  • Happy 60th Birthday to this logo!

  • WOW people....I can't wait to hear versions about the NBC Living Color Peacock...and what harm IT'S liable to do to all of us!!! Lol lol lol. People people....have more confidence in yourselves!

  • High up in the sky

    Not caring how you cry

    The evil rectal eye

    Will make you scream and die

  • ooooooooooooooh

  • Valiant Lady didn't premiere until 1953. So, although this logo is from 1951, it wasn't from a '51 broadcast of Valiant Lady. Sorry, be I am such a stickler for dates, LOL!

  • So this would make this the first logo of CBS Productions.

  • I mean the other one. The zooming eye.

  • They used two eyes back then. This was the version they used for live productions, I imagine they just cut to a camera focused on a reel running the logo when it was time - look at the clouds, they move. I read someone at CBS shot the footage off a light tower in Maine back in the 40s.

  • The other zooming eye was for recorded or delayed broadcasts, that one creeps me out on a level usually reserved for torch ladies.

    Before the eye, they just showed a card with the letters "C B S" and had an announcer. I've got that one somewhere on my computer, I might have to upload it.

  • What creeped me out was the jingle accompanying the NBC logo back in the early 70's, the one with the dissonant flutes. The first time I heard it I almost peed my pants. Same thing with the ending of Strawberry Fields. I'd outgrown diapers a few years earlier, so peeing wasn't an option unfortunately.

  • I've never seen this one! :P

  • I know for a fact that this filmed version of the CBS logo was also used at the end of the 16mm network film prints of "THE HONEYMOONERS" in 1955-'56. As mentioned, CBS used a number of variations of their logo at the end of their live and filmed programming throughout the '50s and early '60s. Today, they no longer use "the eye" at the end of their programs; a 5 second promo usually separates one show from the next one these days.

  • That would be pretty neat if they upgraded this to use today!

  • @fixman88 - If they did, I'd never watch CBS again.
