The image is striking: A city skyline, bracketed with palm trees, as a single building rises, like the tip of cigarette butt, to lean against the logo for CBS' gritty crime drama CSI: Miami.

It's a photo the network has placed on promotional video clips since May, and there's just one problem.

The image is from Tampa.

(UPDATE: A CBS spokeswoman says the network will change the image in the logo, which was grabbed from a package of tropical photos that were assumed to all have been taken in Miami)

The image in the show's logo is likely a shot of the Rivergate Tower in downtown Tampa, a structure affectionately known here as The "Beer Can" building.

A staffer in Miami-Dade's Office of Film and Entertainment said the image is definitely from Tampa -- noting that CSI: Miami mostly films in California and only shoots exterior scenes in their city a few times each season.

A spokeswoman for CBS reacted with alarm when told of the discrepancy, noting that the network "strives for complete accuracy" in its materials.

I've been dealing with Hollywood long enough to know that, to most folks in that town, there's not a lot of difference between Tampa and Miami (if I had a dime for every time a publicist suggested I pop down to Miami for an event, I wouldn't be writing this blog).

But it is more than a little ironic that one of Tampa's biggest downtown landmarks would gain national attention through a photo promoting a TV series set in Miami.

Guess it's time to get that photo of Chicago's John Hancock building out of the credits for CSY: NY -- or into it!

(Many thanks to St. Petersburg Times staffer Ron Thompson for first alerting me to the image in the logo)
