27th Logo
(1992-1995)
Nickname: "Aurora CBS"
Logo: We see a lavender object zoom out over a black background filled with Aurora-like lights. It reveals itself to be a lavender CBS eye, which has "CBS" pass over it in Didot. It gets a comfortable distance away from the screen, and "C B S" is below, in Helvetica. The CBS eye shines, turning it sky blue.
FX: All the animation. Pretty nice CGI.
Music/Sounds: A four-note jingle, with a delay between the first two notes (which is filled with what sounds like a harp), followed by twinkling sounds. This is coupled with an announcer (there were two different ones) saying "This is CBS.".
Availability: Rare, but gone beyond tapes and the Internet.
Scare Factor: None; this is generally considered a favorite among vintage TV buffs.
28th Logo
(1994-1995)
TBA
29th Logo
(1995)
Logo: On a black BG, the CBS eye swirls towards the viewer. When it gets a moderate distance away, it stops, and "CBS" (fashioned like the network ID of the era) wipes in below.
FX: All the animation.
Music/Sounds: An rising note (like in the Nelson Entertainment logo), followed by a "ding".
Availability: Long extinct on TV; it's only known appearance was in the early hours of January 2, 1995, used to denote that Baltimore's WJZ had switched to CBS.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; it's appearance is rather unexpected.
