'''Logo:''' We see the same mountain with the canyon-style scenery as the previous logo, only slightly less detailed. 22 white stars fade in, encircling the mountain. The word "Paramount" fades in on the mountain's peak.

The logo fades to a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} mountain surrounded by a circular {{Font color|navy|navy blue}} border on a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} screen. The final product turns out to be Paramount's current print logo from that point onward, but as most print logos, they change over the years, because in the future, the byline for the print vesion of this logo will change twice. This logo is similar to the Paramount Television logo of the period, but has darker colors compared to the TV logo. | The logo fades to a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} mountain surrounded by a circular {{Font color|navy|navy blue}} border on a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} screen.

*One variation (probably the original) has a smaller blue circle around a smaller mountain, both kind of receded. The text for "Paramount" is smaller than usual and the text for "A Gulf+Western Company" is drastically larger, along with the stars. This very strange and some consider ugly variation was seen on ''Hustle'', ''Leadbelly'', ''The Last Tycoon'', ''Lifeguard'', and ''Looking for Mr. Goodbar'', among others. A less uglier version with re-sized text (but still keeping the receded circle and mountain) appears on some films. This version also lacks a registered trademark "®" symbol. | *One variation (probably the original) has a smaller blue circle around a smaller mountain, both kind of receded.

*A variation of this logo was used as a bumper for trailers to upcoming films with the phrase "Coming From" above the logo. However, trailers for ''Popeye'' and ''D.A.R.Y.L.'' among some other movies had the normal version instead. | *A variation of this logo was used as a bumper for trailers to upcoming films with the phrase "'''Coming From'''" above the logo.

*On some French releases, the finished product looks more like the previous logo. The Gulf+Western byline is larger, in a different font, and moved up the mountain. | *On some French releases, the finished product looks more like the previous logo.
