CBS "color chimes"
Carmine,
CBS like NBC had a series of color logos. From the 50's to early 60's they had several versions of still slides of the CBS eye logo with a multi-colored pupil. Insiders referred to this as the CBS "bloodshot" eye. In the mid 60's they created an animated announcement that featured the letters CBS which changed from black to red-blue-green with corresponding musical notes (chimes) as the letters changed to color. I think you can view this on the "kingoftheroad" site, url listed in Dave's posting above. ABC also had an animated color announcement during this time.
