Paramount Pictures: Difference between revisions

* <u>June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002:</u> The same basic concept is here, but the logo has been slightly enhanced. The stars are thicker (with golden sides), shinier, and have a motion blur effect. Their reflection can now be seen in the lake in front of the mountain, and the Paramount script and Viacom byline now shine. The mountain now also turns dark, and the cloud background is slightly enhanced. Also, the "®" symbol now fades in at the same time as the byline.

** On some films shot in <u>2.39:1 aspect ratio</u>, such as ''Bringing Out the Dead'', ''Mission: Impossible II'', ''Shaft'' (2000), and ''Rat Race'', the logo starts with a still picture of the mountain before animating normally, much like its home video counterpart. It also has a bit of a brownish or bluish color scheme.

** A <u>videotaped version</u> of the 1999 variant exists in which the mountain does not turn dark. This can be found on some Paramount VHS trailers from 2000 to 2002, and on Paramount's "Now in Theaters" bumper from 2000 to 2002, although the variant in its entirety hasn't been seen yet.

** A <u>prototype variant</u> with a more 2D look also exists, and can be seen on a trailer for ''Star Trek: Insurrection'', as well as on the teaser trailer for ''South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut''.
