'''Logo:''' On a {{color|navy|navy blue}} background, we see "{{font|Times New Roman|'''''Paramount'''''}}" in the famous script, and "HOME VIDEO" below in the Eurostile Bold Extended font in between two lines, one above and one below. To the right of that, we see the 1968 Paramount print logo to the right, complete with the Gulf+Western byline.

'''Variant:''' A grayscaled variant exists on releases of some black-and-white films, such as ''Sunset Boulevard'' and ''Paper Moon''.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, we zoom out on a silhouette of a mountain. After we zoom out to a comfortable distance, a bright flash occurs behind the mountain, and white "stars" (they look like circles or lens flares) appear, as well as "'''''{{color|#ef8e00|{{font|Times New Roman|Paramount}}}}'''''" (in a {{color|#ef8e00|school bus yellow}} script, but closer to the pre-1975 logos). A {{color|#f4c430|saffron}}-colored trapezoidal trail zooms out from the base, and "'''HOME VIDEO'''" (set in the same font as the previous logo) zooms out soon after, tacked onto the {{color|#f4c430|saffron}}-colored trail. As that happens, the {{color|blue}} background gets extremely dark (resembling {{color|navy|federal blue}}). The end result is similar to the pre-1967 print logo.

'''Trivia:''' The second half of the logo was once used as the 1977 [[Paramount Television Service]] logo. "PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE" was featured at the bottom, which explains the chyron for "HOME VIDEO". The original version of the logo was produced by the design firm of Sullivan & Marks.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the abstract mountain logo, with "Paramount" in black script in the {{color|mediumblue|light blue}} circle like the other Paramount logos, and the "A Gulf + Western Company" byline at the bottom in {{color|mediumblue|light blue}}. It begins to zoom up on us, as the stars (which are followed by light trail-streaks) and byline zoom past, and both the mountain and circle grow bigger until we are literally right on top of the peak of the mountain, with "Paramount" centering in, filling the middle of the screen. When the peak hits the bottom and "Paramount" fits the center, "Paramount" begins to shine, then there is a very bright flash, and it dies down to reveal the Paramount script logo in {{color|blue}} and a small "VIDEO" shining a bit between two {{color|blue}} lines.

'''Logo:''' It's the 1986 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo with no video indicator whatsoever. The difference here from the theatrical version is that the logo is videotaped; the picture quality is somewhat sharper and the color scheme is brighter than normal. On occasion, the logo begins much earlier than the theatrical variant.

'''Logo:''' On a black background with {{color|blue}} filmstrips, "Paramount" is seen being written in a {{color|gold}} color in its trademark font. As this is occurring, the background opens up in segments to reveal the 1986 Paramount logo, without a byline and the stars in a {{color|gold|light gold}} color.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gold}} background, we see the text "Paramount" move into its usual position onto the company's print logo, which is engraved onto the background. Once the text settles, the Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" byline fades in underneath.

'''Logo:''' Over a cloudy sunset background, we see a different CGI rendition of the famed Paramountain; it's covered with snow and ice, with the "Paramount" script and stars already formed on top of it, albeit without a byline. The camera slowly zooms in and rotates around the logo, showing us the back of the mountain as a lens flare flashes.

'''Trivia:''' This logo appears to be the base for the [[Paramount Classics]] logo, which virtually has the same animation albeit in reverse.

'''Logo:''' Same as the 2002-2012 movie logo, but it's videotaped and zoomed out (also known as open-matte).
