'''Logo:''' We pan down from a starry sky in space to a set of clouds. As we fly backwards slowly with the camera, 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, making us find out we had been watching a reflection all along. 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 its place at the peak of the mountain. The Viacom byline then fades in below the logo. | '''Logo:''' We pan down from a starry sky in space to a set of clouds.

*A variant is used at the end of every trailer for Paramount's movies on online movie stores like iTunes and the PlayStation Store. We see 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. | *A variant is used at the end of every trailer for Paramount's movies on online movie stores like iTunes and the PlayStation Store.

*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. | *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.

*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''. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Incredibly breathtaking CGI; very reminiscent of the more majestic and stylized 1940s and '50s mountains. | '''FX/SFX:''' Incredibly breathtaking CGI; very reminiscent of the more majestic and stylized 1940s and '50s mountains. | ||
