'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, the camera zooms out on a silhouette of a mountain. After the screen zooms out to a comfortable distance, a bright flash occurs behind the mountain, and white "stars" (they look like circles or lens flares) appear, as well as "'''''{{color|#ef8e00|{{font|Times New Roman|Paramount}}}}'''''" (in a {{color|#ef8e00|school bus yellow}} script, but closer to the pre-1975 logos).

As that happens, the {{color|blue}} background gets extremely dark (resembling {{color|navy|federal blue}}). The end result is similar to the pre-1967 print logo. | ||

"PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE" was featured at the bottom, which explains the chyron for "HOME VIDEO" | '''Trivia:''' The second half of the logo was once used as the 1977 [[Paramount Television Service]] logo.
