Background: Eyemark Entertainment (formerly Group W Productions) was the television production/distribution company arm of CBS after Westinghouse Electric bought CBS. In 2000, it was folded into King World after King World merged with CBS. Currently, NBC Universal owns The George Michael Sports Machine and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is currently licensed by Lions Gate Entertainment by ownership of Mirage Studios. As for the rest of the series, they're currently owned by CBS Corporation and distributed by CBS Television Distribution.


(1995-2000)


Nickname: "The Eyemark"

Logo: On a black background, the CBS eye from the CBS Broadcast International logo appears on the left side of the logo while the word "EYE" zooms out from the right side followed by "MARK", both in bold gray lettering. We later see a shining wipe effect while the word "Entertainment" in
Eyemark Entertainmentnon-bold Helvetica font fades in and zooms out. The byline "A Unit of CBS Enterprises" appears underneath "Entertainment".

Trivia: This logo co-existed with the 1995 logo of CBS Broadcast International.

Variant: Exists having a longer version animation. The long version starts off with the same animation as CBS Broadcast International. Later, the Eyemark logo would later zoom off to the left while the rest of the animation takes place.


FX/SFX: The words appearing.

Cheesy Factor: It's a fast-paced logo.

Music/Sounds: A much shorter version theme of the CBS Broadcast International logo from 1995 that starts off with the last portion of the piano keys while the rest of the theme plays. Sometimes, it has a much longer version that was also shared with CBI.

Availability: Extinct; it appeared on Martha Stewart Living, Bob Vila's Home Again, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The George Michael Sports Machine, and Caroline in the City, among others. None of those shows with the exception of Bob Vila and Caroline still air on TV. If any of the others air in the future, expect a KingWorld/CBS Paramount/CBS Television Distribution logo to plaster it. Lifetime Real Women, to our knowledge, does not use the Eyemark logo on Caroline. When PSI Factor was reran on Sci Fi (now Syfy) this logo was replaced by the 1998 King World logo.

Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
  • Minimal for the standard music.
  • Low to medium for the music variation.
