the "S" in " CBS " briefly shines. It can be seen here.
 * A black & white version is used on B&W shows.
 * 2010-: Another variant starts off with the animation from the extended version, but is in warp speed.
 * On the newly-revived, but short-lived Arsenio Hall Show, a copyright stamp for Eye Productions, Inc. appears below.
 * On a recent print of the second part of the two-part TV movie The Key to Rebecca, the logo is strangely squished.
 * On the Me-TV print of a Star Trek episode, there is a 1967 copyright at the bottom.
 * Other Star Trek variants exist such as with the 1968 Paramount/Norway copyright or the 1978 Paramount copyright.
 * A widescreen variant exists.

FX/SFX: The camera zoom-out, and the CGI of the whole studio.

Music/Sounds: A beautiful 6-note string sounder, which sounds like a re-orchestration (and slight rearrangement) of the music in the CBS Paramount Network Television logo. There are 4 different versions:
 * There is a short version with a faster pace.
 * Sometimes, the theme would have either 5 (minus the first note) or all 6 notes.
 * There is a longer version of the theme where the last two notes are more extended.
 * The extended version has a brief brass/synth stinger before the longer version of the theme plays.
 * Some series and movies such as Judge Judy and Hot Bench, The Brady Kids on DVD, some season 1 episodes of Jake & the Fatman on DVD, Perry Mason Returns on DVD, the fifth thru seventh seasons of Walker, Texas Ranger on DVD, the second season of Dave's World on DVD, local syndication reruns of CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, GMC's reruns of Early Edition (plastering the CBS Productions logo and removing the TriStar Television and Columbia TriStar Television logos), Chiller's airings of The (New) Twilight Zone, and Me-TV's airings of Touched by an Angel would have the finishing of the end-title theme over the logo.
 * On the short-lived newly-revived The Arsenio Hall Show, the last 3 notes are used.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Jeopardy!, you can still hear part of the 1999 King World thunderclap sound effect before the theme is playing, probably due to sloppy plastering. This is unofficially called the "Ghost of the 1999 King World thunderclap".
 * On Me-TV's print (same as the DVD print) of the Hawaii Five-O episode "Wednesday, Ladies Free," the 1987 Paramount Television music is used. This happened again on Russian prints of various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the "Sins of the Father" episode on The Next Level Blu-ray, as well as the Friday the 13th: The Series episode "Hate on Your Dial" on the Season 3 DVD. Either occurrence is most likely due to a plastering error.
 * A "high-tone" version of the short version jingle is on Acorn Media's DVD release of the mini-series Washington: Behind Closed Doors.
 * A double high-tone (very high-pitched) and slightly faster version of the short version jingle exists on a recent print of the two-part TV movie The Key to Rebecca.
 * A silent variant exists; On season 7 of Wings on DVD, the logo is silent. It was also silent on a 2013 episode of Dr. Phil, because it followed a memorial segment for a consultant for the show, who had recently passed away. This also happened on the September 11th episode of the 2013 version of The Arsenio Hall Show, due to a moment of silence held for those who died 12 years ago on that day. The other logos seen before this one were in silence as well. This can also be seen on the episodes of Season 6 of Have Gun, Will Travel on DVD.
 * One episode of The Love Boat had the Worldvision "Whoosh Globe" music playing over it instead due to sloppy plastering.
 * A Spanish print of The Love Boat S2 episode "Love Me, Love My Dog/Poor Little Rich Girl/The Decision" has the 1988 Worldvision Enterprises theme in low-tone playing over this.
 * One episode of Gomer Pyle-USMC on Me-TV had the CBS/Paramount music play over it instead due to sloppy plastering.
 * A Russian print of Father Dowling Mysteries S1 EP3 has the "Wigga-Wigga" theme over this, continuing from the "V of Steel"; it's presumably due to the audio track being from a different source.
 * On a French print of the TV movie Perry Mason: The Case of the Murdered Madam, the warp-speed "V of Steel" theme plays over the logo due to a plastering error.
 * On a June 3, 2010 Encore Westerns airing of one episode of Rawhide, the 1990 Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" short music is heard due to bad plastering.
 * On an H&I print of one episode Star Trek: The Next Generation, the theme is low toned.
 * On a Me-TV airing of an episode of Laverne and Shirley ', you can faintly hear the 1975 Paramount "Blue Mountain" logo music in the background due to a sloppy plaster job.

Availability: Ultra common.
 * It appears mostly on first-run syndicated programming from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, such as Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight, Hot Bench, and The Doctors, among others.
 * It is also seen on ex-King World distributed shows like: Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, and Rachael Ray. Don't expect to find this much on Inside Edition, as they usually like to fade to black after the host wraps up. Also don't expect this on the now concluded Oprah Winfrey Show.
 * It can also be seen on local reruns of Half & Half, One on One, and Maximum Exposure (the latter title to have followed after the Paramount Domestic Television logo of the time). This logo is also seen on Everybody Loves Raymond in local syndication, which plasters over the King World logo. However, it was followed by the 2006 King World logo on some TV Land reruns. It was also seen on the remastered version of Star Trek: The Original Series.
 * The extended version is seen on their website (without music) and was seen on the final two seasons of Montel.
 * This logo can also be seen together with its then-current network television counterpart's "Wallpaper" logo before it on syndicated reruns of the CSI franchise.
 * The short version should be found on every remaining release of the original "Five-O," from #4 to the end, along with most DVD releases of older CBS-owned programming from late April 2008 onward. Also seen until September 2011 on syndicated reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which this logo replaced the 1987 Paramount Television logo. This happened again on that said show's Next Level Blu-ray.
 * This logo can also be seen together with the 1998 King World logo before it on some reruns of Early Edition on Syfy.
 * This logo can also be seen together with the 2003 Paramount Network Television logo before it on syndicated reruns of the first two seasons of Numb3rs and syndicated reruns of the first season of Everybody Hates Chris.
 * This logo also plasters over Viacom logos on Viacom-produced shows on DVD, which were seasons 2-9 of Matlock, the Acorn Media DVD of the 1981 miniseries East of Eden, seasons 1-2 of Cannon, seasons 4-7 of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, seasons 1-2 of Jake & The Fatman, the 1992 telefilm Diagnosis Murder: A Diagnosis of Murder, the made-for-TV Perry Mason movies, and the Kino Lorber DVDs of The Master, among others. CBS Drama (UK) airings of Matlock also use this logo, as did a November 2017 Me-TV airing (and possibly DVD and Blu-Ray releases) of Return to Mayberry. However, this follows the "V of Steel" and "Wigga Wigga" on the Father Dowling Mysteries DVDs and Decades airings and the "V of Doom" and "Wigga Wigga" on seasons 3-5 DVDs of Cannon, and also follows the Children's Video Library logo on Hulu's print of Thanksgiving in the Land of Oz.
 * This also plasters the Rysher Entertainment logo on Nash Bridges: The Fourth Season on DVD and on H&I airings.
 * The second season of Dave's World on DVD, the first and second seasons of Caroline in the City on DVD, Get TV airings of The Kid Who Loved Christmas (with the 1990 Paramount Television logo before this logo), Start TV airings of the 1st 2 seasons of Early Edition, Decades airings of Matt Houston (with the 1984 Warner Bros. Television Distribution logo before or after this logo) and Brooklyn Bridge (with the 1990 Paramount Television logo after this logo), Me-TV airings of season 1 of Touched by an Angel and The (New) Twilight Zone also used this logo.
 * This made an unusual (for a television logo) theatrical appearance during Fathom Events' The Twilight Zone: A 60th Anniversary Celebration, a limited theatrical screening of six Twilight Zone episodes, which took place November 14, 2019. This was due to using regular television prints for the screening.
 * With the company being renamed to CBS Media Ventures, this logo's days are numbered.

Editor's Note: This logo is very beautifully animated, and it's clear a lot of time and effort was put into designing the CGI set, which is reminiscent of the 1997 CBS Productions logo. However, many logo enthusiasts detest it for its frequent plastering over many companies' logos, notably ones from Viacom, Paramount Television, and Worldvision.

Logo: Same as the 2020 CBS Studios logo (itself a variation of CBS' 2020 ID), except it reads "CBS MEDIA VENTURES" instead of "CBS STUDIOS."

Variants:
 * There was an alternative version that is the same as the logo with the "PRODUCTION + LICENSING + AD SALES & PARTNERSHIPS" tagline appearing one at a time during the last 3 notes, simular to CBS' 2020 ID.

FX/SFX: Same as the 2020 CBS Studios logo.

Music/Sounds: A reorchestrated version of the 2020 CBS' "This is CBS" jingle.

Availability: Brand new. CBS introduced the logo on the Variety website the day the rebrand was announced and began replacing the CBS Television Distribution logo on first-run programs it distributes, starting with the January 11, 2021 episodes of Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight. Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune began using the logo starting with their respective January 18, 2021 episodes.

Editor's Note: An effort to expand CBS' brand unity. It's intended to not have much variation.
