Paramount Global

Background
The second incarnation of Viacom was established on December 31st, 2005 after the original was split and divided into two: this which retains the original Viacom name, and another one which was the original Viacom which was reincorporated into "CBS Corporation", officially ceasing to exist. On December 4, 2019, Viacom and CBS remerged into ViacomCBS Inc.

(October 11-November 22, 2017)


Nickname: "ViacoMatrix"

Logo: Just the name "VIACOM" in the 2006 font appearing letter-by-letter as letters change by quickly (like the Matrix, hence the name "ViacoMatrix") in a more normal-looking font.

FX/SFX: The letters changing to form the Viacom name.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program or none.

Availability: Only seen on the second and final season of The Shannara Chronicles.

Editor's Note: It looks pretty cool for a modern-day simplistic logo. For a logo that looks simple (which happens to be somewhat of a trend in the latter-day New Tens), its designer must've put some thought into it for once.

1st Logo (December 4, 2019)
Nicknames: "The Chord", "Hazy ViacomCBS", "Boring ViacomCBS", "The Loud Chord"

Logo: Amongst a hazy blue-grey background, we see the ViacomCBS logo (with a box of the same background around it) zoom out to fit with the background. We also see 2 blue-grey tringles on the side zoom out.

FX/SFX: The slow zoom out.

Music/Sounds: 2 drum hits and a loud chord (possibly the end theme of a sizzle reel)

Availability: Only seen on a sizzle reel to said company.

Editors Note: This logo looks rather bland and boring compared to the previous logos. The chord can also be startling to some.

2nd Logo (April 29, 2020-)
Nickname: "The Slide"

Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: The logo shifts in, and the bars slides.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on #DanceTogether with D-Nice. It may appear on future shows from the company.

Editors Note: This one is even better than the previous one.
