'''Variants:''' While there have been numerous variations of the logo depending on the movie (and of course, the three byline variants), there are two main variants:
'''Variants:'''
* <u>December 12, 1986-December 18, 1987:</u> For the logo's debut and its first official year (1987, even though the logo actually debuted in 1986), the words "{{font|Times New Roman|'''''{{color|silver|75<small><sup>th</sup></small>}} {{color|#EDD602|Anniversary}}'''''}}" appear over the mountain, between the Paramount script logo and the Gulf + Western byline. "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''{{color|silver|75<small><sup>th</sup></small>}}'''''</span>" was in silver with "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''{{color|silver|75}}'''''</span>" bigger and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''{{color|silver|<small><sup>th</sup></small>}}'''''</span>" smaller and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''{{color|#EDD602|Anniversary}}'''''</span>" in gold. Also, a trademark ("™") symbol was used instead of a registered trademark ("®") symbol.

** On films such as ''The Golden Child'' and ''Hot Pursuit'' (the former being one of the first films to use this logo, while the latter has the normal music), a different 75th Anniversary disclaimer appears, the Paramount script is slightly smaller, and the Gulf+Western byline is also set in Helvetica Bold Condensed. It is unknown if ''Crimes of the Heart'' and ''King Kong Lives'', the first two DEG films to use this logo for their Canadian release, used this variant as well.

* <u>March 2, 1990-March 12, 1993:</u> The "Paramount" script has a stronger drop shadow, and the stars and some of the blue clouds have been recomposited.

** Some films with this variant have a vignette effect on both sides of the screen.
* <u>April 7, 1993-December 23, 1994:</u> The stars and "Paramount" script have been slightly repositioned, and the Paramount Communications byline has a stronger drop shadow. Also, some of the blue clouds have been made slightly darker.

** An <u>early version of the Viacom byline variant</u> exists, which has the byline slightly bigger and off-center. The clouds also stop moving once it fades in, likely because this variant reuses footage from the Paramount Communications variant. This can be found on the first two films that use this byline (''The Brady Bunch Movie'' and ''Losing Isaiah'').

* <u>June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002:</u> The logo has been partially updated with smoother and sleeker animation. The stars are more three-dimensional, shinier, and have a motion blur effect, and can briefly be seen reflected in the lake in front of the mountain. The "Paramount" script and Viacom byline now shine as well. The mountain also now 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 image of the mountain before animating normally (much like its home video counterpart).

** On some films shot in <u>2.39:1 aspect ratio</u>, as well as some 2000-2002 films shot in <u>1.85:1</u>, the stars, text and byline are somewhat smaller than in the normal 16:9 variant in order to match the aspect ratio.
