'''Logo:''' On a shaded {{font color|blue|blue}} background, a {{font color|silver|silver}} "'''V'''" flies from the bottom left and then backwards. As it does so, a zig-zag line comes out of it to form the other letters in the name (it shines as it does this), with the "'''A'''" and "'''M'''" still taking the form of zig-zags, forming the word, "'''VIACOM'''". The completed logo, which kind of looks like "\/|/\CO/\/\", shines. | '''Logo:''' On a shaded {{font color|blue|blue}} background, a {{font color|silver|silver}} "'''V'''" flies from the bottom left and then backwards.

'''Trivia:''' Many people think the announcer is mispronouncing the name Viacom. It is indeed long "i", like in "pr<u>i</u>ze", although the original pronunciation of the name pre-1986 was indeed with a short "i", like in "p<u>i</u>zza", hence the pronunciation "vee-a-com". Oddly, the post-1986 pronunciation was used by the announcer on the Magnetic Video logo several years before it became the official pronunciation. | '''Trivia:''' Many people think the announcer is mispronouncing the name Viacom.
