* By November 1982, a new version of the Paramount Television logo is released utilizing the standard template of the main logo with all 5 indentations intact. As a result, the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Television'''''}}" overlaps the tip. Some viewers may notice on this that the portion of the "Television" logo that touches the mountain peak is a brighter white; this is due to "chroma-keying," per Benjamin Edge on Club CBS Television Studios on Facebook. | * By November 1982, a new version of the Paramount Television logo is released utilizing the standard template of the main logo with all 5 indentations intact.

* In the later usage of this logo, Paramount used some videotape trickery on some of their prints with this logo. Instead of letting the film clip roll as usual, what they do is show the still of the logo with just "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Paramount'''''}}" showing. Then it quickly fades into the animation of "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Television'''''}}" sliding in from the right, which then reverts back into a still image (this time, of the completed animation). This can be seen on the first two seasons of ''MacGyver'', a few early episodes of ''Friday the 13th: The Series'', the short-lived revival ''The New Love, American Style'', the CBS sitcom ''The Cavanaughs'', and the TV movie ''The Jesse Owens Story''. | * In the later usage of this logo, Paramount used some videotape trickery on some of their prints with this logo.
