CBS News Sunday Morning
Background
CBS Sunday Morning is a news-magazine created by CBS News which debuted on January 28th 1979 with Charles Kuralt as the anchor. Sunday Morning is known for its iconic sun logo and its theme which is the fanfare "Abblasen" composed by 18th century composer Gottfried Reiche.
1st Logo (1979-1993)
Visuals: We see a light yellow sun rise then when the sun reaches the middle it zooms backwards and then an orange CBS eye logo zooms forward with a trail following it, then we see the days SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY and FRIDAY (in a blocky font) scroll in from top to bottom, then the days move forward towards the viewer then a orange trail is seen then the day SUNDAY follows the orange trail backwards and when it reaches the end of the trail theres a flash that reveals the text CBS News on the top of SUNDAY and the word MORNING below SUNDAY the the black backround fades away to reveal the set
Variants: Starting in 1986 the day SATURDAY is added to the intro and the CBS eye is red and the sun is orange and the days SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY and FRIDAY are in yellow and the day SATURDAY is in purple when the days scroll and when the days move forward towards the viewer.
