*The 75th Anniversary logo appeared on 1987 video releases of ''Top Gun'', ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'', ''The Whoopee Boys'', ''Crocodile Dundee'', ''Children of a Lesser God'', and ''Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'', and was plastered with its later variations for many years.

*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.
