CBS Studios

Background
On May 15, 2009, the post-2006 CBS Corporation (formerly the "old" Viacom) ended its three-year licensing rights to the Paramount name and logo from the post-2006 Viacom, which owned Paramount Pictures. As a result, the CBS Paramount Television Group and its network television arm were rebranded as "CBS Television Studios". In addition, the then-revived CBS Paramount International Television was renamed "CBS Studios International", and the revived CBS Productions was reincorporated as its in-name-only unit. For the first time on network television since 1966, the "Paramountain" or anything resembling Paramount's symbol is nowhere to be seen; however, the post-2006 Viacom relaunched Paramount's television division in 2013. New and returning television shows have copyright for CBS Studios Inc. with exceptions of the new seasons of the CSI franchise, which have copyright for CBS Broadcasting Inc. On October 8, 2020, ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) announced that CBS Television Studios would be rebranded to simply "CBS Studios", as part of a major rebrand that unifies all CBS operations and divisions.

(October 8, 2020-)
Main variants=

Logo: Same as CBS' 2020 ID, except that the eye moves to the left as the text "CBS STUDIOS" in TT Norms Pro wipes in to the right, and the byline fades in below.

Bylines:
 * October 8, 2020-2023: "A VIACOMCBS COMPANY"
 * April 21, 2022-: "A PARAMOUNT COMPANY" in the Paramount Peak Sans typeface.

Variants:

 * A widescreen 18:9 version exists.
 * A still version exists.
 * A scope version exists, wherein the logo is cropped to 21:9/2.35:1 and the byline is shifted up.
 * An opening version exists. On a black background, we see the white text "A CBS STUDIOS PRODUCTION" fading in and out.
 * On the final season of Dead to Me, the font is different.
 * On shows co-produced with another studio, the opening text is different:
 * On Why Women Kill, the opening text reads "A CBS STUDIOS AND IMAGINE TELEVISION STUDIOS PRODUCTION". Also, it cuts in and out rather than fading in and out.

Technique: 2D animation, same as the 2020 CBS National ID, designed by Gretel.

Music/Sounds: Same as CBS' 2020 ID composed by Antfood, with the addition of a camera shutter at the beginning.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the closing theme plays over or none.
 * On the first two season 3 episodes of the 2018 version of Magnum P.I., the 2011 Universal Television and CBS Television Studios jingles (due to an editing error) play over this logo.
 * On some shows, the jingle is sped up.
 * On Clarice and even episodes of the 2021 reboot of The Equalizer, only the last 4 notes of the jingle are heard.
 * On The Man Who Fell to Earth and Fire Country, the camera shutter sound is absent.
 * CBS, The CW, NBC, and Fox airings use a generic theme on this logo.

Availability: Current.
 * First seen on the CBS Studios social media pages on the day of CBS' rebrand, October 8, 2020, and later seen on new seasons of their current and then-current shows.
 * It also appeared on their new and future productions that they produced from 2020 onwards.
 * It also appears on the former CBS Broadcasting productions which are The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
 * It also plasters both CBS Television Studios logos on Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access) originals as of March 4, 2021. Also seen on shows produced by CBS Eye Animation Productions (such as The Harper House and Star Trek: Prodigy) as they do not use their own logo.
 * The version with the Paramount byline debuted on Bull, starting with "The Other Shoe". It was used in tandem with the ViacomCBS byline until 2023.
 * This and the Paramount+ logo is remained intact at the end of season 2 of Star Trek: Picard on Amazon Prime Video international prints in which the show was shown in other countries unlike season 1 which removes the CBS Television Studios and CBS All Access logos.
