2nd Logo
(1989-1995)

Nickname: "The CBS Globe Eye"

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see a globe being made with longitude and latitude lines, dropping from the top. As it is done forming, it then shines and pans out, as the globe becomes 3-D, and we pan out to a light blue background, with the globe panning out to the CBS Eye logo. The letters "CBS" in the Didot font appear next to the CBS Eye. Under all that is "CBS BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL".

Variant: There is a variation which has "A PRODUCTION OF" or "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" above the logo.

FX: The animation in the logo.

Music/Sounds: An inducing synth theme with a low synth note as the latitude and longitude lines are formed, then a higher synth note as the logo pans out, then another high synth note.

Logo: On a black background, we see earth, being seen with the continents forming it, with the outside of the CBS Eye, which appears at an angle before flipping into its normal position. The letters "C", "B", and "S" appear one each above the eye, and then "Broadcast International" appears under it.
