*<u>March 1-December 27, 2002:</u> For the logo's debut and its first official year (2002), the words "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{Font|Times New Roman|''90''}}<sup>{{small|''TH''}}</sup> ANNIVERSARY'''}}" in gold, with "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" bigger and "<sup><small>{{color|#EDD602|'''''TH'''''}}</small></sup>" smaller and on the top right of "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" and "{{color|#EDD602|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}" below, fade in with the Viacom byline, sandwiched between the peak of the mountain. Again, the trademark symbol ("™") is used in place of the registered trademark symbol ("®") in this variation. | *<u>March 1-December 27, 2002:</u> For the logo's debut and its first official year (2002), the words "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{Font|Times New Roman|''90''}}<sup>{{small|''TH''}}</sup> ANNIVERSARY'''}}" in gold, with "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" bigger and "<sup><small>{{color|#EDD602|'''''TH'''''}}</small></sup>" smaller and on the top right of "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" and "{{color|#EDD602|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}" below, fade in with the Viacom byline, sandwiched between the peak of the mountain.

The stars have a stronger motion blur effect, but one star is missing from the first half of the logo, and the stars in the final shot are somewhat off-center from the rest of the mountain. There is also an error during the portion where the script zooms back, in which some of the stars seem to jump out of the reflection of the text. The clouds in the sky and around the mountain also appear less realistic than in the later version, and the sky background in the second half appears to be stretched vertically (however, on ''We Were Soldiers'', which was the first film to use the 90th Anniversary logo, the sky background is more or less unaltered). Also, the trademark symbol is yellow instead of white. | ||
**Sometimes, the 90th Anniversary | **The 90th Anniversary variant was reanimated to look more natural starting with ''The Sum of All Fears'' (the only film that didn't use the revised variant was ''The Hours'', which used the earlier version), with the color of the trademark symbol being changed to white. The version used on that film would later become the regular logo without the 90th Anniversary tag, which was introduced the following year. | ||
**A <u>still version of the 90th Anniversary logo</u> exists, in which the stars and Paramount script are spaced slightly further from the mountain and the "90" text is shinier. This appears on the video game version of ''The Sum of All Fears'', as well as the Australian DVD release of ''Blue's Clues: Get to Know Joe'' (without the "90th Anniversary" text). It also appears on the cover of the 2002 compilation album ''Paramount Pictures' 90th Anniversary: Memorable Scores''. | **Sometimes, the 90th Anniversary variant fades in after the camera pans down from the sky. | ||

A still version of the Paramount logo appears with the words "Now Available from Paramount" above and a copyright stamp below it. It 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 also appears on old DreamWorks movie trailers. | ||

*Starting with <u>''Iron Man 2''</u>, the logo was enhanced once more with shinier text and sleeker stars that jump out of the reflection of the sky, and the Viacom byline is switched to its 2006 font. There is a noticeable error in this variant where the stars from the first half of the logo are visible behind the "Paramount" script as it zooms out where it should normally obscure them (the deleted alternate opening of the film uses the original variant). | *Starting with <u>''Iron Man 2''</u>, the logo was enhanced once more with shinier text and sleeker stars that jump out of the reflection of the sky, and the Viacom byline is switched to its 2006 font.

**This variant was possibly done to accommodate for stereoscopic 3D films, since the first overall appearance of this variant was technically in the 2007 film <u>''Beowulf''</u>, albeit with the byline being in the "Wigga-Wigga" font and with a part of it being warped. The international version of the film used the 3D [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo used on IMAX documentaries of the time, which plays normally. | **This variant was possibly done to accommodate for stereoscopic 3D films, since the first overall appearance of this variant was technically in the 2007 film <u>''Beowulf''</u>, albeit with the byline being in the "Wigga-Wigga" font and with a part of it being warped.
