'''Music/Sounds:''' A re-orchestrated version of the last six notes to Paramount Pictures' 1987 theatrical fanfare, which is a re-arrangement of Elsie Janis/Jack King's ''Paramount on Parade'' by Lalo Schifrin, first heard on trailers for Paramount Pictures since 1976, and is in the key of B♭ major. (Schifrin is credited as composer of this theme on [https://www.discogs.com/release/6408139-Various-Star-Trek-Enterprise-Collection-Original-Television-Soundtrack La-La Land Records' 2014 release of the ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' soundtrack].) It may remind some viewers of the ''Star Wars'' theme. There are two main versions of the theme. The second version, which officially debuted in 1989, has the first note of the fanfare and the last note's echo in a slightly lower pitch. Many of these logos are plastered onto old shows (mostly on TV Land airings, as well as TV movies) with the logo being silent.
