Logos[]

1st logo: Against a black background, there is a mountain above a few clouds where the mountain is surrounded by stars. There is text over the mountain reading:

Paramount

Pictures

Variant[]

Depending of the film, the used colors are different.

2nd logo: There are 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 this, there is the title of the film and a little more info. Somewhere on the screen, there is the snow capped mountain poking out of a cloud at the bottom. The mountain is surrounded by a ring of stars. They show the text overlapping the mountain reading:

A

Paramount

Picture

At the bottom of the screen is a box. On either side of the box, there are two Paramount pseudo-logos. Each has a ring of stars inside a ring. On the pseudo-logo on the right, there are the words "Paramount Pictures". On the pseudo-logo on the left, there is some writing. At the top of the box, there the "COPYRIGHT [YEAR]". Inside the box, there are the words "FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION" in a large font. Below this, in a slightly smaller font, there is the words "ADOLPH ZUKOR, PRESIDENT". Below Zukor's name, there are the words "NEW YORK CITY". Below the box, there are, in a large font, "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED".

Variants[]

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 movie's credits overlap the logo. It can be seen on movies like Love 'Em or Leave 'Em (1926).

Closing Title[]

There are the words "THE END" on the screen. At the top of the screen is the title of the movie. Below "THE END", is the opening logo.

Closing Variants[]

On some films like the above described, the "A Paramount Picture" logo appears after the movie ends. After a few seconds, the "THE END" overlaps the logo and fades out. 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.

3rd logo: There is a snow-capped mountain against a dark sky. There are clouds that look like smoke over the mountain; sometimes foggy, though. Encircling the mountain are 24 white stars, accompanied by this text in a majestic script font overlapping the mountain, reading:

A

Paramount

Picture

At the end of the movie, there is "The End", in script, overlapping the company name. On many movies, "The End" fades out, leaving only the logo and "A Paramount Picture".

Variants[]

  • Though the same general design of the logo has remained the same, there have been subtle changes to it over the years, such as having brighter stars on some films or a slightly different design. Sometimes, "A" and "Picture" fade out a little bit and "PRESENTS" fades in below "Paramount".
  • There are also sepia variants.
  • On the infamous Koch Media widescreen DVD and Blu-ray of the animated 1939 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, the logo is colored in blue/purple tones. In later, the logo is more colorized.
  • Sometimes, ''Pictures'' is replaced by ''Release''

4th logo

  • 1934-1936 Variant: There is a mountain shooting above a cloud deck below. A ring of 19 or 24 stars, similar to the one seen on the Paramount blue mountain logo are seen. In an unusual font, there are the words "A Paramount Picture".
  • 1936-1949 Variant: There is a brown mountain with a brownish sky. This logo is similar to the Paramount movie logo, except the word "Paramount" is slightly below the top of the mountain. This logo contained 30 stars.

Opening Variants[]

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

5th logo: The same as the 2nd logo, only this variation looks more marble and uneven in appearance. The sky background is a bit lighter as well.

Variant[]

On films released prior to the release of the widescreen feature Shane, the logo appears closer up.

6th logo: Originally created for Paramount's 3-D process called "Paravision" and later modified especially for widescreen, this logo appears more realistic and features a canyon scenery with trees around it. The sky is more distant in depth and is very contrast. Everything is pretty much the same as before here.

  • 1953-1968: The text on the mountain reads "A Paramount Picture"or"A Paramount Release" (written in the Paramount corporate font).
  • 1968-1975: "Paramount" (in the same font) is seen on the mountain's peak, with the stars encircling the mountain. The byline "A Gulf+Western Company" appears on the bottom. Sometimes, the font for "Paramount" is different.

Variants[]

  • When this logo--where the text and stars were bigger and the mountain was seen from afar--debuted on Paramount's first 3-D picture Sangaree, the words "A Paramount Picture" faded a few seconds later to the words "in 3 Dimension". At the end of the movie, the "The End" byline appears by itself, right in front of the mountain. It then fades to the company name a few moments later.
  • Sometimes, the font for "Paramount" is different.
  • On films with VistaVision, the stars and text would fade out, and "in" would fade in. Then it fades out and a big "V" zooming in (a la the Viacom "V of Doom" logo) and "VISTA" left of the V and "ISION" right of the "V" appear in a wiping effect. Then, "MOTION PICTURE" appears under "VISTA" and "HIGH-FIDELITY" under "ISION" fade in.
  • On White Christmas, "Paramount (with the "P" written in their corporate font) proudly presents the first picture in" would first appear over the mountain, and then the VistaVision logo appeared, without any "MOTION PICTURE" or "HIGH FIDELITY" texts, then the Paramount logo played as usual (with the final notes of the Paramount on Parade march, followed by a bell sound).
  • The logo has appeared in Spanish ("Paramount Films Presenta"), French ("C'est un film Paramount", or "Distribué par Paramount"), and German ("Ein Paramount Film").
  • Another version exists at the beginning of movie trailers, where we see the 24 stars, and then "COMING FROM Paramount Pictures" (or "COMING FROM Paramount" since 1968) appears one by one in the center, with the Gulf+Western byline appearing below in the latter variation. It was used until around 1977. However, trailers for Harold and Maude had the normal version of this logo instead.
  • There is a variation that in 1974, two of the stars are clipped away. The mountain looks the same as logo 2's version, but the stars are bigger. "A Gulf+" slides in from the left and "+Western Company" from the right in Helvetica Black typeface. The script name also had a few variations of its own. At least three movies, The Great Gatsby, Brother Sun, Sister Moon and Death Wish, featured the then-current TV logo version, and the standard 1974 logo features the print logo variation, which remains from this day forward.
  • A variation that exists has the logo as usual, but this time the mountain is simply a drawing with one color: orange-brown. Seen on War and Peace (1956).
  • Some movies, such as Lady Sings the Blues and the original 1969 version of The Italian Job, had a still version of this logo.
  • Sometimes, the text and stars appear in shadow mode. This can be found on the original 1969 version of True Grit and the 2002 DVD version of Big Jake (a Cinema Center Films production strangely; seen before the logo of the former company).
  • On some movies, like the original 1966 version of Alfie, the clouds move a bit faster than in the normal version.
  • The film Is Paris Burning? (1966) has a different drawing of the mountain in the ending. Also, the stars are kept intact and instead of "A Paramount Picture", there is "THE END", in white, overlapping the mountain.
  • On Barbarella, the Gulf+Western byline is slightly off-center.
  • Sometimes, the 1968-1974 logo may be zoomed in (This variant appears on the 2001 widescreen DVD release of Charlotte's Web, and maybe other films from this period.)

7th logo: There is the same mountain with the canyon-style scenery as the previous logo, only slightly less detailed. 22 white stars fade in, encircling the mountain. The word "Paramount" fades in on the mountain's peak. A byline fades in at the base of the mountain:

A

Gulf+Western

Company The logo fades to a light blue mountain surrounded by a circular navy blue border on a light blue screen. The final product turns out to be Paramount's current print logo from that point onward, but as most print logos, they change over the years, because in the future, the byline for the print vesion of this logo will change twice. This logo is similar to the Paramount Television logo of the period, but has darker colors compared to the TV logo.

Variants[]

  • The distance between the words and the mountain tip sometimes varies.
  • The size and the color tint of the logo may vary.
  • One variation (probably the original) has a smaller blue circle around a smaller mountain, both kind of receded. The text for "Paramount" is smaller than usual and the text for "A Gulf+Western Company" is drastically larger, along with the stars. This rather ugly variation was seen on Hustle, Leadbelly, The Last Tycoon, Lifeguard, and Looking for Mr. Goodbar, among others. A less uglier version with re-sized text (but still keeping the receded circle and mountain) appears on some films. This version also lacks a registered trademark "®" symbol.
  • A variation of this logo was used as a bumper for trailers to upcoming films with the phrase "Coming From" above the logo. However, trailers for Popeye and D.A.R.Y.L. among some other movies had 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.

8th logo: As the logo fades in, there is 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 begins to zoom closer to the mountain, as 22 silver stars (also CGI) come from the bottom left and encircle the mountain, forming the familiar logo. the word "Paramount", in its familiar script logo font and redone in a shiny silver color, fades in on the peak of the mountain, along with the registered trademark "®" symbol. Seconds later, one of the three bylines (as seen below; depending on the year(s) seen below) fades in below the logo (not the international version).

Bylines[]

  • December 12, 1986-August 30, 1989: "A Gulf + Western Company" (it fades in together with the Paramount script logo and looks the same as it did in the previous logo).
  • September 22, 1989-January 13, 1995: "A Paramount Communications Company" with a line above the byline fades in, in white. On the byline's first year, the byline faded in with the Paramount script logo like the Gulf+Western version and was in gold. On video releases from the era with this variant, the color scheme of the logo is more washed-out than normal.
  • February 17, 1995-February 15, 2002, January 28, 2003: "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in the 1990 \/|/\CO/\/\ "Wigga-Wigga" font), with a line above the byline fades in, again, in white.
  • One variant, used on the trailer for Mission: Impossible II and international releases, has no byline whatsoever. (See below.)

Variants[]

  • While there have been some variations of the logo depending on the movie, and of course the three byline variants, there are two main logo variations of this logo:
  • December 12, 1986-December 18, 1987: For this logo's first 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, the "™" symbol was used in place of the standard "®" mark. The first movie to use this logo, The Golden Child, used a more placeholder-like 75th Anniversary logo and a thicker font for the Gulf+Western byline.
  • A telecined version existed, as evidenced by the video-generated fade-ins and fade-outs. It starts with an almost fully static logo (only the clouds move), but a few seconds later, the animation starts normally. Also, the color scheme of the logo is the same as the Paramount Communications variant, despite carrying the Viacom byline. This variant can be seen on 1990-2001 VHS releases, such as Peanuts tapes, the Paramount Family Favorites release of Charlotte's Web and Rugrats:Dr. Tommy Pickles. A filmed version of this variant appeared on Bringing Out the Dead.
  • On Sliver, the logo animates, but is more zoomed in than usual.
  • February 5, 1988-August 30, 1989: The "75th Anniversary" disclaimer is removed, and the Gulf+Western byline is shifted slightly up.
  • June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002: Paramount slightly redid their logo. The same basic concept is here, but is reanimated to look nicer. The stars are thicker (with golden sides), shinier, and have a nice motion blur effect. The star's 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. Also, the "®" symbol now fades in at the same time as the byline. These additions are subtle, but they help prevent a great logo like this from seeming dated. On the 1999 film Runaway Bride, the Viacom byline fades in with the Paramount script logo, just like the Gulf+Western version. This version debuted on South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and made it's final appearance on Crossroads.
  • A rare, entirely CGI version of this logo existed in 1999. The camera rotates about an angle until it shows the logo and the stars. There are also sunflares and flashing effects at the beginning. The sky seems to be more realistic than the normal logo and looks a little similar to the 2002 logo. You see the text reversed at the beginning (along with the stars); it seems like "tnuomaraP" (Paramount). However, this variant lacks the byline. It was seen on a trailer for the Tom Cruise film Mission: Impossible II, and it animates in reverse.
  • There is also a videotaped version of the logo, which is seen on Paramount Home Video releases and also plasters older logos on VHS releases of various '60s-'80s Paramount films. It was used as a de-facto logo and more information can be viewed on the page of Paramount Home Media Distribution.
  • 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, the 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.
  • Sometimes, if you watch very closely, the animated clouds (and consequently, the logo) become still once the Viacom byline appears. This variant usually appears on VHS releases of TV shows and specials, and sometimes may plaster older logos on VHS and DVD. Examples of this are the 1999 and 2004 DVD releases of Star Trek: Generations.
  • On the 2002 DVD of Rugrats: Decade in Diapers, the 1992 VHS of Demonic Toys (before the Full Moon logo), syndicated airings of Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (before the Cannon logo), and many Paramount tapes at the start prior to trailers as well as at the end of every Paramount tape from the era, the logo is still. Sometimes they will use a still version of the Paramount Domestic Television logo of the time.
  • A black-and-white version of the 75th Anniversary logo appears on the 1987 VHS of The Docks of New York.

9th logo: On a starry night background. The camera pans down into a shot above a set of clouds, As it flies backwards slowly, some comet-like objects come flying down. They fly down far enough to reveal themselves as the trademark Paramount stars. The stars zoom past the camera. Then the familiar "Paramount" script zooms out as a total of 22 stars shoot past the script and encircle the mountain behind it. The script then continues to zoom out, taking it's place at the peak of the mountain. The 1990 "/\ VI/\CO/\/\ CO/\/\P/\NY" byline then fades in below the logo.

Variants[]

  • March 1-December 18, 2002: During its first year of use, the words "90TH ANNIVERSARY", in gold with "90" bigger and "TH" smaller and on the top right of "90" and "ANNIVERSARY" below, fade in with the Viacom byline and the line, sandwiched between the peak of the mountain. Again, "™" is used in place of "®" in this variation.
  • On earlier films with the 90th anniversary variant, the sky at the beginning appears to be stretched vertically, the stars seem to jump out of the "Paramount" text's reflection, the stars encircling the mountain are behind the script and the clouds are less realistic-looking. The logo also fades to a much brighter shade of color once the camera pans down from the starry sky.
  • A prototype variant of the 90th Anniversary logo was spotted (and only appeared) on the video game The Sum of All Fears, where the "90TH ANNIVERSARY" text was bigger and shinier.
  • This logo can open in two ways. The logo could fade in already in the clouds (usually used for earlier variants) or they pan down from a black background into the clouds.
  • A still version of the logo was spotted on international prints of Sleuth (released by Sony Pictures Classics in the US).
  • A variant is used at the end of every trailer for Paramount's movies on online movie stores like iTunes and the PlayStation Store. There is a still version of the Paramount logo with the words "Now Available from Paramount". Below it is a copyright stamp. Has also been seen zoomed in (so the copyright and the "now available" text is not seen) and on the trailer for Airplane!, where the logo plasters the 1975 trailer version of the logo (keeping the music). This is also seen on old Dreamworks movie trailers.
  • 2006-October 28, 2011: 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 films beginning in late 2006. It also oddly appears at the end of Iron Man, before the Marvel Studios logo. It also appears at the beginning of international prints of The Spy Next Door.
  • Late 2005-2011: The logo has been enhanced.
  • May 7, 2010-December 21, 2011: The logo was enhanced once more with sleeker stars and shinier text, and the Viacom byline is switched to its 2006 font. However, the words "DISTRIBUTED BY" remain in the 1990 font.
  • On full screen DVDs of Paramount movies shot in 2.39:1 scope, the logo is incredibly zoomed in, since it is in the 4:3 ratio. On matted films, it is either zoomed in halfway, or it is in open matte.

10th logo: On a dark cloudy background, several stars come flying down towards us, a mirrored reference to the previous logo. As the third star flies towards us, they follow the star to reveal that you were looking at the reflection of a lake. They follow the stars as they skim the lake and create long straight ripples. They continue to fly forward as a total of 22 stars line up and encircle the mountain ahead. Then the word "Paramount" zooms back to take its place on the mountain, which is situated on a cloudy sunset landscape. The 2010 Viacom byline fades in below.

Variants[]

  • When the logo debuted and during the logo's first year, 2012, a bright light shines to reveal "100 Years" with "100" bigger and "Years" smaller, before a small Viacom byline fades in underneath.
  • A French version exists.
  • Closing: Just like the last logo, sometimes "DISTRIBUTED BY" appears above the logo. This variant was first seen on Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol and can be seen on some trailers. It was even seen at the end of Star Trek Into Darkness.
  • In one instance, There would be a version of this logo that would be missing one of the stars.

Music/Sounds[]

1st logo: Silent or the film's opening music.

2nd logo: None.

3rd logo: The beginning/end of a movie's theme. Starting with the 1930 feature Paramount on Parade, almost all of the Paramount feature films used the fanfare Paramount on Parade (written by Elsie Janis and Jack King).

4th logo:

  • Popular Science: A variation of the familiar Paramount on Parade march to accompany 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".

5th logo: Usually the opening music/audio of any given film. Sometimes, it is silent, or on a rare occasion it would use the Paramount on Parade theme.

6th logo: Most of the time, it is silent or has the beginning/end music from any given film. For films shown in VistaVision, the logo has a majestic fanfare composed by Nathan Van Cleave, except on those like Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Strategic Air Command, and Vertigo, which used their respective opening themes.

  • The VistaVision fanfare was sometimes rearranged specially for films such as The Desperate Hours (Gail Kubik, Daniele Amfitheatrof), The Tin Star (Elmer Bernstein) and Artists and Models, where it was revised by Walter Scharf and also low-toned.
  • 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, it had a different brass fanfare, composed by Leigh Harline.
  • Some TV movies, such as Seven in Darkness, had an extended version of the 1969 Paramount Television "Closet Killer" theme from the era.
  • On Charlotte's Web, a 13-note orchestra fanfare that utilized part of the opening song "Deep in the Dark" is heard. This is also surprisingly heard on the 2001 DVD release, after you press play from the DVD menu (Also, on this music variant, the music starts before the logo fades in and finishes when the logo fades out).

7th logo: Often had no music, or the film's opening/closing theme. In some cases, a new orchestral fanfare by Jerry Goldsmith, based loosely on Paramount on Parade, was used on the "Coming From" variant of the logo 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.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

  • Older 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 1976-77 Jerry Goldsmith fanfare for Paramount Television.
  • On the 2002 and 2014 Warner Archive DVDs of The Big Bus, it uses the 1987 re-orchestration of the theme. Likely due to a sloppy reverse plastering job when the 1986 logo plastered it on its 1990s VHS release.
  • On the promotional film variant, a male announcer says, "In 1985, Paramount has a whole new attitude."

8th logo: Usually silent or the opening theme of the movie, although a few films such as Fatal Attraction, Crocodile Dundee II, The Accused, Pet Sematary, Black Rain, Wayne's World, the 1995 VHS of The Big Bus, and post-1998 prints of Grease have synthesized chimes seguing into the 1975 fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

  • On Event Horizon, a more "powerful", slower, rearranged version of the 1975 fanfare, composed by Michael Kamen, plays during the logo, with the last note being held out, then seguing into the movie's main titles.
  • On Campus Man, a different fanfare, composed by James Newton Howard, plays during the logo.
  • On Stepping Out, a different fanfare, composed by Peter Matz, plays during the logo.
  • On The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, a different fanfare, composed by Ira Newborn, plays during the logo.
  • On the Nickelodeon movie Harriet the Spy, we can hear (if you listen hard enough) some soft-sounded chimes sampled from Mrs. W's garden.
  • On another Nickelodeon movie, Snow Day, wind from a snowstorm is heard throughout the logo.
  • On European TV airings of Braddock: Missing in Action III, the 2001 MGM lion roar is heard over the Viacom byline version of the logo, resulting in one of the sloppiest plastering jobs to walk the face of the earth! This is likely due to using a Paramount-owned TV print with audio from an MGM-owned master.
  • On a Spanish TV airing of Titanic (1997), the 1994 20th Century Fox fanfare is heard, due to a sloppy plastering job.
  • On the 1998 reissue of Grease (1978), the audio is re-orchestrated to sound more powerful.
  • On a French print of The Next Best Thing, the Lakeshore Entertainment theme is heard over the logo, due to a sloppy editing job where the order of the logos are reversed, but the audio isn't.

9th logo: Despite popularly being said to use the previous logo's fanfare, the only film that used that fanfare was Mean Girls. The majority of the time it's silent or the film's opening theme.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

  • On The Longest Yard, a different fanfare plays. This was composed by Teddy Castellucci.
  • On an AMC airing of Rambo III, this plasters the Carolco logo and keeps the low-pitched version of the theme in one of the worst logo plastering jobs ever!
  • On Twisted, wind is audible in the logo. Skywalker Sound which did the sound for the film, did the same here.
  • On Jackass Number Two, a loud jet sound along with wind where the stars flying down then the whoosh sound where Viacom byline fades in was heard.
  • On Marci X, a rap tune is heard.

10th logo: A light bell and string piece which rises in intensity and becomes more majestic and orchestral, scored by Michael Giacchino. Sometimes it is silent, or on films such as G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Iron Man 3 use their respective opening themes.

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.
  • On Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, Zoolander 2, and Baywatch, the music plays while there are whooshes when the stars and the text fly by.

Scare Factor[]

1st logo: Minimal. The dark atmosphere along with the strange design of the logo may unnerve some people, but it’s mostly harmless.

2nd logo: Minimal, as the design of the mountains might get to a few. Also might unnerve people who don't like older logos. Other than that, it's harmless.

3rd logo: Low to medium, the mountain drawing may scare a few, as its more detailed appearance gives it a more darker appearance than the previous mountains.

4th logo: None to minimal, depending on the variant.

5th logo: Low to medium. The mountain looks ugly and could be an eyesore to look at, but this logo is probably more cheesy than scary.

6th logo: None. It's a great logo compared to the previous one, though it may be raised to low to for the VistaVision variant, due to the big V zooming in.

7th logo: Low. The realistic mountain fading, and the strange blue mountain silhouette may seem a bit jarring, but it's harmless.

8th logo: None. This is a nice logo, and probably the favorite of many.

9th logo: None. The animation is mind-blowing, and it is a suitable successor to Paramount's original CGI mountain.

10th logo: None. It's a favorite of many due to the use of mind-blowing animation and the majestic fanfare (probably even better than the previous logo!).
