Paramount Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

*On the 1989 re-releases of ''Sunset Boulevard'' on VHS (reissued from the 1988 printing) and ''The Courageous Dr. Christain'' on Laserdisc (reissued from the 1987 printing), the logo and warning screen is in black and white.

*There is a very rare long version of the Gulf+Western logo where once we fade in, the logo doesn't actually start for a few seconds. Also, once the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" text zooms in, there is a tan screen for a split-second, then the warning screen appears.

'''FX/SFX:''' The CGI squares moving away and the animation on the Paramount square, which held up pretty well throughout the logo's lifespan, and was pretty advanced for 1989.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:'''

*A variation exists where the announcer says "Paramount is pleased to bring you our feature presentation". This was used with all three byline variants, and can be found on Laserdisc releases, as well as VHS releases which have no previews before the film (such as the 1989 releases of the first four ''Star Trek'' films, the 1998 release of ''A Separate Peace'', the 2000 release of ''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut'', the 2001 release ''Nick Jr.'s Imagine That!'', any promotional copies of movies released by Paramount (with the exception of ''Harriet the Spy'', ''The Ghost and the Darkness'', ''The General's Daughter'', ''Coach Carter, The Longest Yard, Aeon Flux, A Night at the Roxbury'', ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'', ''Teletubbies: Naughty Noo Noo!'', ''Boohbah: Hot Dog'', and ''Nickelodeon Super Toons''), and the 1998 widescreen VHS release of ''Forrest Gump'', while the full screen version has the standard voice-over). This variant also appears on tapes made and sold exclusively through Columbia House (usually identifiable by the presence of an orange sticker on the cover). On rare occasions, this variation did appear right after previews, such as the 1996 VHS of ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' and its 2000 reprint, and a series of four videocassettes sold as part of a 1993 McDonald's promotion, including ''The Addams Family'' and ''Ghost'' (these releases have the Rank Home Video print logo on one of the spines on the slipcovers for those films and a face label on the tapes with a special red, yellow, black and white color scheme). Also seen on the 2006 VHS of ''Yours, Mine & Ours'' (2005 remake), which also has no previews.

* On the "COMING ATTRACTIONS" variant, the announcer says "Here are some exciting coming attractions from Paramount."

'''Availability:''' Very common. It appears on most Paramount video releases.

*The final Paramount film released on VHS and to use this logo was the 2006 VHS of ''Yours, Mine & Ours'' (2005 remake), and the last tapes to use it overall were the 2006 VHS of ''Go Diego Go!: Diego Saves Christmas'', which is also the final retail Paramount VHS ever released, and the 2007 screener VHS releases of ''Wonder Pets: Save The Wonder Pets!'' and ''An Inconvenient Truth''.  

*On the 1991 LaserDisc release of ''Apocalypse Now'', the 1991 VHS of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', the 1998 VHS release of ''Titanic'', and most French Canadian Paramount tapes after [[Malofilm Video (Canada)|Malofilm Video]] ceased distribution of Paramount titles, this logo is not shown at all, it just goes straight to the warning screen, while on the 1997 releases of ''The Godfather'' trilogy, the Logo cuts to a black screen before the 1995 [[THX]] Logo, as the warnings are placed at the beginning, separate from the Logo.

*This and the preceding Stay Tuned After the Movie bumper make surprise appearances on British VHS releases that have special features at the end of the tape, such as ''The Italian Job'' and ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life''.

*This appears on demo and screener VHS tapes of PBS Kids shows from 2004 to 2006, such as ''Boohbah'', ''Caillou'', and ''Teletubbies''. The normal releases just start with the warning screen used on Paramount DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

'''Editor's Note:''' Perhaps one of the most famous logos in home video history, and has become a favorite of many.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' Same as the 5th logo.

'''Availability:''' Rare, as this logo was only used for less than a year.

*Some 2002 releases, strangely, have this logo's print version on the label and packaging, but do not have this logo on the tape, as they use the 5th Logo instead. See the list above for details.

*Some prints of ''Changing Lanes'' do have this logo, but it cuts to the 1995 warning screen instead of the 2002 one (this is probably due to the fact that the other ones and the demo VHS use the previous Feature Presentation screen instead of this one).
