VistaVision

(October 14, 1954-March 30, 1961)
Logo: During the Paramount logo's second half of screening, the stars and text fade out, followed by the text "in", which itself fades out and is followed by a big "V" zooming in (a la Viacom's "V of Doom" logo). The words "Impact" and "Impact" then appear on either side in a wiping effect. Then the words "Impact" appear under "Impact", followed by "Impact" under "Impact".

Variants:
 * On The Ladies' Man, a text saying "Ovur" comes up and then fades to text saying "We wish to Thank the United States Armed Forces ....(But only if they came to see the picture.)." Then the logo resumes like normal.
 * On White Christmas, "Times New RomanImpact (with the "Times New Roman" written in their corporate font) Impact" first appears over the mountain, followed by the VistaVision logo without any other text. The rest of the Paramount Pictures logo then plays as usual.
 * A German variant exists where "MOTION PICTURE" and "HIGH-FIDELITY" is replaced by "Symbol der Vollendung" and also appears to be reanimated, with the sky background being still. This can be seen on a German print of We're No Angels.
 * An Italian variant also appears on an Italian print of said film, but with "MOTION PICTURE" and "HIGH-FIDELITY" omitted. Like the former, it is also reanimated to have the sky background still.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The logo has a majestic fanfare composed by Nathan Van Cleave (which wasn't used on VistaVision films such as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Strategic Air Command, Vertigo, and One-Eyed Jacks, which used their respective opening themes).

Audio Variants:
 * The VistaVision fanfare was sometimes specially rearranged for films such as The Desperate Hours (Gail Kubik and Daniele Amfitheatrof), The Tin Star (Elmer Bernstein) and Artists and Models (Walter Scharf, also in a lower pitch).
 * On White Christmas, the final notes of the Paramount on Parade fanfare are heard, followed by the sound of a bell.

Availability: Seen on films shown in VistaVision starting with White Christmas.
 * It is preceded by the 1990 Universal Pictures logo on 90s prints of Vertigo.
 * The last film to use this was One-Eyed Jacks. It is plastered by the 2012 Universal logo on current home video releases of said film, albeit shortened to fit the length of this logo.
