Paramount Television (1967-2006): Difference between revisions

'''Variants:'''

* Around September-November 1968, the word "CORPORATION" is missing on the rectangle on some shows.

* ''Star Trek'' has a special variant of the early version with Norway Corporation credited.

* The placement of the registered trademark "®" symbol is either close to or under the last star on the right side of the near-circle.

* A version exists with the Paramount copyright. This was seen between 1970-1971.

* A version where the background is {{color

|blue|blue}} exists, due to film deterioration.

* September 1968-1969: A majestic 7-note horn fanfare. Composed by Leith Stevens, who arranged it from the original "Paramount on Parade" theme.

* September-November 1969: An 8-note, muted horn-driven jingle written by Dominic Frontiere. Notes 4-7 are louder. This ends with a quick glissando.

* September 19, 1970-1974: An 8-note sped-up, tinkly horn fanfare, composed by Lalo Schifrin. Known only as the "Color ID".

* 1972-1975: A thick pounding drum rendition of the Schifrin fanfare.

* On VHS, the early version is retained on all ''Star Trek'' Season 3 episodes, as well as ''Mission: Impossible'' episodes that aired during this time period.

* Early to mid-1990's prints of all ''Star Trek'' Season 3 episodes have also retained the early version of the logo.

** An example of this would be the "The Complete Series" DVD releases of ''The Brady Kids'', which plaster this logo with the 2007 [[CBS Television Distribution]] logo.

** It is also intact on ''The Odd Couple'' on DVD, Me-TV and Decades.

* This logo was also retained at the end of an April 8, 2023 UK airing of the 1978 TV movie ''True Grit: A Further Adventure'' on LEGEND as well.

===5th Logo (September 13, 1987-August 27, 2006)===

** 1990 logo with 1970, 1972, 1976, 1978 and 1979 themes. The version with the 1976 theme was spotted on 90s prints of the TV movies ''Nero Wolfe'' and ''Delta Country U.S.A.'', the version with the 1978 theme was spotted on Me-TV's print of the ''Taxi'' episode "Jim and the Kid", and the version with the 1979 theme was spotted on an Australian airing of ''Taxi''.

** 1995 domestic logo with 1968, 1970, 1972, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982 themes. The 1978 theme variant was seen on most episodes of ''Mork & Mindy'' on Syfy, while a few had the 1981-B theme variant, an early 2000's airing of ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang'' episode "Westward Whoa!" on TV Land used the 1980 theme variant, and the 1968 theme variant was seen on a French airing of ''Mannix''. Several reverse plaster spottings involving Blue Mountain jingles include Fox Family (now Freeform) airings of ''The Brady Brides'', repeats of several ''Mork & Mindy'' episodes when they last aired on older Hub Network and Fox Family airings, and an early 2000's airing of ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang'' episode "Westward Whoa!" on TV Land.

* On ''Judge Judy'' (season 4 to mid-season 6), ''Judge Joe Brown'' (seasons 2 & 3), the final 2 seasons of ''Judge Mills Lane'' in syndication (and on Pluto TV), the final 2 seasons of ''Nash Bridges'', TV Land re-runs of ''The Master'', and ''The Adventures of Corduroy'', the end themes would play over the 1995 Domestic or Network logo.

* On an episode of ''Entertainment Tonight'', aired May 16, 1990, the logo is silent, out of a show of respect to Sammy Davis, Jr. and Jim Henson, who both died that day and were the focus of the episode.

* Although the logo was updated in 2002, ''The Dead Zone'' still used the 1995 network variant until 2006 (and ended coincidentally on the same day as the next logo), and most episodes of ''Unexplained Mysteries'' used the 1995 domestic variant until the show ended in 2004.

===6th Logo (February 4, 2002-August 27, 2006)===
