Paramount Home Entertainment

One of the first home video companies ever founded in 1975 was Paramount Home Entertainment, which was also a Gulf+Western company like its film and television counterparts. In the beginning, the company was known as Paramount Home Video.

## Logos

### 1977-1979

This logo is the hardest to find of all. It primarily appeared on very early Betamax and VHS releases of Paramount Pictures films.

### 1979-1982

This logo is not easy to find. It was only used for almost three years, but can be seen on tapes like Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (1980) and the original VHS release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

### 1982-1987

**Warning screen**

Another tough find, but the logo can be found on 1980s VHS tapes of television shows and some non-Paramount films that were owned by Paramount Pictures Corporation. It usually does not appear on films released by Paramount Pictures; after the warning screen, it goes straight to the film, starting with the Paramount Pictures logo.

### 1987

Extremely rare, as it can only be seen on home video releases from the 1987-1988 season.

### 1989-2019

#### 1989

Because the Gulf+Western company was renamed to Paramount Communications only one year after this logo debuted, it is considered one of the rarest logos ever seen on VHS tapes containing Paramount installments. Many 1989 re-prints of old Paramount films have this logo.

#### 1989-1995

A lot more common than its Gulf counterpart, this logo can most certainly be found on all early to mid 1990s VHS tapes of Paramount films and television shows affiliated with Visual & Audio Communications, or Viacom for short.

#### 1995-2019

If you're a fan of Paramount films and television shows distributed by Viacom on VHS, this logo shouldn't be hard to find at all. It appears on VHS releases of Harriet the Spy (1996), The Rugrats Movie (1998), Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000), and on many other mid to late 1990s, 2000s and 2010s films. However, the 1998 VHS of Titanic and 2 Boobah tapes, which were "Comfy Armchair" and "Snowman" don't have it.

Distribution of Paramount titles on VHS and DVD began in South Korea on April 16, 2001.

In 2002, during Paramount's 90th anniversary, a different-looking Paramount Home Video logo was used instead of this one.

### 2003-2019

Before 2002, no opening logos were used whatsoever on DVDs from Paramount Home Entertainment. When the studio turned 91 years old, this logo began in use on any new DVD releases. In fact, it was still in use until 2019, even though the current Paramount Pictures logo is from December 2011.

### 2006-2019 (HD)

Any HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc releases of Paramount movies would often always have this logo.
