Paramount Animation

Logo description by BoyOnTheMoonVideo capture by Pepsi9072Background: Paramount Animation is the animation label of Paramount Pictures. It was founded in 2011 after the success of Nickelodeon Movies' Rango and in the wake of the studio's split with DreamWorks Animation in 2012. Its first film was The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water released in 2015, with its last release being Wonder Park in 2019. Upcoming films from the division include The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run,Rumble, Luck, The Tiger's Apprentice, and Jersey Crabs. The division didn't have an on-screen logo until 2020.(September 19, 2019-)<iframe frameborder="0" height="250" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/82b46da3bf814858de09d9b188efa674a9098e3a" width="444"></iframe>nullNickname: "Star Skipper"Logo: In a valley, with a forest and mountain in the distance, we see a young girl wearing a yellow shirt and purple pants (officially named "Star Skipper") standing on some rocks next to the valley's lake. She skips a rock across the lake. As the camera follows the rock, it transforms into a golden star. It continues to fly through the forest and up the hills, until we reach a colorful version of the famous Paramountain in an orange morning environment surrounded by clouds. The other 21 stars, also in gold, encircle the mountain and the "Paramount" script in blue zooms out and takes its position. The final star thrown by the girl swoops by forming the word "Animation" in a handwritten blue script font on the bottom as the star takes its place. The byline fades in below. Byline(s):September 19, 2019: BylinelessNovember 14, 2019: "A VIACOM COMPANY"January 29, 2020, August 7, 2020-: "A ViacomCBS Company"Trivia: The logo and Star Skipper were designed by Christopher Zibach, who worked on Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie as a lead visual development artist and art director. The studio decided to make the mascot a girl because, according to the studio's president Mireille Soria, it captures "the magic" of the division.FX/SFX: Excellent CGI from Reel FX and ATK PLN!Music/Sounds: We hear birds chirping and nature sounds, followed by water sounds, some whooshes, and the Michael Giacchino fanfare from the 2012 Paramount logo.Availability: Brand new. It first debuted on an article published by <a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/paramount-animation-star-skipper-trademark-logo-1203339812/" target="_self">Variety</a>. The variant with the Viacom byline only appeared on the first trailer for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. The logo with the ViacomCBS byline debuted on the Super Bowl trailer for the film.Editor's Note: A fantastic logo that puts a great spin on the classic Paramountain.
Paramount Classics

Video captures courtesy of YarcoTV, LogosForTheWinBackground: Paramount Classics was launched in May 1998 to distribute films with a more "arthouse" and/or foreign feel than its parent company, as well as occasionally distributing content from Paramount's other labels. In 2006, Paramount launched Paramount Vantage, another label which served Classic's purpose; Classics was then retooled to focus more on foreign properties and documentary films before being folded into Vantage in 2008.1st Logo(March 12-November 12, 1999)Logo: On a black background, we see the Paramount Classics print logo, which has the Paramount gate entrance with opened gates leading to the mountain.

After working its way to the front, the camera then zooms out to reveal the Paramount gate entrance. The gates then open to reveal the mountain and the words "PARAMOUNT CLASSICS" fade in below. Variant: Girl on the Bridge has the logo in black and white.Trivia: This isn't the first time Paramount used their gate entrance as a logo design; they previously used it as a design for their budget video division Gateway in the 1980s and early 1990s.FX/SFX: The camera turning, the zooming, the gates opening. The CGI is slightly less intricate than its parent company's logos, but it's still a well-done logo overall.Music/Sounds: A majestic piano/string theme with wind blowing at the end of the logo, the opening theme of the movie or none.Availability: Seen on films made by the company, including Mad Hot Ballroom, Northfork, Mean Creek, The Triumph of Love, The Virgin Suicides, and An Inconvenient Truth, among others.

Paramount Communications

Logo descriptions by SuperMetroLogo captures by Eric S.Background: This is another educational film division by Paramount Pictures like Oxford Films. This is not to be confused with Paramount Communications, the previous owners of Paramount Pictures.(1979?-?)<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="167" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/e2f0b5006c9de4812cbdb9994a0004b71f117cd5" width="297"></iframe>Logo: Just shows the print logo for Paramount with "Paramount Communications" in white and in cursive to the left. "Communications" is on the bottom of "Paramount". Above it all, it says "DISTRIBUTED BY", and the bottom says "A subsidiary of Paramount Pictures Corporation".

Description by Eric S.Logo captures by Eric S.1st Logo?(1957-19??)Logo: We see a snow-capped mountain against a dark sky. There are clouds that look like smoke over the mountain.

They are currently developing film adaptations of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Rugrats with Nickelodeon Movies.(November 2, 2018-)<iframe frameborder="0" height="255" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/446a5bbe3ca17b0a1e3a9dec6ad15a97acc31400" width="615"></iframe>Logo: It's nearly the same as the 2012 Paramount Pictures logo, but at the end the stars and text encircle the mountain peak higher than usual and all turn metallic. As this happens, the background turns dark gradient blue and the abstract mountain design from the 1968 print logo appears again as the world "PLAYERS" fades in between the tip of the mountain and "Paramount".FX/SFX: This is pretty much a modified version of the 2012 Paramount logo, with influence from the 1975 logo.Music/Sounds: The same Michael Giacchino fanfare as the 2012 Paramount logo. Sounds of whooshes when the stars fly by the camera are added, as well as water sounds when the stars skim across the lake.Availability: Current. Seen so far on Nobody's Fool, What Men Want, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, and Playing With Fire. It is expected to appear on future films from the division.Editor's Note: This is a neat callback to the 1975 logo, which also featured a realistic mountain turning into an abstract version.
Paramount Stations Group

Logo description and captures by TheEriccorpincVideo capture courtesy of originalsboy11Background: The Paramount Stations Group was a company that controlled a group of American broadcast television stations. It was formed in 1991 when Paramount Communications (the then-current owner of Paramount Pictures) bought the last remaining investment of the American media company TVX Broadcast Group. By 1994, Viacom bought and took control of Paramount, adding stations they owned to the group. On January 16, 1995, Viacom in a joint venture with Chris-Craft Industries, launched the United Paramount Network (UPN), with many of its stations becoming affiliates of the network. After about five years of obtaining and selling off television stations, PSG bought Chris-Craft's stake in UPN, leading up to Chris-Craft's depature from broadcasting. On May 24, 2000, PSG was folded and renamed to "Viacom Television Stations Group" after Viacom merged with CBS, also combining both companies' stations together. Following Viacom splitting to two companies (the post-2006 Viacom, and the "old" Viacom became "CBS Corporation") in 2005, the company was renamed to "CBS Television Stations" on January 3, 2006.(1998?-2000)<iframe frameborder="0" height="172" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/405851115bc48c6036a4172969ad74f97c4e0638" width="229"></iframe>Logo: On a background with moving clouds, we see the Paramount mountain used from the 1986 movie logo with a different could background and the words "Paramount Stations Group Inc." in its trademark font below. The Paramount print logo, a long blue line under it, and the stars in their near-circle formation appear from the center of the mountain zooming in. As this happens, the background starts fading to black, the blue line grows longer, and the stars circle around the logo to their spots around the blue border. Once the logo forms, the copyright stamp "© [YEAR] PARAMOUNT STATIONS GROUP, INC." fades in below the name and both the border and the line shine.Variants:A variant exists with no background and the name isn't there at first. The name would fade in along with the copyright stamp. This can be seen in a few episodes of The Teen Files.The copyright stamp may be in a different font.Sometimes, there's no copyright stamp.FX/SFX: The clouds moving, the zoom-in of the print logo and line, the background fading to black, the stars circling around the logo, the fade-in of the copyright stamp, and the shine on the border and line.Music/Sounds: The 1987 Paramount Television theme. Sometimes, the theme fades in, partially cutting out the first note.Availability: Extremely rare. Can be seen in The Teen Files series and the 1999 documentary Scared Straight! 20 Years Later.Editor's Note: None.
Paramount Television Service

Logo description by Cody E. and Shadeed A. KellyLogo captures by Cody E. and Pygmalion XEditions by Shadeed A. KellyVideo capture courtesy of metrodfclptBackground: The Paramount Television Service ("PTS" or "PMTS" for short) was the name of a proposed but in the end unrealized "fourth television network" from Paramount Pictures (then a unit of Gulf+Western), unofficially established in 1977.(1978, 1980-1982) <embed height="175" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/page/Paramount+Television+Service/widget/youtubevideo/763a05d7e42e97501c1e22e74a049a09a3e2565f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="219" wmode="transparent"/> Nicknames: "Mountain Silhouette", "Dark Mountain", "Rising Mountain", "Paramount Television Service"Logo: A dark mountain with a light blue outline is seen against a pitch-black background. Suddenly, a large flash of light is seen at the mountain's peak, and several of these lights zoom in from the peak to the center of the screen. The "Paramount" script, which is yellow, can be seen zooming in with the lights, which then arrange themselves in a near-circle of 22 star-like lights. An elongated orange beam also zooms in to the bottom of the screen, and once everything is arranged, the orange beam transforms into the words "PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE". During all of this, the light blue outline transitions to orange.Trivia:The logo was actually supposed to be a television station ident; it was around this time that a fourth commercial network by Paramount was in the works, but plans eventually fell through. Eventually, new footage would be added to the beginning of the logo and the words "HOME VIDEO" would be chyroned over "PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE" to create Paramount Home Video's second logo.Variant: An earlier version made in 1978, with a brighter background, simplified animation, and a byline reading "THE NEW NETWORK", was ultimately featured on the demo reel for the logo's designer, Sullivan & Marks, which you can view <a href="https://youtu.be/YclB-1DtYfU?t=41s" target="_self">here</a>.FX/SFX: The lights and the words "Paramount" and "Paramount Television Service" zooming in.Music/Sounds: The 1979 Paramount Television theme.Music/Sounds Variant: It has been said that this logo was once plastered over a 1976 "Blue Mountain" logo with the final Jerry Goldsmith music.Availability: Extinct. It was only on a select number of shows, such as the first season of Solid Gold, to begin with, VH1 airings of Solid Gold from 1998-99 has this logo plastered by the silent 1995 Domestic Mountain. The original VHS and PAL DVD releases of A Woman Called Golda replaced this with a silent version of the 1975 Paramount Television logo and the NTSC DVD release has the CBS Television Distribution logo.Editor's Note: The scanimation would actually be ahead of its time if not for the film quality. The "stars" also look more like glowing balls of lights than anything else, and the "Paramount" script looks rather odd. Still, an admirable effort for the late '70s/early '80s.
Paramount Vantage

Logo description and captures by EnormousRat and AlbertoTheMonkeyVideo capture courtesy of paramountvantagefilmBackground: Paramount Vantage was the arthouse film division of Paramount Pictures, launched in 2006 as a sister to Paramount Classics, which was then retooled to focus less on arthouse films and more on documentaries and foreign films. While the company distributed many acclaimed and award-winning movies, they didn't do nearly as well at the box office. The company went dormant after the release of Nebraska in 2013, which didn't even use the standard Vantage logo at the beginning. Arthouse-type films have since been relegated to the normal Paramount name.(October 27, 2006-December 21, 2012) <iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/cccce373e578cd1a485c295fd7e644a3700c4ff0" width="331"></iframe> Nickname: "The Labels"Logo: We start on a black background, before the camera suddenly moves to a white wall with a black embossing label with "PARAMOUNT" on it in white sticking to it. The camera moves a bit erratically and goes in and out of focus several times. Below it, another label is being made letter-by-letter, with "VANTAGE" on it. The label then sticks onto the wall and we see that one of its corners is bent. The corner is then pushed down by itself, and we suddenly cut to black.Variant: In some trailers, the logo is still on a black background.FX/SFX: The labels being made, the camera's movement and focusing. This seems to be made either with CGI, live-action, or both.Music/Sounds: Several clicking noises as the label is made.Availability: Common; can be seen on many films from the company like Babel (the first film with this logo), Revolutionary Road, There Will Be Blood, and No Country for Old Men. The last film to use this logo was Not Fade Away. This logo was not seen on Nebraska, since that film used an older Paramount Pictures logo instead.Editor's Note: None.
Parents Approved Video

Compiled by SuperMuppetBackground: Parents Approved Video was founded in the early 1980s as a company to release classic cartoons that had fallen into the public domain on VHS. It was one of the earliest companies in the video business to do so, and is infamous for their poorly-drawn box art.1st Logo(1980s)Logo: On a textured grey background, we see the Parents Approved Video logo, which is a gold stamp with "PARENTS APPROVED VIDEO" stacked in the middle.

The logo moves to the left and a countdown appears to the right. Later, it engulfs the screen and the background turns black. One more flash reveals "FEATURE PRESENTATION" in the same font from the other word and the Parents Approved Video logo zooms in above.FX/SFX: The zooming, shining, and the appearance of the countdown...Music/Sounds: A catchy synth-pop tune.Availability: Can be seen on Baseball Funnies and Great Plays, among other releases.Editor's Note: None.
