'''Music/Sounds:''' A slower version of the Lalo Schifrin jingle which was first heard with 2nd logo. There were many variations of this jingle throughout the '70s and '80s. There is also one completely different theme composed by Jerry Goldsmith used in 1977. A brief explanation of the jingles goes as follows:

'''Legacy:''' It began Paramount's full time practice of using their movie logo as their de-facto television logo. The 1995 variants were rather infamous for plastering older logos, similar to CBS Television Distribution.
