'''Editor's Note:''' Same as its predecessor. Of the two "Split Box" logos, it's the more recognizable version that's also infamous by some viewers for its animation and early Frontiere themes. Also, the 1970 theme would become Paramount's de-facto television theme for the following 17 years. | '''Editor's Note:''' Same as its predecessor.

* This was seen as the intro to several made-for-TV movies produced by Paramount, including ''Seven in Darkness'', ''Quarantine'', ''Dr. Cook's Garden'', ''Night of Terror'', and ''Women in Chains''; most of which have rarely been reran, and a few copies online of some of these programs are bootleg copies.
