Logo: On a black background, a "P " with yellow outlining and a star inside it spins and zooms out. Then, the phrase "PARAGON ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION ", in yellow and in stacked words, fades under the logo. A light then passes through the logo.

Variants:
 * A copyright stamp may be seen under the logo text.
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * On Lamb Chop's Play-Along, the text "in association with" fades in underneath the logo text prior to the WTTW Chicago logo.

Technique: The CGI effects.

Music/Sounds: 2 synth-string chords accompanied by a deep swoosh and a sparkling "ding" sound. On Lamb Chop's Play-Along, this music carries onto the WTTW Chicago logo. In other cases, it's silent or uses the ending theme of the show/movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * At the end of VHS releases of Lamb Chop's Play-Along, we hear the following dialogue between Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop (much like similar variants of the A&M Video and Fries Home Video:
 * Lamb Chop: Hey, what's that? Oh, I know, it's a "P"! What is i--I can do it, Para...chute.
 * Shari: Paragon.
 * Lamb Chop: They're all gone.
 * Shari: Well, that's true.
 * Lamb Chop: All gone!
 * Shari: Bye-bye.
 * Lamb Chop: Bye-bye!
 * On the 3rd Season of Lamb Chop's Play-Along!, the WTTW Chicago logo's alternate take jingle was heard.
