The CBS television network's initial logo, used between 1947 and 1951, consisted of an oval spotlight which shone on the block letters "C-B-S".
1951–present
The present-day Eye device was conceived by William Golden, based on a Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign as well as a Shaker drawing. The Eye device made its broadcast debut on October 20, 1951. The following season, as Golden prepared a new "ident", CBS President Frank Stanton insisted on keeping the Eye device and using it as much as possible.
