** 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''). | ** An <u>early version of the Viacom byline variant</u> exists, which has the byline slightly bigger and off-center.

* <u>June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002:</u> The logo has been partially updated with newer animation. The stars are now 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 registered trademark symbol now fades in at the same time as the byline. | * <u>June 30, 1999-February 15, 2002:</u> The logo has been partially updated with newer animation.

** On | ** On 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 shot of the mountain before animating normally (much like its home video counterpart). Also, the stars, text and byline are somewhat smaller than in the normal 16:9 variant in order to match the aspect ratio (this is retained on a given film's respective fullscreen/open matte prints). | ||
** 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>videotaped version</u> of the 1999 variant exists in which the mountain does not turn dark.

* On the <u>1991 trailer tape from CIC Video</u>, the CIC Video logo morphs into the mountain as seen in the start of the logo, and it animates as usual, but with a smaller Paramount Communications byline. The logo then morphs into the 1971 version of the 1963 Universal logo. This can only be found on some Latin American VHS releases as the beginning of a short promo to commemorative 1,000,000 copies of CIC videotapes sold. | * On the <u>1991 trailer tape from CIC Video</u>, the CIC Video logo morphs into the mountain as seen in the start of the logo, and it animates as usual, but with a smaller Paramount Communications byline.
