'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variant:''' There is a very rare variant which uses the "Paramount is..." voiceover. The only releases with this variant were ''Damaged Care'', ''Bleacher Bums'', ''My Horrible Year!'', ''Bobbie's Girl'', the demo VHS tapes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Deep Sea Sillies'', ''Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Band'', ''Rugrats: Mysteries'' and ''Hey Arnold!: The Movie'', and ''The Day Reagan Was Shot''. Again, these are releases with no previews before the film. However, the demo VHS of ''Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat'' is the ONLY release to have this after the previews.

'''Availability:''' Rare, as this logo was only used for less than a year.
'''Availability:''' Rare. It got more rare several times since it's first appearance.
*The first release to use this was the second VHS print of ''Vanilla Sky''. Seen on certain other 2002 Paramount Home Video VHS releases from the time frame after that, such as ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories'', ''The Sum of All Fears'', ''Lucky Break'', ''MTV Yoga'', subsequent prints of ''Crossroads'' and ''Orange County'', ''Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music'', ''The Day Reagan Was Shot'', ''Damaged Care'', ''Bleacher Bums'', ''My Horrible Year!'', the demo VHS tapes of ''Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Deep Sea Sillies'', ''Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Band'', ''Rugrats: Mysteries'' and ''Hey Arnold!: The Movie'' (the retail versions have the 5th logo), all 3 ''Jackass'' volumes, ''Rugrats: Christmas'', ''Dora the Explorer: Christmas'', and ''Little Bill: Merry Christmas, Little Bill''. The last tape to use this was ''K-19: The Widowmaker''.

The last tape to use this was ''K-19: The Widowmaker''.
*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.
*Many variants of this logo are also used as an Easter Egg in Windows 10 if you open notepad, type in "Mr. Whiskers and His Friends Wants to Bounce", Save the document as "Let’s Bounce" and open it, including ones with Timmy Turner and Wubbzy, ones with Bugs Bunny/Mr. Whiskers, among others.
*Some prints of ''Changing Lanes'' have this logo, but it cuts to the 1995 warning screen instead of the 2002 one (this is probably due to the fact that other prints and the demo VHS use the previous Feature Presentation screen instead of this one).
*The 1941 and 2004 byline versions are only supposed to be used on Barney and Wakko's’s Clues. However, they accidentally appeared on Frosty the Snowman, Hey Arnold!: The Movie, several Tom and Jerry cartoons, 2 Little Bill episodes from September 7, 2000 and the Teen Titans Go! episode, The Streak.


'''Editor's Note:''' A worthy successor to the 5th logo, even if it was short-lived.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Was seen on a 2002 TV spot for the DVD release of ''Rat Race''. It is unknown if this appeared anywhere else, but don't expect to see an animated variant on early Paramount DVDs, as they jump to the warning screen at the beginning instead, sometimes with previews preceding to match VHS counterparts.
