1st Logo
(1993-1999)
Nicknames: "The Flipping CBS Eye", "CBS Box I"
Logo: On a black background, we see a box, with the CBS Eye insi
de the box, outlined with white, and a white rectangle with "CBS VIDEO" in the font seen here, at the bottomof the box, flipping diagonally. Then a "shine" reflects on the sides of the box as it stops flipping, as is becoming straight.
FX/SFX: The box flipping diagonally, the "shine" reflection.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Can be seen on tapes of On The Road with Charles Kuralt, as well as tapes of 1970s Dr. Seuss TV specials, such as the 1971 The Cat in the Hat TV special.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
2nd Logo
(1999- )
Nicknames: "The Globe", "CBS Box II"
Logo: On a gray/silver wall background, we see many colorful streaks (these are the same colors as the lights in CBS's 1992 ident), and a globe with the continents silver, are shown, then the CBS Eye comes to us, and a box with black inside it is where the CBS Eye would be, while the globe is covered in silver, and as we finish off, "CBS VIDEO" (or "CBS DVD" on DVD releases) is on the bottom of the box. The box is like the 1st logo.
FX/SFX: The animation in the logo.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized jingle with "air" that segues into the CBS Broadcast International/CBS Enterprises/Eyemark Entertainment jingle. Sometimes, it's silent.
Availability: Current. Seen on all I Love Lucy DVD box sets, all 3 volumes of The Wild Wild West on VHS, all six of the DVD releases of Hawaii Five-O, etc.
Scare Factor: Low, the effects may catch you off guard.
3rd Logo
(2009- )
Nickname: "CBS Vortex"
Logo: On a background full of spirals, we see five crescent-like shapes moving from the center to the right of us, unveiling a circle, and, at the same time two remaining crescent-like shapes flying in different directions. The two crescent-like shapes and the circle form the CBS Eye, which loops and zooms out to its position while "CBS" (in the same font used for the logos to Eyemark Entertainment and CBS Enterprises, now known as CBS Television Distribution, and CBS Broadcast International, now known as CBS Studios International) zooms out to the right of the CBS Eye and the words "Home Entertainment" appear below "CBS."
FX/SFX: The two crescent-like shapes and circle that forms the CBS Eye on a vortex-like background.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd Logo
Availability: Currently seen on The Lucy Show season 1 DVDs, on the recent DVD release of the first season's worth of Hotel (also known as Arthur Hailey's Hotel), and the #7 (1974-75) DVD release of Hawaii Five-O.
Scare Factor: None to low. Overall it's a great logo.
