Paramount Family Entertainment

Background

Paramount Pictures is the second oldest-running movie studio in Hollywood (second only to Universal Pictures, which was founded eight days earlier). Paramount traces its history back to May 8, 1912, when it was originally founded as Famous Players Film Company by Hungarian-born Adolph Zukor. He had been an early investor in nickelodeons (film theaters that cost 5 cents for admission), and saw that movies appealed mainly to working-class immigrants. With partners Daniel Frohman and Charles Frohman, he planned to offer motion pictures that would appeal to the middle class by featuring leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan "famous players in famous plays"). By 1913, Famous Players had completed five films and Zukor was on his way to success. That same year, fellow aspiring producer Jesse L. Lasky opened the Lasky Feature Play Company with money borrowed from his brother-in-law - the founder of Goldwyn Pictures (later part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios) Samuel Goldfish (later known as Samuel Goldwyn). The Lasky company hired Cecil B. DeMille, a stage director with virtually no film experience, as their first employee; DeMille would find a suitable location site in Hollywood for his first film The Squaw Man (1914).

In 1914, Famous Players was renamed Paramount Pictures Corporation. In 1948, Paramount was taken to the United States Supreme Court. This case, known as United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., resulted in studios being forced to divest themselves of their theater holdings and, in addition to the concurrent rise of television, would mark the beginning of the end for the old "studio system". In 1959, Adolph Zukor stepped down from running the studio and assumed the role of chairman, which he held until 1964, and was replaced with Caidin Johnson and Jessica Coleman on November 12, 2001. On March 24, 1966, Paramount was acquired by Gulf+Western Industries, which later became Paramount Communications on June 5, 1989. As part of the acquisition by Gulf+Western, Lucille Ball's Desilu Productions and the Desilu lot were brought under Paramount's control and, in 1967, Desilu was renamed to Paramount Television.

On March 11, 1994, Paramount Communications was merged with Viacom. On December 31, 2005, Viacom split into two companies: one retaining its original name (inheriting Paramount, MTV Networks and BET Networks) and the other being named CBS Corporation (inheriting Paramount's television production and distribution arms, currently known as CBS Studios, CBS Media Ventures and Paramount Global Content Distribution, respectively), with both companies owned by National Amusements. Television rights to Paramount's library are currently handled by Trifecta Entertainment & Media. Paramount relaunched its Paramount Television division (now known as "Paramount Television Studios") on March 4, 2013. On October 23, 2015, it was announced that Paramount would close their company several times since March 31, 2017, such as from October 19-22, 2018, due to a rip-off order from Verizon. On August 13, 2019, it was announced that Viacom and CBS would reunite and merge to form ViacomCBS; the merger was completed on December 25, 2020. Coleman left Paramount in 2021, with Johnson blaming him for the studio's financial issues during the 9/11 attacks, and was replaced with Louis Stadlen. On February 16, 2022, ViacomCBS was renamed Paramount Global (or simply Paramount for short), named after the studio. On April 16, 2024, the current mascot for Nickelodeon, SpongeBob was merged with Paramount's mascot, Mr. Whiskers due to Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Two being the final appearance of Paramount Home Entertainment's first logo due to Johnny Test's old YouTube channel ceasing operations due to a sequel to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode The Sponge Who Could Fly due to the 2021 Amblin Entertainment vault fire on March 12, 2024.

2nd Logo (November 10, 1918-June 11, 1927)

Template:Youtube

Logo: We see one of the following bylines at the top of the screen:

• "ADOLPH ZUKOR PRESENTS" (films produced on the East Coast).
• "JESSE L. LASKY PRESENTS" (films produced on the West Coast).
• "ADOLPH ZUKOR AND JESSE L. LASKY PRESENT" (films produced on both coasts).

Below, we see the title of the film and more info. Somewhere on the screen, we see a snow-capped mountain poking out of a cloud at the bottom, surrounded by a ring of stars. There is text overlapping the mountain reading:

AParamountPicture

At the bottom of the screen is a box with two Paramount pseudo-logos on either side. Each has a ring of stars inside a ring; the one the right reads "Paramount Pictures, and the other has some more text. At the top of the box, we see "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]". Inside the box, we see the words "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION" in a large font. Below this, we see the words "ADOLPH ZUKOR, PRESIDENT" in a slightly smaller font. Below Zukor's name, we see the words "NEW YORK CITY". Below the box, we see, in a large font, "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED".

Variants:

• Some films, such as His Sweetheart, Her Strange Wedding, The Secret Game, Male and Female, The Copperhead, Excuse My Dust, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Why Change Your Wife?, Forbidden Fruit, Leap Year, The Affairs of Anatol, Miss Lulu Bett, The Sheik, Moran of the Lady Letty, and Blood and Sand, omit the Paramount Pictures logo.
• On Zaza (1923) and So's Your Old Man (1926), the "A Paramount Picture" logo is seen in a background, containing credits which overlap the logo.
• On The False Faces, there is the print logo on the bottom right corner. On the top corner of the screen is the Thomas H. Ince Productions logo with the trademark notice below it.
• On Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, the box is replaced with the "A Paramount Picture" logo with the print logo on the right with the words "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION" on the top of the screen.
• On Behind the Door, there is the text "A Paramount Artcraft Special" with the Paramount Pictures and Artcraft Pictures logos on either side on each boxes.
• On Peter Pan (1924), the "TRADE MARK" notices are below each Paramount pseudo-logos.
• Starting with the release of You Never Know Women in 1926, the "Paramount Pictures" pseudo-logos on either side of the box are removed.
  • On Old Ironsides, there are the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]" on the upper-left side of the box and "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" on the upper-right side of the box.
• On Buster Keaton shorts, the print logo appears below, with copyright notices on either side of the logo.
• On Moran of the Lady Letty, there is a snow-capped mountain, surrounded by a ring of stars. The logo is seen on a black background. Overlapping the logo is the text "A Paramount Picture".
• On the opening of Manhandled (1924), the two Paramount pseudo-logos are split, containing the boxes under each Paramount pseudo-logos.
• Sometimes, only the print logo would be present on screen.
• Closing Titles:
  • 1st Closing Title: On Buster Keaton shorts, there is the title of the film at the top of the screen. Inside the frame, there are the words "THE END". At the bottom of the screen is "Paramount-Arbuckle Comedy" inside the rectangular box.
  • 2nd Closing Title: There are the words "THE END", with the title of the film above. At the bottom of the screen is "A Paramount-Artcraft Picture" inside the rectangle-like shape. Certain films, such as Behind the Door, omit the Paramount Pictures logo.
  • 3rd Closing Title: There is a box from the opening logo at the bottom of the screen during the early variant with a drawing line with the title of the film at the top of the screen with the words "The End" at the center.
  • 4th Closing Title: There are the words "The End" or "THE END", with the title of the film above. There is a logo inside a rectangular box with the text "A Paramount Picture" above the rectangular box.
  • 5th Closing Title: Same as before, but there are the words "THE END" on the screen. At the top of the screen is the title of the film. Below the text "THE END" is the opening logo. On The Covered Wagon (1923), this variant appears superimposed on a marble-like background.
• Closing Variants:
  • On some films, the "A Paramount Picture" logo appears after the movie ends instead. After a few seconds, the "The End" overlaps the logo and fades out or the text "THE END" fading into the logo.
  • Sometimes, the MPPDA logo is seen on the lower-left screen.
  • On It's the Old Army Game (1926), the text "The End" is omitted.
  • Sometimes, the words read "Paramount Pictures".
  • Another variant, from Stage Struck (1925), shows the "THE END" in white script with the "T" and "E" in fancy lettering. After a few seconds, the "A Paramount Picture" pseudo-logo is seen on a reddish pink background, while on Manhandled (1924), there are the words "The End" with the "T" and "E" in fancy lettering. After a few seconds, the "A Paramount Picture" logo is seen on a sepia background.
• On some of Paramount's earlier movies, the pseudo-logo "A Paramount Picture" is nowhere to be seen in the movie's title, keeping only the two small pseudo-logos below the title. Instead, the full "A Paramount Picture" logo is seen after it. After a few seconds, the film's opening credits overlap with the logo. It can be seen on films such as Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (1926) and Running Wild (1927).
• On the openings of Grass, Stage Struck, Moana, Dancing Mothers, It's the Old Army Game, Nell Gwyn, Fine Manners and So's Your Old Man, the credits are seen, with the print logo at the bottom shown between the two words, being similar to the Closing Titles.
  • On some films, such as The Show-Off (1926), the words "A Paramount Picture" appear below the credits, with the two small pseudo-logos between the copyright notice are shown below the title.
• Early Variant: There are the words "A Famous Players-Lasky Super Production" or "A Paramount Picture" with the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]" below, all above the box. There is the Paramount Pictures logo on the left and Artcraft Pictures or the Paramount Pictures logo on the right with "TRADE MARK" notices on either side of the logos. Inside the box, there are the words "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION" in a large font. Below "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION" (with the word "BY" above the letter "L" in "LASKY"), there are the words "ADOLPH ZUKOR Pres. JESSE L. LASKY Producer CECIL B. DEMILLE Director General", and below that, there are the words "NEW YORK".
  • Starting with the release of The Sheik in 1921, the words "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" appear below the box.
  • Earlier films until 1920 would have the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR] BY" above "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION".
  • On films distributed by Paramount-Artcraft, the text "A Paramount-Artcraft Picture" appears above the box.
  • Starting with the release of Blood and Sand in 1922, the word "BY" was removed, and "ADOLPH ZUKOR Pres. JESSE L. LASKY Producer CECIL B. DEMILLE Director General" was changed to "ADOLPH ZUKOR, President". Also, the text "NEW YORK" was changed to "NEW YORK CITY".
  • Some films do not have "TRADE MARK".

FX/SFX/Trivia: None. It was actually a painting that was filmed by a cameraman.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Most of Paramount's silent output featured its print logo over the opening and ending titles, while later films featured the onscreen logo fading into the film's title card. Like most silent films before 1924, the rest are in public domain or have passed on to other companies that released versions with copyrighted music scores. Most of these versions use new opening titles due to lost material for the original credits (the current version of Metropolis is an example of this); however, some films such as such as the restored version of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan have survived with the original Paramount tags intact. A picture showing the filming of this logo can be found on page 71 of the book A Pictorial History of the Western Film. The variants are ultra rare, although it was kept intact on the DVD of Love 'Em or Leave 'Em.

Nicknames: "1940's Mountain"

Logo: We see a snow-capped mountain against a dark sky, with clouds that look like smoke. Encircling the mountain are 24 stars, accompanied by the following text in a majestic script font overlapping the mountain:

AParamountPicture

Trivia:

• The mountain was doodled by William W. Hodkinson during a meeting with Adolph Zukor. It is based off of Ben Lomond Mountain in Utah, which is near where Hodkinson spent his childhood.
• 24 stars surround the mountain: one for each movie star that had a contract with the studio at the time, which were Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pinky, The Brain, Wile E. Coyote, Mr. Whiskers, Brandy, Lolaboa, Gaspar, Ed, Cheryl, Meryl, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, Owen, Geoff, Sam, Max, Caidin and Louis.

Bylines:

• December 22, 1925-December 6, 1930: Came a new logo when they took of the information for the famous players Lasky Corporation in September 1927, Famous Players-Lasky was reorganized under the name Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, later becoming the Paramount Pictures Corporation.
• June 20, 1929-August 7, 1936: Came a new logo and the why did you cough theme started out as from MGM's Singing In The Rain and was first seen on Paramount on Parade and Applause.
• March 13, 1936-December 15, 1941: The logo was reanimated to be in three-strip technicolor because of the invention of the break-a-ball in The Trail of Lonesome Pine by Jonathon DeLonge.
• December 10, 1941-December 10, 2020: Same as in 1936, only the stripes were removed and the flag became simply a mountain without markings (the Paramount website implies that the change was to coincide with a new law that forbade the usage of an American flag being modified), dark on the left side but only the shadows of the folds differentiating the rest of it from the mountain's design from the previous byline. The stars was also modified, and the mountain became slightly taller. Even though the March 2020 rerelease of Risk, Whack, Rob and Max had the normal version of this variant, the logo had to be recreated with the stripes on the stars on it on the original version because of the studio being broken.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the clouds around the mountain are foggier.
• At the end of Barbed Wire (1927), the "A Paramount Picture" logo is seen. After a few seconds, the words "The End" fade in.
• On films starring Harold Lloyd, there is a copyright notice for Harold Lloyd Corporation below the logo.
• On The Letter (1929), the logo is still.
• On title cards for movies released between 1927 and 1930, the box from the previous logo appears at the bottom of the screen (with the two Paramount pseudo-logos are removed). Inside the box, there are the words "PARAMOUNT FAMOUS LASKY CORPORATION" in a large font. Below this, there are the words "ADOLPH ZUKOR, PRESIDENT" in a slightly smaller font. Below Zukor's name, there are the words "NEW YORK CITY". There are the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]" on the upper-left or on the left side of the box and "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" on the upper-right or on the right side of the box.
  • On Wings, there are the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]" on the top of the box with "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" omitted.
  • On Children of Divorce, the word "PARAMOUNT FAMOUS LASKY CORPORATION" is replaced by "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION".
  • On some films, there are the words "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]" on the right side of the box and "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" on the left side of the box.
  • Starting in 1928, the words "WESTERN ELECTRIC SYSTEM" appear below the box.
• Although the same general design of this logo remained the same, there were subtle changes from 1929 to 1931, including brighter stars on some films released from 1927 to 1930, the redone version of the stars on some films released from 1930 to 1935, or the slightly different design on films from 1935 to 1939 and from 1936 to 1939, respectively. From 1937 to 1939, and from 1939 to 1942, the words "A" and "Picture" fade out a little, and the word either "ADOLPH ZUKOR PRESENTS", or "Paramount PRESENTS" fades in below "Paramount", or sometimes nothing on the logo, respectively.
• There are also sepia and blue toned variants.
• Some films in the early 1930s features the National Recovery Administration (NRA), a new deal agency existed between 1933 and 1935, and a MPPDA card at the start, respectively, before preceded by the Paramountain logo.
• On the infamous Koch Media widescreen DVD and Blu-ray of the 1939 animated film Gulliver's Travels, the opening Paramount logo is still on a (poorly) retouched widescreen background, then the "filmed" portion of the mountain stretches and morphs as its fades into the opening title card. The closing variant is similar to the opening version as well, morphing and all.
• In earlier color films released from 1930 to 1939, the logo is colored in blue/purple. Starting in 1941, the logo is more colorized.
  • Some colorized versions of black and white films has the clouds colored in blue or sea blue, with mountains colored in yellow or dark colors.
  • Another colorized version of the 1936-1939 variant exists, where the clouds are colored in either denim blue, dark blue, or a sea green. The mountains are also colored either yellow shade or in dark colors, respectively.
• Sometimes, the word "Release" replaces "Picture", although The House That Shadows Built uses the word "Program" instead.
• On Horse Feathers and Now and Forever, the logo has 23 stars instead of 24.
• On The Cocoanuts, there are the words "The END" fading into the closing logo.

Technique: Possibly cel animation, given the gliding cloud effect.

Music/Sounds: The beginning or end of a movie's theme.

Music/Sounds Variant: Starting with the 1930 film Paramount on Parade, almost all films from Paramount use the fanfare of the same name (written by Elsie Janis and Jack King).

Availability: This is still easy to find on films of the era.

• On old prints of Paramount films distributed by MCA TV through EMKA, they are usually plastered with the MCA-TV logo of the time.
• On current prints that Universal owns from the EMKA package, the 1997 Universal logo precedes it.
• The last film to use this logo was Forever Female.
• The logo also made a surprise appearance at the beginning of Broadway Bill (originally a Columbia Pictures release that Paramount acquired the rights to years after they remade that film as Riding High).

Legacy: One of the most iconic logos during Hollywood's golden age, and one of Paramount's most famous logos in general, given its lifespan.

4th Logo (1934-1949)

Nickname: "1930's Mountain"

Logos:

• 1934-1936 Variant: We see a mountain shooting above a cloud deck, with a ring of 19 or 24 stars (similar to the 7th logo). In an unusual font, we see the words "A Paramount Picture".
• 1936-1949 Variant: We see a brown mountain with a brownish sky. This is similar to the Paramount movie logo, except the word "Paramount" is slightly below the top of the mountain, which has 30 stars.

Openings:

• Popular Science: We see a cartoon airplane zooming toward us. After the plane passes, we see either "ADOLPH ZUKOR PRESENTS" or "PARAMOUNT PRESENTS" while we're looking down at the airplane. The words "POPULAR SCIENCE" are seen on the airplane's wings. At the bottom is a copyright notice and a Paramount pseudo-logo. Also present may be another copyright notice for Shields Pictures.
• Unusual Occupations: On a shining red background, we see the above words, except the words "UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS" are seen.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds:

• Popular Science: A variation of the Paramount on Parade fanfare accompanies the sound of the airplane passing.
• Unusual Occupations: A patriotic theme is heard, which leads into a medley of "I've Been Working on the Railroad", "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".

Availability: Near extinction. The aforementioned shorts have had barely any exposure since AMC stopped playing them over a decade ago (when they aired them under the umbrella title AMC Short Cuts). It can be found on a GoodTimes Entertainment DVD release of Popeye: When Popeye Ruled The World, which contains a short featuring behind-the-scenes footage of a Popeye cartoon.

5th Logo (October 23, 1941-October 23, 2020)

Nicknames:"Scary Part", Caidin's Scream

Logo: A gray rabbit screams to Steve falling, a jaw harp, extreme close-ups of faces or somebody crying for the first time.

Variants:

• In mid-1999, the trailer for The Nuttiest Nutcracker, a policy trailer for Caidin Cinemas where this version of the A Paramount Release logo mainly appears on until 2009 entitled Cheaks and Cheaks and Sold would interrupt a TV Show starting on May 16, 2003 with VeggieTales, Teletubbies, Bear in the Big Blue House, Barney & Friends and Pac Man when the hidden scary parts for the Barney & Friends episode Good Clean Fun were shown over Kristen, Robert and Jeff with Huhuhuhuhoom, Boing and Gialolilo SFX. It also makes a cameo in The Break-A-Ball Movie after the fourth time they Broke-A-Ball.
• From May 16, 2003 to September 11, 2005, the policy trailer would feature both Pac Man and Pac Man Jr.
• n Season 3, Ms. Pac Man was added to the policy trailer.
• In Season 4, Pac Man Jr. and Ms. Pac Man were removed from the Feature Presentation bumper.
• In Season 1, the original 1999 version of this logo, the Teletubbies part was omitted and Bob and Larry and Pac Man are in custom versions.
• On it’s last appearance on January 3, 2010, the Feature Presentation bumper is in 16:9 and the second version of VeggieTales from Madame Blueberry was replaced with the third version from Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush.
• On The Break-A-Ball Movie, the Feature Presentation bumper is in 16:9, the second version of VeggieTales from Madame Blueberry was replaced with the fourth version from VeggieTales in the City and the original Teletubbies was plastered with the reboot.
• Sometimes before Caidin stopped hating VeggieTales, Larry would say sorry instead of Larry's nose poking Caidin’s nose.
• When Caidin started liking VeggieTales in late Season 4, this policy trailer was only compatible with Grammy Blair Johnson’s TV and Bungyung's TV.
• Larry once chased Caidin when he ran out of his house before his nose poked Caidin's nose.
• There was also one time where Pac Man poked Caidin’s nose and electrocuted and killed him before going to a store, as well as Larry's nose once poking Caidin's nose at a neighbor’s house while driving back from school and the second VeggieTales part and the Pac Man part of Cheaks and Cheaks and Sold being shown after the Sony Computer Entertainment logo on Pac-Man World 2 when he turned on a PS2.
• Until 2004, it either hurt your ears or your belly.
• From 2005 to 2016, it only hurts your belly.
• On the 1994 VHS of Winnie the Pooh and The Blustery Day, the videotaped version is covered in silver lines.
  • On a 1996 reprint of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, an enhanced version of this variant was used.
  • A filmed version of this variant was used on a 1994 episode of Rugrats.
• On February 7, 2020, a new version was done and announced in January 2014 by screaming and jumping at the same time the scary part appears. It was first used during an airing of the Teen Titans Go! episode: The Streak in December 2017. So far, the filmed version has been spotted on Blues Clues: Blues Favorite Song, Sabrina: The Animated Series: Anything But Here and possibly an unknown episode of Barney & Friends/Pinkfong from either Season 7 or Season 8.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Your scream.

Music/Sounds Variant: A silent version of the videotaped version of the 2004 scream appears at the beginning of the 1998 VHS of Blue's Clues: Blue's Birthday.

Availability: Very common.

• The 1941 and 2004 byline versions are only supposed to be used on Barney, Looney Tunes, Blue’s Clues, Dora the Explorer, Oswald, Bear in the Big Blue House, Ni Hao Kai Lan, Happy Tree Friends, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy, Go Diego Go, Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Spongebob Squarepants, Rugrats, Shows produced by PBS Kids, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Higglytown Heroes and films or direct-to-video programs made by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox. However, they accidentally appeared on Frosty the Snowman, Hey Arnold!: The Movie, an episode of Team Umizoomi, Despicable Me, an episode of Wonder Pets, a couple episodes of the first season of Dino Dan (even though they don’t involve boings, close-ups or crying), an episode of Moose and Zee, an episode of miss spider’s sunny patch friends, an episode of peppa pig, several Tom and Jerry cartoons, the Teen Titans Go! episode, The Streak, and Madagascar (trailer only).
• The 2020 version was the first to appear on Teen Titans Go and Sam and Max.
• The oldest known VHS release to use this logo was the 1941 version of Dumbo, according to a time Caidin went to the Disney VHS cinema at Walt Disney World and had to leave, which was the same cinema caidin went to on the Season 2 premiere of The Caidin Show, when he did a parody of two Blue’s Clues episodes, with him dressed up as Steve from Blues Clues and Angelica from Rugrats. He also left when he saw The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Robots, Despicable Me, Finding Dory, Bee Movie and Lisa’s Toy Story 2.
• A modified version of the 2004 scream was only used on the Blue's Clues Season 1 episode, What Does Blue Want to Make when the third clue was found and Toy Story 2 when Andy rips Woody. The standard version would only be used for extreme close ups, Hanna Barbara boing sound effects, a character crying for the first time and Steve or Yakko falling.
• Paramount Home Entertainment would never have a scary part that involves crying that hurts your ears because it would be too hard to use.
• A scary part can be found in My Rugrats VHS Collection by BmxBrandon2, but the video was deleted to make room for a new one.
• One of it’s worst appearances was the Blues Clues season 3 episode, What’s So Funny, as shown in the scary part of 100th Episode Celebration, along with both of the scary parts from Snack Time and the scary part from Let’s Boogie, because it scares you the same way as a What Does Blue Want to Make Out Of Recycled Things, which makes you scream the loudest, according the January 2014 and December 2015 announcement emails.
• Inspired byGrease, The scary part was for the same reason as the Brandy and Mr. Whiskers episode, Must Go Wrong.Greasewas also the only VHS you owned that had the Gulf+Western version of the 1989-2002 Feature Presentation, going over the 1993 McDonald’s VHS ofGhost(one of the tapes you had that used the Paramount Communications version of the 1989-2002 Feature Presentation), the 2001 VHS ofSave The Last Dance(one of the tapes you had that used the Viacom version of the 1989-2002 Feature Presentation) and the 2002 VHS ofVanilla Sky(one of the tapes you had that used the 90th Anniversary version of the 2002-2018 Feature Presentation), Also, some prints of Changing Lanes do have this logo, but it cuts to the 1995 warning screen instead of the 2002 one (this is probably due to the fact that some prints use the previous Feature Presentation screen, based on Save The Last Dance instead of this one, based on Vanilla Sky), which means the first VHS to use the 2002 logo was also the 2002 VHS ofVanillaSky. This is mentioned in most episodes of The Caidin Show and The Johnson Show.
• The 1941 scream that hurts your ears is shown as an Easter Egg at the end of the 2003 VHS releases of Rugrats Mysteries, SpongeBob SquarePants: Deep Sea Sillies, Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Band and The Caidin Show: Season 1, which counts as a Looney Tunes scary part, seconds after the static, features footage of a rollercoaster at SixFlags and then it cuts to a white screen featuring Mickey Mouse and Blue from Blue’s Clues, reading "Please Rewind". Another Easter Egg on those tapes, which also counts as a Looney Tunes scary part and uses the 2004 scream appears seconds after that part features a picture of a 2 month old girl’s face in a watermelon that pokes your nose like Larry from Veggietales in Cheaks and Cheaks and Sold.
• There are no scary parts released in 2013 or 2021, and on an upcoming 2022 VHS release, this logo was replaced with the Pinkfong Home Entertainment logo.

Editor's Note: Cheaks and Cheaks and Sold (as mentioned before) was a test pattern featuring clips of Veggietales (where larry pokes your nose for the 1941 version that hurts your tummy with Laura poking mommy's nose and bob poking grammy's nose and the part where the rest of the veggietales characters shout "hooray"), Teletubbies (featuring a scene that's a combination of the opening and the closing of the show) and Pac-Man (which took Lala's ball for the 1941 version that hurts your ears when he dropped it) that ran from May 16, 2003 to January 3, 2010 and both count as a Bear in The Big Blue House scary part. A short prototype version of this was shown on 1999 Columbia Tristar Home Video VHS tapes.

6th Logo (December 23, 1950-October 22, 1953)

Nicknames: "1950's Mountain"

Logo: Same as the 3rd logo, but this variation looks more marble and uneven in appearance. The sky background is a bit lighter as well.

Variant:

• Prior to the release of the widescreen feature Shane, the logo appears closer up.
• A German version has been spotted at the end of The War of the Worlds and at the beginning of When Worlds Collide.

FX/SFX: Same as the 3rd logo.

Music/Sounds: Usually the opening music/audio of any given film. Sometimes it is silent, and on rare occasions, it uses the Paramount on Parade theme.

Availability: Uncommon. It's still seen on Paramount color releases of the period, including Branded, When Worlds Collide, The Greatest Show on Earth, Shane, Arrowhead, and The War of the Worlds, among others. The last film to use this logo was Here Come the Girls. Also, it makes a surprise appearance at the beginning of the Duckman episode "The Road to Dendron".

Availability: Uncommon. It's still seen on Paramount color releases of the period, including Branded, When Worlds Collide, The Greatest Show on Earth, Shane, Arrowhead, and The War of the Worlds, among others. The last film to use this logo was Here Come the Girls. Also, it makes a surprise appearance at the beginning of the Duckman episode "The Road to Dendron".

Editor's Note: The lopsided mountain makes this one an eyesore, especially with the stars now being disconnected.

7th Logo (May 27, 1953-September 24, 1975)

Nicknames: "1960's Mountain", "Gulf+Western Mountain".

Music/Sounds Variants:

• The VistaVision fanfare was sometimes specially rearranged for films such as The Desperate Hours (Gail Kubik and Daniele Amfitheatrof), The Tin Star (Elmer Bernstein) and Artists and Models (Walter Scharf, also in a lower pitch).
• On White Christmas, the final notes of the Paramount on Parade fanfare are heard, followed by the sound of a bell.
• For the "COMING FROM" variant, a rhythmic timpani sound is heard for each word that appears, followed by a drum beat.
• On Money from Home, a different brass fanfare is heard, composed by Leigh Harline.
• Some TV movies such as Seven in Darkness have an extended version of the 1969 Paramount Television "Closet Killer" theme from the era.
• On Charlotte's Web, a 13-note orchestra fanfare featuring part of the opening song "Deep in the Dark" is heard (the music starts before the logo fades in and finishes when the logo fades out).

Availability: Common. Again, preserved on most Paramount releases of the period.

• The version without the VistaVision logo was first seen on Paramount's first 3D film Sangaree.
• The VistaVision version is often seen on Western films (such as Last Train from Gun Hill, the Magnetic Video release of which preserves the logo in its entirety; also on the film's Starmaker Video VHS release) and is also seen on White Christmas (the first film to use the VistaVision variation) and Vertigo.
• It was plastered by the 1963 Universal logo at the beginning of four Alfred Hitchcock films that Paramount merely released: The Trouble with Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, and Rear Window. Recent remastered prints of those films restore the Paramount logo on their current DVD and Blu-ray releases. Also, Psycho, another Hitchcock production released by Paramount, preserved this logo on its initial MCA Videocassette release, as well as all releases from 1989 onward. It is unknown whether this logo and/or the Universal logo appears on the DiscoVision release.
• This logo surprisingly appeared at the beginning of the Indiana Jones films (with the Gulf+Western byline from the 6th logo added in) and Big Top Pee-wee.
• Among the titles released with the 1968-74 variation were The Godfather (at least on the 1990 VHS; most prints have either newer Paramount logos or none at all), Catch-22, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Charlotte's Web, Paint Your Wagon, Harold and Maude, and Rosemary's Baby. Also seen at the end of the 2001 DVD release of The Godfather Part II and Chinatown, which had the 2nd logo at the beginning. It also appeared at the beginning of Escape from Zahrain (1962) when it was streamed on the Paramount Vault YouTube channel in 2016; it is unknown if it plastered the 1953-69 version.
• BBC One UK airings of the original 1969 version of The Italian Job retains the logo, sometimes after the Wonderful World of Disney intro.
• Original theatrical prints of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory contained the 1968-74 logo, but the rights were sold to Warner Bros. after that film initially underperformed at the box office; so most newer prints plaster this with a variety of Warner Bros. logos, most prominently the various 1990s Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logos. However, the 2021 UHD of the film restores the Paramount logo after nearly 50 years of plastering.
• The 1974-75 variation can be found on the original 1974 version of The Great Gatsby, The Longest Yard, The Godfather Part II, The Day of the Locust, Bug, Nashville, Framed, and Three Days of the Condor, and also plasters the 1968-74 variation on many current prints of Goodbye, Columbus.
• Newer prints of Danger: Diabolik and Such Good Friends, the 1995 VHS release of Charlotte's Web, and earlier DVD releases of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II have this logo plastered with the 1986 logo, while many current prints of Once Upon a Time in the West, Barbarella, Ace High, Downhill Racer, Fear is the Key, Three Days of the Condor, and Murphy's War have the 1968-74 variation plastered with the of the 7th logo (although this logo is kept at the end of Barbarella).
• The last film to use this logo was Three Days of the Condor.

Editor's Note: This is one of the more famous logos of Paramount, and is a favorite among fans of their older catalogue. Also, the mountain seen here would later serve as a template for all future Paramount logos.

8th Logo (October 8, 1975-December 12, 1986, September 23, 2016)

 

   

Nicknames: "1970's Mountain", "Gulf+Western Mountain II", "Barry Diller Mountain"

Logo: We see the same mountain from the 6th logo, only slightly less detailed. 22 white stars encircling the mountain fade in all at once, followed by the word "Paramount" on the mountain's peak (in a redone script font). The Gulf+Western byline (this time with each word stacked) and a registered trademark symbol ("®") also appear at the same time below it. The scene then crossfades to a navy blue version of Paramount's print logo (with the stars still in white) on a sky blue background.

Trivia:

• The final product is similar to the Paramount Television logo of the period, only with slightly darker colors.
• The design of this logo allowed it to be used as a full closing logo rather than a simple still variant.

Variants:

• The distance between the words and the mountain tip sometimes varies.
• The size and the color tint of the logo may vary.
• A variation of this logo was used as a bumper for trailers for upcoming films with the words "Coming From" above. However, trailers for Popeye, D.A.R.Y.L. and other films use the normal version instead.
• On a promotional film for the studio, a circle of stars is seen and the logo is revealed, but is completely white.
• On some French releases, the finished product looks more like the previous logo. The Gulf+Western byline is larger, in a different font, and moved up the mountain.

FX/SFX: The clouds moving, the stars, company name, and byline fading in.

Music/Sounds: None or the film's opening/closing theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• 1976-1985: In some cases, a new orchestral fanfare by Jerry Goldsmith was used for the "Coming From" variant on trailers for films like Islands in the Stream, Saturday Night Fever, Foul Play, and Airplane!. A few films such as Starting Over had this fanfare at the beginning.
• On Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood, another orchestral fanfare by Neal Hefti was used, which sounds similar to the Paramount on Parade theme.
• Pre-1998 prints of Grease had a theme which seems to be a horn re-orchestration of the intro to "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" or the 1976 Paramount Television fanfare. The Grease 40th Anniversary DVD/Blu-ray restores the horn theme.
• On the promotional film variant, a male announcer says, "In 1985, Paramount has a whole new attitude."

Availability: Common. Can be found on most release versions of Paramount's mid-'70s-mid-'80s output. Most films released on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, as well as TV prints, have this logo intact or restored as well. Some well-known movies that used this include The Bad News Bears, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Heaven Can Wait, The Warriors, Escape from Alcatraz, the first four Star Trek films, the first six Friday the 13th films, Airplane!, An Officer and a Gentleman, 48 Hrs., Flashdance, Trading Places, Terms of Endearment, Footloose, Beverly Hills Cop, Pretty in Pink, Top Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Crocodile Dundee.

• The first film to use this logo was Mahogany, and the last to use it was Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
• This logo has been restored on the recent Sony DVD release and TV airings of Meatballs, which previously plastered it with the 9th logo.
• It also appears at the end of the first two Indiana Jones films (and the DVD release of the third film) and the 1980 film Popeye, which all had the 5th logo at the beginning.
• The 1976 variation can be found on Lipstick, The Bad News Bears, Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood, the 1996 VHS release of Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown, Gallipoli (although the recent 2015 Region 4 DVD release and a Nine Network broadcast of the film had it replaced by a remastered per frame screen), US prints of Bugsy Malone, and current prints of Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
• Some films have this plastered with the next logo in any of its three byline variations, such as Grease starting with its 1998 video releases, the 1976 version of King Kong, and the 2002 DVD release of Mahogany (all with the Viacom byline version). Early video releases and some post-2005 prints of Top Gun retain this logo, though all other copies plaster it with the 7th logo (although the 1987 VHS retained this logo at the very end, as it was plastered by the "75th Anniversary" variant of the 7th logo at the beginning). Late 1990s American TV broadcasts of Dragonslayer briefly plastered this logo with the Viacom byline version, but recent broadcasts retain the original logo. The 2001 Director's Cut DVD of Star Trek: The Motion Picture also replaced this logo with the 1986 version, although it's retained on copies of the theatrical cut.
• The last film to use this logo was The Golden Child (albeit at the end; the 8th logo made its debut at the beginning of the film).
• Of the films released during Paramount's distribution pact with Lorimar, An Officer and a Gentleman still has this logo due to it being financed and owned outright by Paramount, but the 1981 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice, Escape to Victory, S.O.B., and The Sea Wolves all have it replaced by the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures logo on most current prints (since the studio only had North American distribution rights). Night School, however, had this and the Lorimar logo intact on a recent Movie Channel airing, and on the widescreen laserdisc, with Warner's "Shield of Staleness" preceding it.
• The "Coming From" variant is usually preserved on trailers for films such as Flashdance, Saturday Night Fever, and Islands in the Stream on their DVD and Blu-ray releases. While the 8th logo plasters this (but retains the original fanfare) on the iTunes and Blu-ray trailer for Airplane!, the DVD release retains the original variation.
• This logo is seen on the 1982 Paramount Home Video Gateway Video VHS release of the Star Trek episode "Space Seed", following the 1980 Acid Trip warning and preceding the episode (the Betamax version precedes the episode with a trailer for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan after the warning, instead of the logo).
• Strangely, this appears after the credits on the VHS release of Jailbait (aka Streetwise), at least on the screener VHS, and most prints of Storks.
• This may have been seen on Canadian theatrical prints of De Laurentiis Entertainment Group films such as The Transformers: The Movie.

Editor's Note: This is also another famous Paramount logo, and the only one that is fully abstract, though the earlier variants look really awkward and ugly with their odd differences in size.

9th Logo (December 12, 1986-March 25, 2022)

Prototype 75th anniversary variant

Official 75th anniversary variant

The End version

Nicknames: "1980s/1990s Mountain", "Viacom Mountain"

Logo: We see a model of a mountain with a CGI lake in front of it and a light blue/yellow gradient sky with a yellow sunset behind it. As the sky darkens, the camera zooms towards the mountain as 22 silver CGI stars fly from the bottom left and encircle the mountain. The "Paramount" script, redone in a shiny silver color, then fades in on the peak of the mountain, along with a registered trademark "®" symbol. One of the three bylines (as seen below) fades in below.

Trivia:

• The logo was designed and composited by Jay Jacoby at Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation), who went on to produce the logos for Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox in 1990 and 1994, respectively. The CGI stars were created by David Sieg at Omnibus/Abel on a III Foonly F1 computer and the mountain scenery was a physical model created and filmed by Apogee, Inc. The 1999 enhanced version is alleged to have been animated at Pixar Animation Studios, though this remains unconfirmed.
• Paramount used a painting commissioned for its 75th Anniversary from artist Dario Campanile as a basis for this logo, which can be seen here.

Bylines:

• December 12, 1986-August 30, 1989: "A Gulf + Western Company" (which fades in with the Paramount script and looks the same as it did in the previous logo).
• September 22, 1989-January 12, 1999: "A Paramount Communications Company" (with a line above it) fades in. For its first year, the byline faded in with the Paramount script like the Gulf+Western version and was colored gold. On video releases from the era, the color scheme of the logo is more washed out than normal.
• July 22, 1994-January 13, 1995: (bylineless)
• February 17, 1995-September 28, 2019: "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in white, with a line above it in the 1990 \/I/\CO/\/\ "Wigga-Wigga" font), with a line above the byline fades in, again, in white.
• October 4, 2019-March 25, 2022: "A Disney Company" with a line above the byline fades in, even again, in white.

Variants:

• December 12, 1986-December 18, 1987: For this logo's first official year (1987, even though the logo actually debuted in 1986), the words "75th Anniversary" appear over the mountain, between the Paramount script logo and the Gulf + Western byline. "75th" was in silver with "75" bigger and "th" smaller and "Anniversary" in gold. Also, a trademark ("™") symbol was used instead of a registered trademark ("®") symbol. On films such as The Golden Child and Hot Pursuit (the former being one of the first films to use this logo, while the latter has the normal music), a different 75th Anniversary disclaimer appears, the Paramount script is slightly smaller, and the Gulf+Western byline is in a bolder font. It is unknown whether the first two DEG films to use this logo in their Canadian release, Crimes of the Heart and King Kong Lives, used this variant as well.
  • There's a second prototype variant where the Paramount script is still slightly small, but contains elements of the official variant, including the refined 75th Anniversary disclaimer. This can be seen on the original home video releases of Critical Condition; later releases use the official variant instead. It was also spotted on a March 1987 promotional reel.
• February 5, 1988-August 30, 1989: The "75th Anniversary" disclaimer is removed, and the Gulf+Western byline is shifted up slightly.
• March 2, 1990-March 11, 2022: The logo has been slightly enhanced, and the stars have a lighter color.
• May 21, 1993-January 13, 1995: The clouds and stars are slightly darker, and the Paramount Communications byline now has a shadow.
• An early version of the Viacom byline variant has it slightly bigger and off-center. The clouds also stop moving once it fades in, likely because it reuses footage of the Paramount Communications variant. This appears on the first two films that use this byline (The Brady Bunch Movie and Losing Isaiah).
• June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002, March 11, 2022: The same basic concept is here, but the logo was enhanced once more to look nicer. The stars are thicker (with golden sides), shinier, and have a motion blur effect. Their reflection can now be seen in the lake in front of the mountain, and the Paramount script logo and the Viacom byline now shine. The mountain now also turns dark, and the cloud background is slightly enhanced. Also, the "®" symbol now fades in at the same time as the byline. These additions are subtle, but add a lot to the logo nevertheless. This version debuted on South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and made its final appearance on Indiana Jones and Mr. Whiskers.
  • On some films shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, such as Bringing Out the Dead, Mission: Impossible II, Shaft (2000), Rat Race and Indiana Jones and Mr. Whiskers, the logo starts with a still picture of the mountain before animating normally, much like its home video counterpart. It also has a bit of a brownish or bluish color scheme.
  • On some films shot in 16:9 aspect ratio as well as some 2000-2002 films shot in 16:10 aspect ratio, the stars, text and byline are somewhat smaller than the normal 4:3 variant in order to match the aspect ratio
  • An extremely rare videotaped version of the 1999 variant exists, in which the mountain doesn't turn dark. This can be seen on some Paramount VHS trailers from 2000 to 2002, and on Paramount's "Now in Theaters" bumper from 2000 to 2002, although the variant in its entirety hasn't been seen yet.
  • A prototype variant with a more 2D look appears on the teaser trailer of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
  • On Double Jeopardy, the "®" symbol fades in with the Paramount script.
  • On Runaway Bride and Wonder Boys, the "®" symbol and Viacom byline fade in with the Paramount script. Also, the logo starts with a still picture of the mountain before animating normally.
• On CIC Video's The Paramount Movie Show segments, VHS trailers for Chinatown and A Place in the Sun, theatrical trailers for I.Q., The Brady Bunch Movie, Star Trek: Generations, and Braveheart, a TV spot for Milk Money, the teaser trailer for The Indian in the Cupboard, and the second trailer for Forrest Gump, the logo is bylineless.
• On a 1991 trailer tape from CIC Video, the CIC Video logo morphs into the mountain as seen in the start of the logo, as it animates as usual, but with a smaller Paramount Communications byline. The logo then morphs into the Universal logo. This was only seen on some Latin American videos as the beginning of a short promo to commemorative 1,000,000 copies of CIC videotapes sold.
• On a Brazillian TV Spot for Clear and Present Danger, "Distribuido por United International Pictures" appears below the logo.
• On bumpers for the Brazillian channel Telecine, the Viacom byline is replaced with a cheaper one in the font "Eagle".

Closing Variants:

• At the end of movies, the logo appears as a still image. This version also appears on syndicated airings of Death Wish 4: The Crackdown before the Cannon logo.
• Despite replacing the 1995 variant as an opening logo, the 1999 variant is seldom used as a closing logo, with most films released from 1999 to 2019 instead using the 1995 variant at the end, with some exceptions, including it's first and last appearances: the domestic release of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (which was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures internationally) and Indiana Jones and Mr. Whiskers (which was copied from the beginning of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
• On Mission: Impossible II, the logo fades in without the Viacom byline, which fades in after about a second.
• While this, the 1941-2020 version of the 3rd logo, and the 1953, 1975 and the 2011 logos were animated for access for the The End text, the rest of the versions of the 3rd logo, the Warner Bros.-based versions of the 2011 logo and the 2002 logo can't be animated to have the Paramount script removed for the The End text removed because the Paramount script zooms out in those logos.
• However, on BBC airings of Turbo, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Penguins of Madagascar, Home, Kung Fu Panda 3, and Trolls, the 1999 enhanced version of this logo and 11th logo plastered the final 20th Century Fox logo, causing the 1936 version of the 3rd logo and the 10th logo with the stars, text and byline retouched being shown at the end of BBC airings of High, Wide and Awesome, released on July 21, 1937, and The Boss Baby, released on March 31, 2017, which was the film that made Nickelodeon's home video distribution rights with Paramount expire on November 13, 2017, as well as BBC airings of the Extreme Animation DreamWorks Animation films Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie and The Croods: A New Age, even though Paramount's distribution deal with DreamWorks expired on December 10, 2012.
• The reason why Paramount changed back to the 2002 logo for home video releases until 2023 was to prevent a lawsuit with Intralink when that happened, and the reason why a textless version of the 10th logo was released was because Paramount wanted consistency with the DreamWorks Animation films that they distributed.
• But just like the next two logos, this only appeared at the end of modern prints of Universal Pictures' DreamWorks Animation films. The original versions of these films have the 2012 Universal Pictures logo instead.
• A zoomed-in variant of the 1988 version of the 1986 logo also exists, which was seen at the end of a BBC1 UK airing of The Presidio (1988) from February 14, 1995.

Availability: Very common, even though it's been officially retired for 20 years.

• While it's been plastered on some TV airings and video releases of Paramount films (as well as some remastered or restored prints), most of these still retain their original logos.
• The Paramount Communications byline variant can be found on films such as Ghost, The Hunt for Red October, Wayne's World, and Forrest Gump, among others.
• The 1995 Viacom byline variant can be seen on films such as Clueless, Star Trek: First Contact, US prints of Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, and The Truman Show, among many others.
• The 1999 enhanced version can be found on films such as Mission: Impossible II, Save the Last Dance, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Zoolander, and The Iron Giant, among others.

10th Logo
(May 17, 1989-August 20, 2002)

See RVSA Cell Phone Policy Trailers for more details.

11th Logo (March 1, 2002-May 13, 2022)

Nicknames: "2000s Mountain", "Viacom Mountain II"

Logo: We pan down from a starry sky to a set of clouds. As the camera slowly zooms backwards, a few comet-like objects fly down and reveal themselves as the trademark Paramount stars that zoom past the camera. The familiar "Paramount" script (with a gold border) zooms out to show we had been watching a reflection (which fades to white) all along as a total of 22 stars shoot past the script and encircle the mountain behind it. The script continues to zoom out before taking its place at the peak of the mountain. The Viacom byline (once again, with a line above) then fades in below the logo.

Bylines:

• March 1, 2002-August 25, 2015: "/\ \/|/\CO/\/\ CO/\/\PANY" in its 1990 "Wigga-Wigga" font. This version last appeared on She's Out Of My League and the 2015 movie Capture the Flag (for the full animation variant) and Kung Fu Panda 2 (for the closing and distribution variants).
• May 7, 2010-May 13, 2022: "A VIaCOM COMPANY" in its 2005 font. This version first appeared on Iron Man 2 and last appeared at the end of The Dictator.

Goofs:

• It is seen at the end of DreamWorks Animation films released from 2006 to 2011, but not at the beginning of them, unlike 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures. 
• However, it already did. It was spotted at the beginning on the VCD release of Flushed Away on August 17, 2017, and the VHS versions of The Boss Baby and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie on May 26, 2022 before the DreamWorks Animation logo. Some later prints of these movies like the 2018 Blu-ray of Over the Hedge have this plastered with the 2012 Universal logo.
• According to Wakko the Beach Ball Popper, there is a noticeable error in the 2010 version where the stars from the first half of the logo are visible behind the "Paramount" text as it zooms out where the text should normally obscure them.

Availability: Common. Seen on all Paramount films from 2002-2011, as well as video releases from 2002 to 2006 and 2022 to 2023.

• The 90th Anniversary variant was first seen on We Were Soldiers and last appeared on The Wild Thornberrys Movie. It sometimes plastered old logos on 2002 video releases, as well as the TriStar Picture logo on Encore airings of Rambo III.
• The version without the "90^{Template:Small} ANNIVERSARY" disclaimer debuted on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and last appeared on The Adventures of Tintin; its final appearances overall were on the 2012 restorations of Wings and Hondo, and the 2015 movie Capture the Flag. The 2004 logo also made an appearance on the Brazilian theatrical compilation film of the animated series Peixonauta: Agente Secreto da O.S.T.R.A..
• It appears at the end of Grease Sing-a-Long (a re-release of 1978's Grease), which retains the 7th logo at the beginning.
• It also appears at the end of IMAX prints and all international prints of Watchmen; on North American IMAX prints, it is followed by the Warner Bros. Pictures closing logo.
• It plasters the Weintraub Entertainment Group logo on an Encore airing of My Stepmother is an Alien, retaining the film's opening music.
• It plasters the 1982 Orion Pictures logo on HBO, Comedy Central and IFC airings of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (also plasters the closing version of the logo at the end, with the following Nelson Entertainment logo kept at the beginning), and the 1995 MGM logo on older HBO airings of House Arrest.
• Surprisingly, the full version appears at the beginning of a few early episodes of Hogan's Heroes on MeTV, including the pilot episode and the HD remasters on Universal HD.
• Strangely, this logo does not appear at the beginning of Strange Wilderness, although the "Distributed by" variant appears at the end. Some have speculated this might be due to that film's extremely negative reception.
• It reappeared on Capture the Flag (2016), Justice League (2017), The Diaster Artist (2017), Downsizing (2017), Father Fingers (2017), Paddington 2 (2017), 12 Strong (2018), The Cloverfeild Paradox (2018), The 15:17 to Paris (2018), Game Night (2018), Sherlock Gnomes (2018), Tomb Raider (2018), Annihilation (2018), Artificial Intelligence (2018), The Rhythm Section (2020), Mighty Oak (2020) and The Matrix Resurrections (2021) to avoid a lawsuit by TimeWarner in 2007.
• It plasters the 1973 Warner Bros. logo on a VCD release of Cujo due to Paramount gaining the rights to that film when Taft Entertainment was merged into Republic, which became part of Viacom.
• Disney has retained this logo on current prints of Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, all of which Paramount distributed on behalf of Marvel Studios until 2013.
• The closing version of the 90th Anniversary variant of this logo also appears at the end of current prints of Turbulence (1997) as well.
• The 90th Anniversary variant of this logo also appeared at the start of both a December 4, 2022 UK airing of Mean Machine (2001) on Film4 and a December 17, 2022 UK airing of Jackass: The Movie (2002) on Comedy Central, respectively.

Editor's Note: Much like the previous logo, except made with even better CGI.

2011 bylineless logo endangered over the original 90th Anniversary version

2011 bylineless logo and original 90th Anniversary logo endangered over the finalized 90th Anniversary version

Nicknames: "2010s/2020s Mountain", "Warner Bros. Discovery Mountain", "Kittykat the Lion", "9th MGM Lion"

Logo:

• 2011-2018, 2020-: On a dark cloudy background, we see several stars flying towards the camera, a mirrored reference to the previous logo. As the third star flies towards us, we follow the star as the camera pans upward to reveal that we were looking at the reflection of a lake. We follow two of the stars as they skim the lake and create ripples. We continue to fly forward as a total of 22 or 24 stars line up and encircle the mountain ahead. Then the "Paramount" script zooms out to take its place on the mountain, which is situated on a cloudy sunset landscape. The Viacom or ViacomCBS byline then fades in below.
• 2016, 2021: This variation, seen in two films (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and Snake Eyes) is bylineless, has 24 stars, a sky similar to the sky from the 9th logo and a gold mountain that's not similar to Artesonraju. However, on Snake Eyes, the logo became darker and has more extreme animation elements.
• 2018-2019: Same as the Dolphin Tale variant of the 1998 Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo, but the WB shield was replaced with the 1968 print logo with 24 stars, the text "Paramount Family Entertainment" was added on top of the TimeWarner byline, the clouds and sky are replaced with a rainbow gradient background and Mr. Whiskers and Kittykat replaced Bugs Bunny and Alex. This logo first appeared on Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Circle Time Squabble and last appeared on Lady and the Tramp (2019).
• 2019-2021: "A Paramount Picture" or "A Paramount Release" fades in along with the Disney byline. This logo first appeared on Ford v. Ferrari and last appeared on the portugese film Amarração do Amor (Love Binding).
• 2019-: Same as the 2020 in-credit logo, but the Warner Bros. shield and WarnerMedia byline from the 2021 in-credit logo is shown in a white background and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls replaced Mr. Whiskers. This was only seen on Paramount Sing-Along Songs (A D-VHS and DVD series exclusive to The Beach Ball Gang Fan Club) and A Quiet Place Part II.
• 2020-2021, 2023: We see a model of a mountain, with a CGI lake in front of it and a dark blue/red gradient sky with an orange sunset behind it. As the sky darkens, the camera begins to zoom closer to the mountain, as 24 gold stars (also CGI) come from the bottom right while Mr. Whiskers flies on 12 balloons and a handled inflatable ball falls on the mountain, which he rides on. Seconds later, Mr. Whiskers punctures the ball and throws it out of the mountain. After that, the text "A Paramount Picture" or A Paramount Release" fades in with a "™" and a byline reading "A Disney Company" or "a WarnerMedia company". Also, Starting with this logo, Mr. Whiskers now wears glasses.
• 2021-: Starts off similarly to the 2018 logo, but this time, instead of a simple rippling image, the camera pans across a beautiful, photorealistic CGI rendering of the Paramount Family Entertainment backlot (which has the numbers on the sound stages, a red carpet outside the Steven J. Ross Theater, and the smoking roofs on top of various buildings), with the iconic water tower (displaying the "dimensional" version of the 2019 WB shield and "WARNER BROS. STUDIOS" in three rows on it, in the new corporate font, Warner Bros. Sans) taking center stage, á la the Searchlight Pictures logo. After a few seconds, it continues the same way the previous 2 logos did, with the same 2019 WB shield from the previous logo turning upright as it zooms out like the 12th logo, revealing a new, much more realistic and more detailed cloud background. The WarnerMedia byline fades in below as the shield shines.

Trivia: 

• 24 stars surround the mountain: one for each movie star that had a contract with the studio at the time, which were Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pinky, The Brain, Wile E. Coyote, Mr. Whiskers, Brandy, Lolaboa, Gaspar, Ed, Cheryl, Meryl, Maria, David, Sam, Victoria, Suzie, Owen, Geoff, Sam, Max, Caidin and Louis.
• Even though The Looney Tunes Show uses logical extreme animation, unlike the other two CNTwo Shows (The Loud House and Animaniacs), Phineas and Ferb uses regular extreme animation. However, two regular extreme animation shows Wayside and Uncle Grandpa have the colors from the animation enhanced. However, for both of the regular extreme animation that have the colors from the animation enhanced, DJJumpsta77 got Mr. Whiskers accused.

Goofs:

• Strangely enough, the The End version of the Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount Global byline version appeared at the end of the August 7, 2022 Cartoonito airing of Shrek 2, plastering the closing variant of the previous logo, similar to the following below:
• The domestic 90th anniversary version sloppy plasters the 2009 20th Century Fox logo on BBC airings of three DreamWorks Animation films that Fox distributed (How to Train Your Dragon 2, Penguins of Madagascar, and Trolls), even though they actually did not distribute them. In a similar case, the The End version of the standard 2018 logo with the TimeWarner byline strangely appears at the end of the VHS, Betamax and Laserdisc versions of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World instead of the current Universal logo even though Universal never used a closing variant, which was originally in front.
• In the case of the former three and the second latter, it's possible that BBC wanted consistency with the previous Paramount-distributed entries.
• In another similar case, Jessica Coleman on-purposely claimed that this logo was seen on the UK trailer of Trolls World Tour due to being the first film released during the COVID-19 pandemic, because of having the videotaped version of the 2020 Paramount Home Entertainment logo. In an even worse case, the 1941 Paramount Home Video logo appeared on the trailer of Madagascar to be distributed by Paramount before they started distributing their films when Caidin Johnson saw The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie at the movie theater.
• This logo and the Columbia Pictures logo can be also be seen at the end of modern prints of Universal Pictures films, such as a Paramount+ print of Woody Woodpecker, a PBS Kids airing of An American Tail and The Secret Life of Pets 2.
• The Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount Global byline in the AT&T Aleck Sans font appeared on the HBO Max print of the HBO Max original movie Father of the Bride, while the official Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount Global byline appeared on Canadian and Italian prints of Elvis, before making it's actual debut in 2023.

Bylines:

• December 16, 2011-November 10, 2017: "A VIaCOM COMPANY" set in the 2006 Viacom font.
• April 26, 2013, July 17, 2013, June 3, 2016, July 28, 2017-June 15, 2018, March 3, 2022-June 16, 2023: Bylineless
• August 3, 2018-November 26, 2020, March 18, 2022: "A WARNERMEDIA Company", with "WARNERMEDIA" in its own logo font, called AT&T Aleck Sans Bold, while the rest of the byline is in the standard variation of the same font. The shadow behind "MEDIA" is not there.
• September 28, 2018-May 15, 2020: A ParaMedia Company
• June 7, 2019-October 14, 2021: A Disney Company
• October 29, 2019-April 28, 2022: "A ViacomCBS Company" set in Gotham Bold.
• Mid-2021-March 2022: "A ViacomCBS Company" set in ViacomCBS Raisonné.
• January 13, 2023-: A Deluxe Video Laboratories Company

Variants:

• December 16, 2011-December 21, 2012: For the logo's debut and its first official year, a bright light shines to reveal the text"100 Years" with "100" bigger and "Years" smaller, before a smaller Viacom byline fades in underneath.
• A version of this logo was confirmed where the camera angle is slightly different, the mountain has slightly less light reflection, the stars have a lighter color, the "Paramount script" is darker, and some of the clouds above the mountain are not visible. This can be seen on movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Baywatch, Mission: Impossible - Fallout and The Lost City, and home video releases of Love and Monsters.
• A version of the aforementioned variant exists for the 100 Years version of this logo, where the Viacom byline is shifted upwards. This can be seen on Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away, Katy Perry: Part of Me, and the 2012 reissues of Titanic (North America only, the 2012 international reissue has the 2009 Fox logo with the 1994 fanfare) and Top Gun. It also appears at the end of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and Rise of the Guardians, the last two DreamWorks Animation films to be distributed by Paramount.
• A version of the aforementioned variant was confirmed for the 90th Anniversary version of this logo, where the logo takes place at the swimming pool instead of the school set and the blue balloons are in a lighter shade of blue, (meaning that this logo was possibly animated for post-2009 animated Disney films. However, on the 2018 D-VHS releases of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Circle Time Squabble and Teen Titans Go to the Movies, the first two home video releases to use this logo, the blue balloons are still in a darker shade of blue), the stars on the mountain are a darker shade of blue, The ball is weaker, and some of balloons in the final shot look taller, he has a carrot, he wears gold gloves, the logo's rainbow background has been replaced with a white background, the logo is sped up, there is a goof during the portion where the logo fades out, in which the 2011 logo is shown over the end of this logo, and another where a boom mic is seen in the open matte version when the Paramount script fades in, and the WarnerMedia byline and ® symbol fade in separately. This can be seen on Paramount films released in 2018 before Caidin's Birthday (such as Hotel Transylvania: The Series: Adventures in Vampiresitting, Draco and the Ball, and Pat the Dog: Over-Inflated). It also appears at the beginning of Krusty Kleaners and select prints of The Night Patty, the two most overrated Season 11 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. A second prototype version, used from Late-Mid September to Early-Early October of 2018, the colors were enhanced, the ball is stronger, the logo is slowed down, Bugs Bunny wears an orange shirt (even though Bugs Bunny only wore his orange shirt in the logo on the 2018 VHS of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pony Trick or Treat), the blue balloons are in a darker shade of blue, the ® symbol fades in with the Paramount script and some of the balloons in the final shot have shorter strings, which debuted on Adventure Time: Horse and Ball, even though it was seen earlier on the Paramount Video System Beta 2 startup screen on September 11, 2018. Jeff left the band to make the logo look more natural starting with The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (the only film that didn't use the revised variant was Indiana Jones and Mr. Whiskers, which used the 8th logo). The version used on that film would later become the regular logo without the 90th Anniversary tag, which plastered the prototypes on digital prints of the first six Warner-Bros-based films to use this logo and Mission Impossible: Fallout.
• Sometimes, the second prototype 90th Anniversary variant begins in black and white on color films.
• A still version of the second prototype 90th Anniversary logo (with the ParaMedia byline), appeared on the video game version of Incredibles 2. It also appears on the cover of the 2021 compilation album Animaniacs: Season 1 (Soundtrack from the Animated Series).
• However, it also appears on The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (released on June 11, 2024), likely due to the film being completed in 2018, but released in 2024.
• There are videotaped, LP Mode and EP Mode versions of this logo, which are seen on Paramount Home Video releases and also plasters older logos on VHS releases of various 90s-2010s Paramount films. It was used as a de-facto home video logo and more information can be seen on the RVSA Cell Phone Policy Trailers page.
• July 9-December 21, 2018: For the WarnerMedia byline versions first year, a 90th Anniversary text is seen below the TimeWarner/WarnerMedia byline and Mr. Whiskers wears red gloves.
• Just like the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment's logos, an abridged version is featured at the beginning of shows, such as Pinkfong and SpongeBob SquarePants.
• An open-matte videotaped version has a rainbow background and a blue mountain with the scratches in red, orange, purple, yellow and green, which cuts to the Feature Presentation ID on some home video releases. This was seen on fullscreen releases by Famous Studios, later 2012 reissues of Wings, The Secret Life of Pets 2, an PBS Kids airing of An American Tail, and the Australian trailer for Jackass Forever.
• From Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and ending with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, an in-credit version was used, which consists of the 2018 Paramount Family Entertainment print logo, which is a cut-out piece of paper with the corporate version of the 2002 logo.
• Starting with The Flash, another in-credit version was used, which consists of the 2023 Paramount Family Entertainment print logo.
• A corporate version exists, which has an inverted rainbow background (with blue on the top and green on the bottom) instead of the actual rainbow background from the original versions (with red on the top and purple on the bottom.)
• 16:9 releases have the background in black.
• On Daddy's Home 2 (the last regular appearance of this logo until A Quiet Place), the byline fades in earlier than usual when the "Paramount" script zooms back. This can also be seen on trailers and TV spots for some Paramount films until 2021. More information about this variant can be seen on the Paramount Home Entertainment page.
• On Pain and Gain and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of Shadows, the logo is bylineless. This variant became the standard version as a replacement for the Paramount Global byline version following the corporate rename to Paramount Global starting with The Batman. This includes the modified lyrics "To play Blue's Clues, we gotta find three pawprints", instead of individual lines discussing each pawprint. This is probably an attempt to save time, due to the new The Blue's Clues Company segments. Plus, the original theme was temporally changed to a different theme composed by Pinar Toprak (syncing with the logo's animation).
• An open-matte version of this logo exists. This was spotted on later 2012 reissues of Wings, The Secret Life of Pets 2 and the Australian trailer for Jackass Forever.
• A version with a French byline, reading "UNE SOCIÉTÉ VIaCOM", also exists. This was only used as a corporate variant.
• On Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass, and Weapons, both released in August 2025, the byline at the top of the screen "CAIDIN JOHNSON PRESENTS" was replaced with "MR. PANTHER PRESENTS" because Caidin Johnson was unavailable at the time due to problems with the studio's bankruptcy that led to Paramount Television Studios being shut down on August 19, 2024, and Louis Stadlen was unavailable at the time due to problems with replacing Jessica Coleman in 2021 due to the studio's financial issues in the past four years.
• Sometimes, the sun appears first, and then its glow and the rest of the footage of the studio lot fades in.
• On films shot in scope (16:9), the shield and byline are smaller.
• On films from Warner Animation Group, the shield flips around to show the new WAG logo. This was first seen on Tom and Jerry (2021, albeit using a variant of the clouds). The normal version (with the standard clouds) debuted on Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021).
• On films from New Line Cinema, the shield breaks up to form the NLC logo. This was first seen on Mortal Kombat (2021, albeit using a variant), and the standard version debuted on Those Who Wish Me Dead.
• On The Little Things, the logo's duration is slightly shorter and starts fading out when the WarnerMedia byline fades in.
• A version exists where the logo doesn't fade in or fade out. This can be seen on Devastudios' website.
• A "behind-the-scenes" version of this logo exists, showcasing the different production stages of the backlot, water tower, clouds, and the WB shield. It can be seen here.
• Sometimes on the closing variant, the logo is entirely still. This can be seen at the end of YouTube prints of Thir13en Ghosts, plastering the 12th logo.
• The logo was reanimated to look more natural starting with Reminiscence.
• On The Avengers, Iron Man 3 (studio credits only, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures), Without Remorse, The Tomorrow War, short films, and trailers and TV spots for many Paramount films, the logo is cut down to its last few seconds.
• On movies such as Transformers: Age of Extinction and French Canadian trailers of Forrest Gump, the logo is slightly enhanced. Noticable changes include a more bluish sky and brighter clouds.
• A black-and-white version of this logo exists. This can be seen on newer prints of older films now owned by Paramount.
• On YouTube advertisements from the side of a video (done after a video ad), the logo appears without a byline and has a dark blue and black gradient on the sides.
• On the Disney byline variant, the logo's color scheme is different and Mr. Whiskers is in a darker shade of light blue.
• On Without Remorse, Jessica was replaced with Louis, and Yakko was temporarily removed from the logo, leaving only 22 stars.
• On the ViacomCBS byline variants, the trademark symbol ("™") is used in place of the registered trademark symbol ("®").
• On Road to the Lost City, Five of the stars, Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire, were removed, due to Teen Titans Go having low extreme animation for this wiki's home page getting vandalized when it was first moved to Miraheze in May 2020, with temporarily 19 stars only on the logo.
• Starting with digital prints of Road to the Lost City, the registered trademark symbol ("Ⓡ") is removed, Yakko was put back on the logo and Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire were put back on the logo as Maria, Victoria, Sam, David and Suzie.
• A still open matte version of the 100 Years variant was spotted when the Paramount Movies app on Xbox 360 is launched in both fullscreen and widescreen.
• Sepia and blue toned versions of the Family Entertainment variants exist on most 2019-2021 prints of some Paramount films due to the 2021 vault fire.
• On the 2021 rerelease of The Core and the end of Wonder Woman 1984, the shield is in a darker shade of blue.
  

Closing Variants: 

• May 19, 2006-July 9, 2018: When distributing films from another company, the words "DISTRIBUTED BY", in white, are seen above the logo with the Viacom byline and the line. Usually seen at the end of DreamWorks and DreamWorks Animation films beginning in late 2006. Also oddly appeared at the end of Iron Man, before the Marvel Studios logo.
• July 9, 2018-: At the end of the movie, we see "The End", in script, overlapping the company name. On many movies, "The End" fades out, leaving only the logo and "A Paramount Picture".

FX/SFX:

• December 16, 2011-July 27, 2018, January 10, 2020-March 25, 2022: Beautifully crafted CGI that combines elements from the last two logos, which still holds up well nearly 10 years later. Designed by Devastudios and animated using Terragen from Planetside Software.
• July 9, 2018-: Same as the 9th logo.
• December 20, 2019-June 18, 2021: Same as the 8th logo.

Music/Sounds:

• December 16, 2011-January 30, 2015: A light bell and string piece which rises in intensity to become more majestic and orchestral, with the final note also using a brief choir, scored by Michael Giacchino (composer of Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the first film to use this logo). Sometimes there is no music, the opening theme of the movie, or a different fanfare.
• February 6, 2015-March 30, 2016: The previous two logos' fanfare (last heard on Mean Girls).
• July 22, 2016-August 28, 2020: The Windows Vista/7/8/10 startup sound.
• December 20, 2019-June 18, 2021: A 30 second theme composed by Teddy Castellucci.
• November 19, 2021-: A re-orchestrated version of the Warner Bros. Pictures logo's theme, now played in a different key (this time in E♭ major). It has a more powerful build-up and the opening notes are now played on a guitar and flute as opposed to a piano. This was composed by Ludwig Göransson. It is unknown what samples are used (probably Spitfire Audio or Cinesamples).

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the first film to use this logo, there is an alternate version of the fanfare with some slight changes, in the note of the orchestration, making it sound more powerful. An unused alternate version is heard on the aforementioned film's OST that features a very different, more sweeping, and even more powerful orchestration.
• Some films, most notably the first few films to use this logo, have either the opening theme of the movie or silence.
• An upload of the logo on Billy Mallery's Vimeo page has an alternate fanfare which is based on the "As Time Goes By" theme, composed by Mallery himself. It wasn't used on any films as this was a "runner up" score.
• On the intro video for Paramount Studio Tour Hollywood, the 1998 arrangement of the fanfare is used, transitioning from "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca, as soon as Harvey Atkin (Sam from Sam & Max) sings the phrase "The fundamental things apply...".
• On the Warner Bros.-based version, the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare is heard
• On The Happy Tree Friends Carnival Looney Tunes marathon on Cartoon Network before Devil May Hare, the 1993 Warner Bros. Family Entertainment fanfare is heard over this logo and plasters the 1993 Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo.
• On Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, Zoolander 2, Baywatch, and the 2018 VHS of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pony Trick or Treat, whooshes are added to the logo over either the fanfare or the opening theme of the movie when the stars and the text fly by.
• None for the closing variant. Sometimes the closing theme of the movie would be used instead.
• At the end of a Starz print of Hero and the Terror, a Cannon film, the Viacom "V of Steel" jingle plays over the end variant of this logo due to a plastering error.
• On The Witches, a different fanfare, composed by Joseph Philips, plays during the logo.
• A strange reverse plaster of the Bugs Bunny variant of the Family Entertainment logo with the MGM/UA Home Video logo's audio was found on a Portuguese dub of Exterminator 2. This could've been because of using a 1980's VHS audio track.

Availability: Very common. Seen on all Paramount movies since Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

• The 100 Years version debuted on the aforementioned film and made its last appearance on Jack Reacher, released on December 21, 2012. The 90th Anniversary version debuted on the Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood episode Circle Time Squabble, released on July 9, 2018 and last appeared on Bumblebee, released on December 21, 2018. The version without the "100 Years" text first appeared on Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, released on January 25, 2013.
• Also seen as a de-facto home entertainment logo on Paramount's 4K UHD Blu-ray releases starting in 2016 with Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, and on regular Blu-rays and DVDs starting in 2018 with Teen Titans Go! To the Movies
• However, despite the print logo appearing on covers of DVDs and Blu-Rays from CBS, Warner Bros. Animation, Showtime and Paramount Media Networks, this logo does not appear on screen.
• It also appears on the first three films from Paramount Animation (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Monster Trucks, and Wonder Park) before the division got their own logo in 2021. This still appears as a closing logo, although this could change in the future.
• Don't expect this logo to appear on The Boss Baby, as that film used the 3rd and 11th logos instead.
• The Viacom byline made its final appearance on Daddy’s Home 2, a film which was completed in October 2016, but held back to November 10, 2017 and the WarnerMedia byline version made its first known unofficial appearances on the 2018 VHS releases of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: Circle Time Squabble, Teen Titans Go to the Movies and Mission: Impossible - Fallout, which were all released on July 9, 2018, but it's confirmed to be debuted on an earlier WWIII Paramount cartoon, possibly Summer Camp Island: The First Day, but it's possible that it debuted on a different episode of that show (including one that was not aired on the 7th, and made its final appearance on The Nan Movie, a film which was completed in February 2019, but held back to March 18, 2022. the ViacomCBS byline version first debuted in 2019 on a trailer of Tom & Jerry and made its theatrical debut a month later on Togo. Meanwhile, the ViacomCBS byline made its final theatrical appearance on Moonshot, even though the byline was later shown in R.I.P. Jack Whiskers and the bylineless version debuted on An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power and last appeared at the end of Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.
• Although the ViacomCBS byline in the ViacomCBS Raisonné typeface debuted on the UK trailer for Clifford the Big Red Dog and trailers for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, it was never used on an actual film. The Gotham typeface was used on films until the corporate renaming to Warner Bros. Discovery in October 2022, when the byline was dropped.
• The ParaMedia byline version only appeared on two Nickelodeon Movies films (Smallfoot and Scoob!). The former has this version replaced with the domestic 90th Anniversary version of the WarnerMedia version on domestic prints, while the latter has this logo as an in-credit logo.
• This also appears at the end of most (if not all) international prints of recent Brad Krevoy Television TV movies, such as the Crossword Mysteries series, the Wedding March movies, A Valentine's Match, and Christmas Encore, among others.
• It's also seen at the end of some TV shows distributed by Paramount Worldwide Television Licensing & Distribution (the distribution unit of Paramount Television), such as Spin City on Pluto TV and Viaplay.
• This is also seen on post-2012 and 3D US prints of Titanic, plastering the 8th logo.
• The "DISTRIBUTED BY" closing variant appeared at the end of the DreamWorks Animation films Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and Rise of the Guardians (the unofficial last DreamWorks film to be distributed by Paramount). Plastered by either the final 20th Century Fox or the current Universal Pictures logo on recent prints.
• It also made an appearance at the end of Paramount Players' Body Cam, and more recently on international prints of High Flying Romance, a Johnson Production Group TV movie.
• Despite The Avengers and Iron Man 3 both being distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (which was credited at the end of both films), the latter film has the Paramount logo at the beginning and end, while the former has this logo only at the beginning.
• The ViacomCBS variant has been spotted on a TCM airing of a newer print of The Senator Was Indiscreet, as well as newer prints of My Fair Lady, Adam at 6 A.M., The Big Operator, and the 30th anniversary edition of The Godfather Part III, where it plastered the 1990 Paramount logo.
• It was also seen on the first six 20th Century Studios films before the logo for the company was animated.
• The first two films to use the bylineless variant were Pain and Gain and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (although as a variant), and the first film again was An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, released on July 28, 2017 and the last film to use the bylineless version until 2022 was The Incredibles 2. The bylineless variant also reappeared on the Animaniacs Season 2 demo reel and The Lost City, released on March 25, 2022.
• Surprisingly, this logo appears on Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021), The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, and Cheaper by the Dozen (2022) instead of the 20th Century Studios logo. This is most likely due to all three movies moving from 20th Century Studios to Walt Disney Pictures during production. However, none of the studios are explicitly mentioned in their and credits. Coincidentally, all three of them were Disney+ releases so this is also a possible reason. A similar case with Deep Waterfrom TCS has no TCS logo at all, and just cuts to the film's opening.
• The 2020 logo made its last theatrical appearance on A Cinderella Story: Starstruck but it reappeared on the Mr. Whiskers episode R.I.P. Jack Whiskers, a film which was completed in September 2019, but held back to June 2023 due to the Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks episode Pack Animal not being copyrighted until February 3, 2023, which was shown on a Mr. Whiskers inflatable popping episode that month.

Legacy: This is widely considered a true masterpiece of a logo, with its powerful, majestic theme, perfect CGI, and the sheer power it radiates.

  Prototype version of the post-Disney100 variant with production information, from the 2023 Clio Entertainment Awards website.

 

 

 

Visuals: It starts off with an enhanced version of the night sky from the previous logo, which turns out to be reflected in a river as the largest star jumps out of the river, causing the scene to ripple around it (a la the 2011-2018 Paramount Pictures logo). Instead of panning down, the camera pans up and zooms past an updated version of the river and buildings as the train passes by on a bridge, now with a waterfall, trees and other elements, as we follow the star around the landscape. Once the camera gets to the waterfall, we pan up to reveal a metallic Cinderella Castle from the back before the star flies across it and fills it with color. The camera rotates to the left and then works its way to the front of the castle (similar to the 20th Century Studios logos since 1994) while multiple colored fireworks are seen going off from all directions. The camera then reaches its standard position, revealing a new sunset background and a new river, and the arc (now wider, brighter, and colored in blue) draws from the left of the castle rather than from the right, with a star twinkling when it reaches its highest point as the coloring of the castle is finished. As the camera slowly zooms out, the "DiSNEY" script writes in (which is once again in the 1985 font) along with a "100" (with the two zeroes resembling an infinity symbol) in a similar fashion next to it as the camera comes to a stop before the logo fades out.

Alternate Descriptive Video Description:

• A brightly shining star moves revealing itself to be a glowing point of light that sends out ripples on a river's calm reflective surface. The light flies over a bridge as a train passes, then zips past tall evergreen trees toward a large waterfall. It flies up the falls lighting up the cascading water as it goes. At the top, fireworks explode in the shape of Mickey Mouse over a magnificent fairytale castle. As the light shoots past, its glimmering tail spreads over the castle's facade. The light arcs over the castle terrace leaving a trail of glitter. Disney100, 100 Years of Wonder.

Trivia:

• This logo was revealed at the Disney Studios & Animation and Pixar panel at the 2022 D23 Expo on September 9, 2022.
• According to an official D23 article,[2] the flying star that jumps out of the river is meant to represent Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.
• The pan up/zoom shot to a castle through a forest/waterfall background is a homage to Beauty and the Beast, which opened with a similar shot. The castle being filled with color homages a scene in the film where the enchantment is broken and light and color spreads across the castle. The castle, however, was shown in the reflection in that scene.
• Like the previous logo, the train seen halfway through the logo is Casey Jr. from Dumbo, reusing the design from the 2019 live-action remake of said film.
• There is only one star left in the logo, Wakko, since he is the only one that blows up or pops inflatables, the host of Deluxe Films, the first Beach Ball Gang member, the only Beach Ball Gang member that lost weight, asked Skippy to move to Mindy's house after Skippy Squirrel killed Mr. Whiskers, Wakko, Robin, Max, Woody Woodpecker, Sharko, Lincoln Loud, Candace, Garfield and Scaredy Squirrel due to Wakko killing him,
• At the end of the logo, Matterhorn Mountain from Third Man on the Mountain (and the Disneyland attraction Matterhorn Bobsleds) and Pride Rock from The Lion Kingcan be seen on opposite sides of the castle. One can also see the lanterns from Tangled in the river, and the Will O' the Wisps from Brave on the grass.
• Three Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks are shown when the castle appears. Two more of those are also shown as the camera pans across the castle. This references the hidden Mickeys.
  • Overall, there are seven Mr. Whiskers, Popeye and Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks in total.
• The castle's color that starts off platinum references the company's 100th anniversary in 2023, as platinum is a recurring color across the company's anniversary branding.
• The arc, which traditionally appears from right to left, appears from left to right in this logo, possibly in homage to the 2005 Hong Kong Disneyland logo, the 2006 print logo and the animated logo of Disney+. The arc, as well as the star's trail, is also in blue, the main color of Disney+.
• The night sky that was shown on the logo (albeit with the largest star only being shown on the middle top of the cover art) was used as the cover art of Sara Bareille's cover of "When You Wish Upon A Star" on digital music streaming services.
• The logo has been shortlisted at the 2023 Clio Entertainment Awards.
• According to the 2023 Clio Entertainment Awards website image variant's visible production data, the logo was completed on August 19, 2022 and its internal file name is D100SS_0010. This was considered to be a prototype version of the post-Disney100 variant.

Variants:

• During the logo's early run, "100 YEARS OF WONDER", set in the company's own font, InspireTWDC, fades in below the text once it finishes forming.
  • For the logo's reveal at the 2022 D23 Expo, it cuts to black at the end, while on Day 1 of D23 Expo Daily on Disney+ (hosted by Ashley Eckstein and Jordan Fisher), it transitions to the site of the expo at the end. It is also shown during the end of the Disney100 promo video, which was first shown in the 2022 D23 Expo, on the 2022 edition of The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on ABC (hosted by Derek and Julienne Hough), where it starts from the text forming, following the various variations of the previous logo in that video, then cuts to a scene from Steamboat Willie. It also has the archival audio of Walt Disney saying "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a mouse.", which is also used in that video.
• A short variant exists where it starts on the arc drawing and the star twinkling when the arc reaches the highest spire, albeit with the castle already colored and the text already formed. This can be seen on trailers and as a closing logo, as well as on short films beginning with Carl's Date. It also appeared at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (international releases have the "100 YEARS OF WONDER" tagline).
  • It is also found during the end of Disney100: Remember That on Disney Channel, following the various variations of the previous logo.
• At the end of the Disney100 special look video, which has been uploaded on Disney's social pages before being aired during Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 during the 4th quarter, the logo, which fades from the camera moving to its position, fades out besides the arc after that is drawn with the words "YOU MADE THIS DREAM COME TRUE" and the copyright "© 2023 DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC." fading in.
  • The copyright stamp was moved to the actual logo at the end of the Disney100 "Tradition" special look video on April 3rd of that same year, then the tail end of the text forming in the Disney100 "4th of July" special look video, in the same vein of the first Disney100 special look video, on July 4th of the same year, then later re-used, this time, showing the words "HERE'S TO THE NEXT 100 YEARS" as the camera is moving to its position, transitioning to the end of the text forming in the Disney100 "Lifetime" special look video on October 16th of that same year.
  • Furthermore, the official site featured the finished logo. Alongside the video's release, the Disney profile picture and banner on the company's social pages were updated with the profile pic showing the Disney logo in silver on the finished logo's sky background and the profile banner showing the logo with the arc drawn and the Disney100 logo (which is different than the one shown on-screen and without the text below it) being moved up to fit with the banner's height. On the homepage of Disney's website, the arc and flags animates at 60fps and animates differently from its usual logo.
• In the LEGO Disney100 collection teaser, a Minifig version of Tinker Bell appeared as the logo (in its scope format), starting from the camera moving to its position, fades in. She flies away then follows the arc before tapping her wand before the text is being drawn, as grey bricks appear, as the screen fades to white and transitions to a scene from Steamboat Willie.
• A 30fps version exists on Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl, also, starting with the aforementioned film, and all films following it (except for Carl's Date, Elemental, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion, and Once Upon a Studio), the coloring is enhanced and updated, likely to accommodate for 4K UHD screens.
• An extended version (which starts from when the star is about to jump out of the water's reflection after transitioning from scenes from films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, as Walt Disney's quote, "IT'S KIND OF FUN TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.", zooms in as the star jumps out of the water's reflection, with the finished logo stays on-screen for a few seconds; in which it was paused to avoid the logo fading out) is known to exist on Disney100: The Concert during the end of the opening score. On Walt Disney Animation Studios: The Concert, the logo is shown in 16:9, except it fades out at the end.
• This was also used in the intro for The Wonderful World of Disney since September 29, 2022, albeit without the text forming. This version of the intro was based on the 2020 version of the intro, in which it starts as the castle is reaching its position, albeit being shown before the archival audio of Walt Disney saying "...here we go.". Similar to the previous versions, the castle was shown at the end of the intro. As the castle reaching its position, the Wonderful World of Disney logo along with the "Presented by Disney+" tagline (with the animated Disney+ logo being shown as the arc is being drawn), was fading in. After that, it transitions to the print Disney100 logo. The intro was updated in December 11, 2022 as the print Disney100 logo was removed, as the "Presented by Disney+" tagline will remain shown for the rest of the intro. This was most likely due to the addition of films from 20th Century Studios, as in which a scene from the featured movie was shown. It would be later be updated in June 2, 2023 with the removal of the "Presented by Disney+" tagline. Another updated version was debuted in October 1, 2023 added the print Disney100 back to the intro, now smaller in size and this time being shown as the camera moves to its usual position. This is most likely to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary in that said month. Just like the 2015 and 2020 versions of the intro, the music is "Heaven's Triumph", composed by Q-Factory's Robert Etoll.
• A frame of the finished logo (without the text) is shown in a door-shaped mirror in the Disney100 teaser site in all supported regions and languages besides Japan (until February 12, 2023; February 13 for the rest of the world), albeit with the US English version of the site as one of the rotating images until around the end of December 2022.
• On the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developer's Conference) 2023 event, we see the arc forming after a few seconds, in the same vein as the short version, without the castle reflecting the arc's light, in which it animates smoothly at 30fps. Then, it moves around for a bit as the text fades out, as we follow it while the camera zooms into the castle gate, transitioning to the reveal of Disney+ on Apple Vision Pro. The finished logo, with the river flowing, was also shown on the screen behind Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, which also animates at 30fps, and is zoomed in to the bottom right when the camera focuses on Iger.
• On Disney's TikTok page, as shown here, a snippet of the logo was posted on October 16, 2023, allowing other TikTok users to "Duet" on sharing their favorite Disney memory.
• On an image later added to the logo's shortlisted entry for the 2023 Clio Entertainment Awards (formerly, there was no image and just the below mentioned video) "Disney" is by itself without "100" and is appropriately centered. Production data is still visible to the top and bottom. This was considered to be a prototype version of the post-Disney100 variant.

Closing Variant: Either the full animation (on animated films) or the short version as described above.

Technique: CGI by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in collaboration with Disney Studios Content (now part of the Walt Disney Studios since November 2022).

Audio: A longer, more majestic and powerful arrangement of the "When You Wish Upon a Star" theme from the previous logo, this time composed by Christophe Beck and orchestrated by Tim Davies, recorded at the Fox Studio Lot. We also hear the sounds of a whistling train as the train passes by, as well as the sounds of the waterfall rushing as we get close to it, and the choir vocalizing towards the end (albeit more audible). Also, the firework sounds are different and louder, syncing to the notes.

Audio Variants:

• In some cases, the closing theme of the film is heard or none at all.
• Sometimes on the closing variant, we hear the sound of fairy dust.
• On short films, the first few seconds of the theme with the fairy dust sound are heard. The theme trails to the Pixar logo on Carl's Date.
• On Walt Disney Animation Studios: The Concert, only the sound effects are heard over the last few seconds of the score.
• On the website for the 2023 Clio Entertainment Awards, a completely different arrangement of "When You Wish Upon A Star" is used, starting with an extended version of the 2006 logo's opening piano notes (originally composed by Mark Mancina) until a powerful version of the familiar theme comes in with the reveal of the castle. The train whistle is also much louder.
• On Disney's TikTok page, some sound effects on the snippet are quieter or omitted.

Availability: Seen on most Disney films since Strange World (trailers and TV spots for the film use the previous logo), released on November 23, 2022.

• It then appeared at the beginning of the concert special Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl and later on Chang Can Dunk (the first two Disney+ originals to use the logo) and on all films following it. However, the closing version is not shown at the end on the former title.
• This logo has also appeared in Castilian Spanish, French and German films on concert programs since April 2023.

Legacy: Many consider this logo a love letter to Disney's filmography, and an appropriate successor to the previous logo.

Unused Logos

100th Anniversary (2010)

This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety.

• 
 
• 

Visuals: There is a close-up of the familiar Paramountain's left side. The camera zooms out to its familiar distance. The whole logo is set at daytime. As this occurs, the "Paramount" script, now silver zooms out to take its place on the mountain, which is situated on a cloudy morning. along with text saying "100TH ANNIVERSARY" moving below it. 22 silver stars shoot past the script and encircle the mountain behind it.

Technique: CGI animation by Matt Hartle.

Availability: The only known appearance of this logo is an image found on Matt Hartle's website but the video footage is currently unknown at this time.

Multicolor Rabbits (2022)

Visuals: We see a group of three rabbits named Yin, Yang and Billy (formerly Bugs Bunny and Mr. Whiskers) redesigned in the style of Woody Woodpecker. Underneath the rabbits, "A Paramount Picture" or "A Paramount Release" fades in below, along with "110th Anniversary" in the same font.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The Windows Vista/7/8/10 startup sound.

Availability: This logo and Billy were originally going to be shown on Animaniacs 2 and Paramount films starting with The Batman, but because Animaniacs 2 was replaced with Brandy, Mr. Whiskers, Muffy, Rob and Mr. Whackadoo before March 3, 2022, Mr. Whiskers will not be replaced with Billy until 2028, and the Yin Yang Yo! characters and Billy were revealed in their original Yin Yang Yo! designs instead of the Woody Woodpecker designs on October 16, 2023.

110th Anniversary (2022)

Visuals: Same as the 2023 version of the 10th logo, but with the 110th Anniversary disclaimer.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The Windows 11 startup sound.

Availability: This logo was originally planned to make it's debut appearance on The Batman, but because this logo was never planned by Paramount Family Entertainment until May 26, 2022, this logo was supposed to debut on Babylon, but Paramount's 110th Anniversary logo was never used on any films at all because that film using the The End version of the 1927 logo at the end instead of the 110th Anniversary logo. However, this logo was still seen at the beginning of the YouTube Poop collab The Paramount Family Entertainment 110th Anniversary YouTube Poop Collab 4.
