'''Audio:''' 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].) 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.
