Paramount Pictures/Trailer Variations

These are the logo variations used on trailers throughout the years by Paramount Pictures, with more to be added over time.

Wings (1927, 2012 reissue):
 * On the trailer for the 2012 re-release of the film shown in Cinemark theaters with XD screens, the 2002 logo zooms in and morphs into the 1926 logo. Also, the Viacom byline is absent.

Blue (1968), The Parallax View and Chinatown (both 1974):
 * The company name and byline fade out, leaving the stars.

The Shootist (1976):
 * The 1975 logo appears in black and white.

Grease (1978, 1998 reissue):
 * On the 1998 re-release trailer, the 1995 logo turns black and white.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979): -
 * On the teaser trailer, the print logo appears on a black background, with the inner circle in blue, the Paramount script in black, and everything else in white. Then the registered trademark symbol disappears, followed by everything else fading out except the stars, which are joined by ten additional stars to form a complete circle. Then a trail of blue and red stars appears behind it as the camera zooms into the newly-formed tunnel of stars. As this happens, the sound of the USS Enterprise flying is heard.

Popeye (1980):
 * On the international trailer, the 1975 logo appears alongside the 1980 Walt Disney Productions logo.

Explorers (1985) and Critical Condition (1987):
 * The first half of the 1975 logo is shown as a still image.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986):
 * On a TV spot, the 1975 logo appears to be more narrow than usual and the entire logo appears to use lighter shades of blue.

Scrooged (1988):
 * Same as the movie itself, but it also has snow falling as the camera zooms into the Paramountain. This is only seen on the theatrical trailer, which is found on the DVD.
 * On another trailer, the logo is a still image while snow falls and the camera zooms in.

Harlem Nights (1989):
 * The Paramount script glows, and the byline is a dark brown.

Indecent Proposal (1993) and Fire in the Sky (1993):
 * The Paramount script is darker and has a drop shadow, along with the Paramount Communications byline.

Congo (1995):
 * On the teaser trailer, the logo is bylineless.


 * On the theatrical trailer, it's exactly the same as Ghost, School Ties, Indecent Proposal, and Coneheads.

Paramount Family Favorites (1995):
 * A trailer for features in Paramount's Family Favorites collection, found on many Paramount kid and family-oriented releases of the time (such as titles from said collection and Rugrats tapes). The standard 1995 logo plays, but after that comes the 1975 logo's cameo appearance in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!), but with the 1975 logo replaced with the 1986 logo.

The Beautician and the Beast (1997):
 * The logo has a page-turning transition effect.

Good Burger (1997):
 * The logo blurs into the 1997 Nickelodeon Movies logo.

FairyTale: A True Story (1997):
 * A meteor comes up and strikes the logo, which then turns normal. Also on a TV spot.

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998):
 * The logo is revealed through a zoom-out effect (similar to the warp speed effect from the Star Trek series), and looks similar to the main variant that would be used starting in 1999.

Halo (2022, Showtime Networks):
 * The Paramount+ version of the mountain is seen at nighttime and the Banshee from the Halo series flies next to it.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022):
 * On the Paramount+ TV spot, four fighter jets fly over the Paramount+ version of the mountain. The stars are drastically smaller to fit inside of it.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (2022):
 * The 2022 print logo is beside the Nickelodeon Movies, Align, GFM Animation and Aniventure logos in red on a white background.

Smile (2022):
 * The 2022 logo starts out as normal, but when the script zooms in, it turns upside-down, making the stars forming a smile, hence the movie title.

Babylon (2022): In censored versions of the trailer, the stars don't disappear.
 * The print logo is in white with a texture applied on a black background. Then all the stars disappear one-by-one from the left.

Scream VI (2023): The print logo is silver on a misty black background. On TV spots, the logo is beside the Spyglass Media Group logo.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023): The mountain is surrounded by ice and stormy weather.

Mafia Mamma (2023): On the international trailer, the print logo is red on a black background
