'''Editor's Note:''' The logo was standard for the early '70s with its simple and rough animation and eccentric sound effects. This logo isn't anywhere close to being as well known (or perhaps even feared) as its successors, not only because of its short lifespan but also because it was commonly plastered with newer logos. | '''Editor's Note:''' The logo was standard for the early '70s with its simple and rough animation and eccentric sound effects.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is very well known as one of the most popular "scary logos" ever created during the time frame, along with the "S from Hell", "The Mask Of Guo Xiang", "Princess Ozma", and the "THX Deep Note". In fact, this is the very first logo known to be labeled as "scary" on the Internet for some reason. Despite its label though, it's a favorite to some people. | '''Editor's Note:''' This is very well known as one of the most popular "scary logos" ever created during the time frame, along with the "S from Hell", "The Mask Of Guo Xiang", "Princess Ozma", and the "THX Deep Note".

'''Editor's Note:''' This is a very underrated and under-appreciated logo. If Viacom made any feature movies at the time, this was definitely the logo to go with (with or without the 'Presents' moniker). They already had some TV movies out, so this would have been perfect, yet they never used it. | '''Editor's Note:''' This is a very underrated and under-appreciated logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' The Scanimate-like 3D effects on the logo are admirable, even if the results can look unconvincing. It's also a precursor to the next logo below. | '''Editor's Note:''' The Scanimate-like 3D effects on the logo are admirable, even if the results can look unconvincing.

'''Editor's Note:''' Another beloved logo by some for its good-looking CGI, music (especially on the International variant), and classic voice-over. This also marked a departure from the "V" logo that was used for the past fourteen years. The core design initially lasted for fifteen years, but even after the current Viacom debuted in 2006, some logos from Paramount has prolonged use of its font past its original lifespan, such as the movie logo maintained it for their byline until at least 2010, and the home entertainment logos retained this even to this day. | '''Editor's Note:''' Another beloved logo by some for its good-looking CGI, music (especially on the International variant), and classic voice-over.
