'''Editor's Note:''' It shares the same amount of cheesiness from the Paramount Television Service, with the added edition of the cheap cut to it and the chyroned "HOME VIDEO" text. It is also known to creep out some thanks to the ominous music and nature. On the other hand, it's a favorite to those looking for the tapes that have this logo, and it is definitely a very unique logo. | '''Editor's Note:''' It shares the same amount of cheesiness from the Paramount Television Service, with the added edition of the cheap cut to it and the chyroned "HOME VIDEO" text.

*A telecined version existed, as evidenced by the video-generated fade-ins and fade-outs. It starts with an almost fully static logo (only the clouds move), but a few seconds later, the animation starts normally. The color scheme also has a bit of a brownish/earthy tone to it. This variant can be seen on 1990-2001 VHS releases, such as ''Peanuts'' tapes, the Paramount Family Favorites release of ''Charlotte's Web'' (1973) and ''Rugrats: Dr. Tommy Pickles''. | *A telecined version existed, as evidenced by the video-generated fade-ins and fade-outs.

'''Nicknames:''' "Gold Mountain", "The Best Show in Town" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a gold background, we see the text "Paramount" move into its usual position onto the company's print logo, which is engraved onto the background. Once the text settles, the Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" byline fades in underneath. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The text zooming back. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A male announcer (Nick Tate) says, "Paramount Pictures, the best show in town!" In the background, the same music from the previous logo (albeit abridged) is heard. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' The tagline is a nod to Paramount's slogan in the 1920s: "If it's a Paramount picture, it's the best show in town." | |||
'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen only on the original North American release (both United States and Canadian prints) of ''Mission: Impossible''. | |||
