'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, the stars of the Paramount Global logo zoom back from below the camera, albeit more similar to the 2011 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo with their bronze edges and {{color|silver}} textures. They also have the 2011 Paramountain (without the stars) reflected on them. As they zoom out to their positions, the half circle from the Paramount Global logo also appears and the mountain rises from below. When the stars sit on their position, they turn into the same shade of {{color|darkblue|blue}} as the background, thus forming the Paramount symbol. A {{color|dodgerblue|light blue}} trail of sparkles comes from the top-right and the Paramount script is revealed by it as it wipes down from the symbol, as well as "GLOBAL CONTENT DISTRIBUTION" in Peak Sans, wiping in from below the script. A bright light can also be seen on the top corner of the screen throughout the whole logo, going from the center to the right.
'''Logo:''' Same as the [[CBS Studios|CBS Television Studios]] logo, which also debuted in 2009 until 2020, except the eye and "'''CBS'''" are smaller, "'''CBS'''" is bolder, and the words "TELEVISION STUDIOS" are replaced by the stacked words "STUDIOS INTERNATIONAL".

'''Technique:''' CGI by RM15 Creative. The 2011 Paramountain was done by [[Devastudios]] using Terragen from Planetside Studios and Autodesk Maya.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The same theme as the CBS Television Studios logo.


'''Audio:''' A bell sound at the beginning, followed by an ethereal low-pitched choir-like note, with an orchestral hit at the end.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''

* There's also a silent version.
* On some international prints of 2010s episodes ''America's Next Top Model'' and the DVD release of ''Survivor: Samoa'', there's a speedup/triple pitch version of the theme.


'''Audio Variant:''' Sometimes, the ending theme of the show plays instead.
'''Availability:''' No longer current, but still common internationally.
* It's seen on the DVD release of ''Survivor: Nicaragua'' and ''Survivor: Samoa,'' international adaptations of ''America's Next Top Model'', among other series.
* This is also seen on newer international airings of CBS-owned shows like ''Cheers'' and ''Everybody Loves Raymond''.
* The logo can also be seen on Netflix prints and H&I airings of season 3 episodes of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''.
* This logo has also been spotted on later episodes (mainly the "updated" prints of season 7) of ''Diagnosis: Murder'' on Me-TV, after the 1999 Viacom "ViaBot" logo, but not on older episodes with the 1990 or 1998 logos or even S2 episodes which have the 1990 and 1995 Paramount logos after the Viacom logo.
* It also appeared at the end of an April 9, 2023 UK airing of the 2009 adaption of ''Angel and the Bad Man'' on LEGEND as well.
* When CBS Studios International changed its name to ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group, the logo was mostly retired, but ''Indonesia's Next Top Model'' continues to use this logo until Season 3.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, the text "'''{{color|#0a498c|V}}{{color|#5effbc|I}}{{color|#0a498c|A}}{{color|#5effbc|C}}{{color|#0a498c|O}}{{color|#5effbc|M}}{{color|#0a498c|C}}{{color|#5effbc|B}}{{color|#0a498c|S}}'''" wipes in letter-by-letter, as a {{color|#0a498c|slightly brighter blue}} bar wipes in below it. Then a tri-colored line in 3 shades of {{color
|blue|blue}} moves from the left side of the screen to the right, making "'''{{color|#0080FF|VIACOM}}'''" a {{color|#0080FF|brighter blue}} color and "'''CBS'''" white. The bar below the "'''{{color|#0080FF|VIACOM}}CBS'''" wordmark takes the same color as the "'''{{color|#0080FF|VIACOM}}'''" text, with scrolling {{color|aquamarine|teal green}} and {{color|#0a498c|darker blue}} squares on its far left side, and "Global Distribution Group" appears on it. The logo zooms in and gets slightly closer to the screen.

'''Later Variant:''' A circle appears in the center of the screen. It then moves slightly to the right and morphs into a "'''C'''" with the rest of the letters in "'''{{color|#0080FF|VIACOM}}CBS'''" emerging from it. Then, the {{color|#0080FF|blue}} line wipes in from the middle of the screen while "Global Distribution Group" appears on it, similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.

'''Technique:''' 2D animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None for the earlier variant.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' For the later variant, 2 drum beats are heard when the circle appears, followed by 4 synth notes when the ViacomCBS logo forms.

'''Availability:''' Rare due to its short lifespan.
* Seen on programmes internationally distributed by the company, such as ''A Million Little Things''.
* It is also seen on H&I's airings of ''Walker, Texas Ranger''.
* Strangely, this logo also plasters the 1990 or 1995 Paramount Television logos on the ''Frasier'' complete series Blu-ray set, which is distributed by [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] (under the [[CBS Home Entertainment]] banner).
