'''Visuals:''' First the same mountain landscape from the previous logo is shown. 22 white stars encircling the mountain fade in all at once, followed by the word "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Paramount'''''</span>" on the mountain's peak (in the same script font as the 1974 variant of the previous logo). The Gulf+Western byline (this time with each word stacked and set in News Gothic) and a registered trademark symbol also appear at the same time below it. The scene then crossfades to a navy blue version of the print logo (with the stars, script and byline still in white) on a light blue background. | '''Visuals:''' First the same mountain landscape from the previous logo is shown. 22 white stars encircling the mountain fade in all at once, followed by the word "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Paramount'''''</span>" on the mountain's peak (in the same script font as the 1974 variant of the previous logo).

* One variation from <u>1976</u> has the navy blue portion of the final logo appear smaller than usual, with the "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Paramount'''''</span>" script slightly smaller, and the stars and Gulf+Western byline drastically larger. This appears on films such as ''Hustle'', ''Leadbelly'', ''The Last Tycoon'', and ''Lifeguard''. A less awkward version with resized text (but still keeping the smaller mountain) appears on films such as ''The Bad News Bears'', ''Looking for Mr. Goodbar'', ''Lipstick'', ''Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood'', and ''Thieves''; this version also lacks a registered trademark symbol. | * One variation from <u>1976</u> has the navy blue portion of the final logo appear smaller than usual, with the "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Paramount'''''</span>" script slightly smaller, and the stars and Gulf+Western byline drastically larger.
