(Removed the 5th and 10th logos (the Feature Presentation ones) and moved the info to their own page as they're not really logos, but bumpers.)

* This surprisingly appears on a late 1983 pressing of ''The Odd Couple'' and a 1984 printing of ''Harold and Maude'' (usually, releases printed around that time started with the "Acid Trip" warning screen, followed by the Paramount Pictures logo).

'''Legacy:''' One of the first home video company logos ever made; it's very simple and boring compared to the rest of the logos in this page, but they had ways to go.

*Don't expect this logo on LaserDisc releases, as it was replaced with the Laservision logo. Reappears on an April Fools Day 2019 trailer of ''Bumblebee'' (2018) advertising a "VHS release" of said film

'''Legacy:''' 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.

* Paramount Video would produce 1984 to 1986 episodes of ''Brothers'', a sitcom which aired on Showtime from 1984 to 1989. This would appear on 1984 to 1986 episodes, while 1987 to 1989 episodes would be produced by [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]].

'''Legacy:''' This logo is a favorite of many, thanks to its soothing music and rather high-tech animation for the time, which is probably the reason why it's used for a solid 5 years.

'''Availability:''' Rare. This was only ever used on Paramount's "Millennium Collection" video trailer, which can be seen on the VHS releases of ''In & Out'', ''Sliding Doors'', ''Hard Rain'', ''A Simple Plan'', ''Event Horizon'', ''Switchback'', ''Twilight'' (1998), and ''A Smile Like Yours''.

'''Legacy:''' A fantastic CGI effort that sadly was never used on an actual movie (not counting its usage in trailers). It also appears to be the base for the [[Paramount Classics]] logo, which virtually has the same animation albeit in reverse.

'''Legacy:''' Even though Viacom changed their byline in 2010, and the Paramount logo in 2011, this logo continued to be used throughout the 2010s. It's a great logo overall, with the DVD near-seamlessly blending into the main logo. However, some have been rattled by this logo's rather loud sound effects. Nonetheless, it's a favorite among those who watched Nickelodeon movies and shows growing up.

'''Legacy:''' Another great logo, though like the DVD version, it's still puzzling why this remained in use after Paramount changed their main movie logo.
