'''Nicknames:''' "V of Doom", "Big V", "Zooming V", "Viacom V", "That V"
'''Nickname:''' "V of Doom"


'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} (or {{font color|mediumpurple|lavender}}) background, the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A Viacom Presentation'''}}" in a Palatino-like typeface zooms in from the center of the screen at a very fast pace, then stops abruptly (on the filmed variant) when it gets near to the screen. Then, a fancy-cut, {{Font color|navy|navy blue}} "{{Font color|navy|'''V'''}}" (a downward trapezoid with a curved line in the near center) zooms in from the center and moves gradually closer and closer to the screen. When it gets to the point where the "'''V'''" takes up nearly the entire screen, the screen suddenly cuts to black or fades to black (depending on the version of the logo), with the "'''V'''" presumably still moving ever closer.

'''Nicknames:''' "Special Delivery", "The Viacom Emblem", "Viacom V III", "Golden V"
'''Nickname:''' "Special Delivery"


'''Logo:''' We start off in outer space. The words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Special'''''}}" and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Delivery'''''}}" streak through the sun in the background, leaving a {{font color|red|r}}{{font color|orange|a}}{{font color|#FFD900|i}}{{font color|limegreen|n}}{{font color|blue|b}}{{font color|magenta|o}}{{font color|purple|w}} trail. Then on a {{font color|blue|blue}}/black gradient background, the two words fly towards a stylized {{Font color|gold|gold}} ring with wings and the familiar "'''V'''" from the 2nd logo on its base. "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''From'' Viacom'''}}" with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Viacom'''}}" in a bigger font, also fly towards the ring, settling inside it. The logo then constantly shines, occasionally flashing. At the end, a firework flash effect emerges from the logo.

'''Nickname:''' "V of Steel"


'''Logo:''' We start out with a screen that's divided in two, with a black/{{font color|purple|purple}} gradient on top and {{font color|silver|silver}} on the bottom, with a bright light flare shining between. The {{font color|silver|silver}} part then rotates counter-clockwise (a la [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment#CBS/Fox Video|CBS/Fox Video]]), revealing it is a steel version of the "{{font color|silver|'''V'''}}" logo as the background changes to a black/{{font color|blue|blue}}/{{font color|purple|purple}} gradient. The word "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{font color|silver|'''Viacom'''}}}}" flies in from the upper-left of the screen and places itself under the "{{font color|silver|'''V'''}}", which shines.

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

The background is full of the letters of the word along with a {{font color|blue|blue}} smoke effect that slowly clears out. After "{{font color|royalblue|'''VIACOM'''}}" settles, the text "{{font color|royalblue|'''PRODUCTIONS'''}}" in Futura Extra Bold moves up ala the "Float In" animation of Microsoft PowerPoint, with a line and the byline "{{font color|royalblue|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''a Paramount company'''''}}}}" (in the [[Paramount Pictures]] logo's font) fading in below it.
