'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} background, we see the letter "'''{{small|V}}'''" sliding in. Then "'''i{{small|A}}'''" slides in, changing the background to {{color|green}}. Then "'''{{small|COM}}'''" slides in, changing the background to {{color|darkred|red}}. When the word "'''{{small|V}}i{{small|ACOM}}'''" is formed, the words "'''{{small|A}}'''" and "'''p{{small|RESENTAT}}i{{small|ON}}'''" appear to the left and right of the word "'''{{small|V}}i{{small|ACOM}}'''", the background becomes {{color|blue}}, and the screen zooms out to reveal the text in its entirety.

'''Technique:''' Camera-controlled/cel animation by [[Terrytoons]].

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} (or {{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 stylized {{color|navy|navy blue}} "{{color|navy|'''V'''}}" (a downward trapezoid with a curved line in the near center) appears from the center. At first it is small, but the "'''V'''" starts to move gradually closer and closer towards the screen, almost to the point where it takes up nearly the entire frame. The logo then suddenly cuts to black or fades to black (depending on the version of the logo).

* '''Filmed and Videotaped Variants:''' The former used camera-controlled animation, while the latter uses either Scanimation or another form of early computer graphics.

* '''Network Variants:''' Usually in camera-controlled/cel animation, but for the still logo, obviously none.

'''Technique:''' Motion-controlled animation.

'''Technique:''' Scanimation.

'''Logo:''' We start out with a screen that's divided in two, with a black/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient on top and {{color|silver|silver}} on the bottom, with a bright light flare shining between. The {{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 "{{color|silver|'''V'''}}" logo as the background changes to a black/{{color|blue}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient. The word "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|silver|'''Viacom'''}}}}" flies in from the upper-left of the screen and places itself under the "{{color|silver|'''V'''}}". The finished logo shines.

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