'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Mountain II", "Mount Paramount", "2000s Mountain", "Star Wars Mountain II", "Viacom Mountain II", "Still Mountain III"
'''Logo:''' We see only the finished product of the 2002 movie logo, with the movement of the clouds being the only animation. Like the 6th logo, when the logo is shown closer, it's from Paramount Network Television. However, if it's further away, it's from Paramount Domestic Television.
'''Trivia:''' The version with the "{{Font color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}<sup>{{small|''TH''}}</sup> ANNIVERSARY'''}}" disclaimer debuted in February 2002, a month before its full movie counterpart later came about with the release of ''We Were Soldiers'' on March 1 of that same year.
'''Variants:'''
* The 90th Anniversary version appeared from February 2002 through December of that year. A still frame of that logo was used only on ''Montel''.
* Some shows with the 90th Anniversary version have the logo's colors appear enhanced.
* Just like the 6th logo, this logo exists in both 4:3 and 16:9.
* A 4:3 pan-and-scan version of the Network logo exists.
* Also like the 6th logo, some shows broadcast in 4:3 strangely used the Domestic logo for Paramount Network Television.
* There was a still shot of the Domestic version that was used on ''Montel'' as well as some episodes of ''Sabrina, The Teenage Witch'' on Pluto TV and Lifetime, Cozi TV, and other syndicated airings of some episodes of ''Frasier''.
* A filmed version of the 2003 Domestic logo exists.
* A filmed version of the 2003 Network logo also exists. It can be seen on shows like season 6 of ''Becker'' and the short-lived shows ''It's All Relative'' (on later episodes) and ''A Minute with Stan Hooper''.
* On ''Deadwood'' and the short-lived UPN sitcom ''Love, Inc.'', a still shot of the Network logo is used.
* On some Paramount Network Television shows from 2004-2006, the clouds move at a slightly faster pace than the movie logo.
* On the short-lived drama ''Blind Justice'', it shows a portion of the end of the animated movie logo.
* On ''Entertainment Tonight'' and ''The Insider'', when the credits crossfade to the logo, the logo is still for a split second, then when the fanfare plays, the clouds start moving.
* A silent 4-second long version of this logo exists. It's basically the videotaped closing variant of the 2003 movie logo. A filmed version also exists.
* On later season 4 and season 5 widescreen episodes of ''Becker'' and early episodes of ''It's All Relative'', the logo is slightly zoomed in.
* Even though the clouds in the movie logo were updated on the movie ''The Sum of All Fears'', Paramount still used the prototype variant of the clouds for television until 2003.
'''FX/SFX:''' Only the clouds moving westward in the background or none. On ''Blind Justice'', it shows the end animation from the movie logo. Sometimes, the logo utilizes a simple fade in and fade out, like its movie counterpart. The fade transitions occur mostly on the Domestic version of the logo.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The same 1987 theme from the 6th logo or silence. Like the movie logo, this was done by BUF Compagnie.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* Like the 6th logo, the 1989 version of the theme is used on most shows from Paramount Domestic Television. However, on some shows from PDT, like ''Dr. Phil'', ''Montel'', ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''The Insider'' and ''Hot Ticket'', the original 1987 version is used.
*Also like the 6th logo, on network shows with 5.1 surround sound, like ''Frasier'' and ''Becker'', the fanfare is slightly re-orchestrated.
* Some shows from Paramount Network Television, like ''NUMB3RS'', ''Threshold'' and season 2 of ''The 4400'', use the 1989 version of the theme on the Network logo.
* The most common short version of the theme has all 6 notes of the 1987 theme playing, with the last note being shorter.
* Some shows like the first two episodes of season 2 of ''NUMB3RS'' and original UPN airings of seasons 2 through 5 of ''One on One'' use the last 4 notes of the 1987 theme.
* Strangely, episode 2 of season 2 of "One on One" on Netflix and Bounce TV used the aforementioned variant, while all other episodes used the short 6-note theme.
* The fanfare is played in mono on ''Second Time Around'', ''Everybody Hates Chris'', ''South Beach'', the TV movie ''Comfort & Joy'', and season 1 episodes of ''Girlfriends'' on TV One and Cleo TV.
* S1 DVD episodes of ''Taxi'' use the 1978 Paramount Television theme.
* On some shows, like ''Judge Judy'' from mid-season 6 to mid-season 10, the end theme of the show is heard.
* S1 DVD episodes of ''Laverne & Shirley'' use the 1975 Paramount Television theme.
* A Me-TV airing of an episode of ''Laverne & Shirley'' used the 1981 version of the 7th logo's fanfare before the 1987 fanfare cuts it off.
* A Me-TV airing of the ''Laverne & Shirley'' episode "The Rock & Roll Show" uses the 1982 version of the 7th logo's fanfare.
* Network airings on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC used a generic theme instead.
* A variant of the network logo with the 2006-2009 [[CBS Studios|CBS Paramount "Domestic" Television]] theme was spotted on one episode of ''Everybody Hates Chris'' on Nick at Nite, probably due to a reverse plastering error.
*On Bounce TV airings of the December 1, 2004 and January 5, 2005 episodes of ''Judge Joe Brown'', the [[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]] theme is played over the Domestic variant due to sloppy reverse plastering.
'''Availability:''' Although this logo is falling victim to plastering (by way of the CBS Paramount Domestic/Network Television or CBS Television Distribution logos), it's still common to find.
* It still appears on reruns of several shows, such as pre-2006 episodes of ''Girlfriends'' on BET Her, TV One, Cleo TV, CW Seed and Netflix (plastered on DVD by CBS Paramount Domestic Television or CBS Television Distribution), the first 3 seasons of ''NCIS'' on USA Network before using compressed credits (which use the CBS Television Studios logo), ''Frasier'' on Lifetime and Hallmark Channel as well as the Complete 10th and 11th seasons DVD box sets, ''One on One'' on Bounce TV (as well as on Netflix), every season of ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'' besides season 6 on Antenna TV, Fuse, Pluto TV, and when it was last seen on Hub Network (before the re-brand of Discovery Family), ''Everybody Hates Chris'' on Fuse, ''The Parkers'' on BET and Centric, ''Soul Food: The Series'' on Aspire (plastered on DVD), ''Blind Justice'' on the now-defunct Sleuth network, 2004 syndicated late-night airings of ''Perry Mason Returns'' (which followed the 1990 Viacom "Wigga Wigga" logo), some syndicated reruns of the first two seasons of ''NUMB3RS'' (followed by the CBS Television Distribution logo) and Fox Reality Channel reruns "Maximum Exposure" (after the [[First Television]] and [[RTV News]] logos) and it surprisingly appeared at the end of a 2016 Showtime 2 broadcast of ''Universal Soldier''. The final show to use this logo was ''Deadwood''. The logo was previously seen on Nick @ Nite, TeenNick, and BET.
* The 90th Anniversary variation is uncommon and can be seen on 2002 episodes of ''One on One'' on Bounce TV and Netflix, ''Raising Dad'' on The WB, 2002 episodes of ''Do-Over'' on The WB, ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' on Syfy, Prime Video, Hulu and Netflix, 2002 episodes of ''Frasier'' on Hallmark Channel and Netflix (but not on DVD), Season 2 and 3 episodes of ''Girlfriends'' on TV One, Cleo TV and Netflix (season 2 is plastered by CBS Paramount Television on Netflix), a syndicated episode of ''Clueless'', local reruns of ''Nash Bridges'', later Season 6 episodes of ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'' on Antenna TV and Fuse, ''Becker'' on Pluto TV and when it was last shown on WGN America, and on H&I's airings of 2002 ''JAG'' episodes. This also appeared on several first-run syndicated shows which were ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''Dr. Phil'', ''Judge Judy'' (mid-seasons 6-10), and ''Montel''.
* As for the 2003 Paramount Domestic Television variant, it used to be seen on ''Deadwood'' on the now-defunct Audience Network, and is currently seen on reruns of ''Judge Joe Brown'' on Bounce TV. This logo had been used to either follow or plaster older logos on some reruns of some shows such as ''The Andy Griffith Show'' (following the 1951 CBS logo), ''Laverne & Shirley'' (plastering the 1975 and 1995 logos), ''Hogan's Heroes'' on Me-TV reruns, the first episode of season 1 of ''Beverly Hills 90210'' on Hulu (following the 1989 [[Worldvision Enterprises]] logo), Antenna TV, Pluto TV, and syndicated airings of ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'' (following the 1990 or 1999 [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom Productions]] logos), and when SOAPnet (now Disney Junior) aired the pilot of ''Melrose Place''.
* Season 2-4 episodes of ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' on H&I, Paramount+, Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, and DVD retain this logo (which is replaced by the CBS Television Distribution logo on the 2013-14 Blu-ray sets).
* The version with the fanfare makes a surprise appearance at the end of the ''Dora the Explorer: It's a Party!'' VHS.
'''Editor's Note:''' Like the 8th logo, it's mostly a nearly still shot of the 2002 movie logo (because the background is still animating), which is fine enough. However, some people may confuse this logo with the closing logo of the movie counterpart, as the television counterpart sometimes fades in and fades out and is sometimes silent, while the movie counterpart is the same, but always happening and always silent. Also, it should be noted that the television logo debuted in February 2002, a month before the movie logo followed suit in March 2002, and this is the final Paramount logo seen on television until nearly six years later.

Paramount Pictures was involved in television as early as 1949 when it owned a television network called the "Paramount Television Network" and an early television division known as "Paramount Television Productions". The network presented and produced 17 programs in total until it and the production banner were dissolved in 1956. Paramount also had a majority stake in the DuMont Television Network and owned KTLA in Los Angeles and WBKB in Chicago (now WBBM-TV). Paramount Pictures' second attempt in the television industry began in 1959 as "Paramount Pictures Television" when they produced the television movie Destination Space for CBS. They also co-produced six unsold pilots with Tandem Productions, such as Henry T. and Meet Me At Danny's. They also had a short-lived production banner called "Telemount-Mutual".
Desilu Productions was a production company founded in 1950 by then-husband-and-wife comedy duo, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball (hence the name of the company), producing very successful TV shows and films between the 1950s and 1960s, notably pioneering the multi-camera sitcom format. In 1962, Arnaz sold his holdings of Desilu to Ball. In 1967, she sold Desilu to Gulf+Western Industries, which merged Desilu with Paramount Pictures. Desilu became the television arm of Paramount in July, renaming it to "Paramount Television" months later. Desilu Sales became "Paramount Television Sales", while Lucille Ball formed her then-new company "Lucille Ball Productions, Inc." and Desi Arnaz formed his own company named "Desi Arnaz Productions". Currently, all of the Desilu Productions television library is owned by Paramount Global through CBS Media Ventures.
In 2004, Viacom merged Paramount Network Television and CBS Productions to form the "CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group" at the same time it merged Paramount International Television and CBS Broadcast International to form "CBS Paramount International Television" (later the "ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group", now "Paramount Global Content Distribution"). On December 31, 2005, the Viacom/CBS split took effect and Viacom changed its name to the CBS Corporation at the same time it created a spin-off company that bears the Viacom name. On January 17, 2006, CBS Corporation merged the CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group, CBS Paramount International Television, and Paramount Domestic Television into the CBS Paramount Television Group, but the on-air logo for PDT remained the same until Memorial Day, May 29, 2006, when the first CBS Paramount Television logo debuted. As for the network version, the PNT and CBS Productions logos were used before the CBS Paramount Network Television logo debuted on June 11. However, CBS Paramount Domestic Television was merged with CBS Paramount International Television, King World Productions, and CBS Home Entertainment to form CBS Television Distribution (now "CBS Media Ventures") in September 2006, and CBS Paramount Network Television was renamed as "CBS Television Studios" (now "CBS Studios") in May 2009 after CBS lost its license to the Paramount name it had for three years. On March 4, 2013, Paramount Pictures relaunched a current incarnation of Paramount Television (now "Paramount Television Studios"); both divisions are owned by Paramount Global.
Nicknames: "Rising Circle", "Iris-in Circle", "Dark Mountain", "Changing Paramount Text", "Gulf+Western Mountain"
Logo: On a blue background, we see a black mountain and the words "A Gulf+Western Company" in white. Suddenly, a white circle makes an iris-in effect behind the mountain. The "Paramount" name, which is written in its majestic script font and appears in black, pops in while 22 white stars appear around the border, starting in the middle and going downward. The word "Paramount" immediately moves upward to make room for "Television" below it, in the same typeface. Below the logo are two subtitles, both in white: "COPYRIGHT © MCMLXVIII BY PARAMOUNT PICTURES CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" in a more standard typeface, and "'Paramount Pictures Corporation" in the Paramount logo font.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The "sunrise" effect, the stars, and "Paramount" changing into "Paramount Television".
Music/Sounds: The two main themes from the 1966 Desilu Productions logo. The battling loud version of the fanfare was only used in early 1968, typically for the bylineless variant.
Music/Sounds Variant: A high tone variant exists for both themes, which is generally heard on PAL prints of shows.
Availability: Very rare as this was short-lived, but it is not too difficult to find.
Editor's Note: This is the first animated Paramount Television logo. This also might be a prototype of the Paramount print logo that made its debut in the same year.
Nicknames: "Split Rectangle", "Yellow Split Rectangle", "Benevolent Rectangle", "The Closet Killer", "The Bumper Sticker", "Split Box", "Gulf+Western Mountain II"
Logo: Against a yellow background, we see a blue rectangle which is split into two sections; the larger section on the left contains the following text:
All of the text excluding the byline is set in the Eurostile font (with the company byline appearing to be set in the Trade Gothic font). "PARAMOUNT" has the largest typeface, and the other two lines are progressively smaller. The smaller right section of the rectangle contains a Paramount logo with a blue circle and white mountain. The picture zooms up to the logo, which kind of looks like a blue and white version of the "Rising Circle" logo (with "A Gulf+Western Company" and the copyright message appearing at the bottom of the white mountain) except the word "Television" is not present. Also, the copyright stamp appears when the picture zooms in.
Trivia: A similar version of this and the next logo were used as the print logo for Paramount's record division of the time, Dot Records, from 1968 to 1971.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The sudden zoom-in.
Music/Sounds:
Availability: Rare, as it is usually not intact on many common prints of the TV shows it was on.
Editor's Note: This logo resembles a bumper sticker, which could be a tongue-in-cheek reference to Paramount's then owner at the time.
Nicknames: "Split Rectangle II", "Red Split Rectangle", "Malevolent Rectangle", "The Closet Killer II", "Bumper Sticker II", "Split Box II", "Gulf+Western Mountain III"
Logo: Same as the previous logo except the background is red, the larger rectangle is blue, the smaller rectangle is white (the mountain is cut off at the bottom in this version), and the circle and stars in the Paramount logo are blue. The zooming towards the square is still intact.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.
Music/Sounds:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: Same as its predecessor. Of the two "Split Box" logos, it's the more recognizable version that's also infamous by some viewers for its animation and early Frontiere themes. Also, the 1970 theme would become Paramount's de-facto television theme for the following 17 years.
Nicknames: "Gulf+Western Mountain IV", "Still Mountain"
Logo: Same as the theatrical 1968 logo, although it could be either matted or cropped to fit TV screens.
FX/SFX: Same as the 1968 theatrical counterpart.
Music/Sounds:
Availability: Rare.
Editor's Note: The extended "Closet Killer" on the earlier version of logo can make this scarier than the previous logo to some, but is tamer with the extended version of Schifrin's "Color ID" jingle.
Nicknames: "Late 1970s Mountain", "1980s Mountain", "Blue Mountain", "Gulf+Western Mountain V"
Logo: We see only the finished product of the 1975 movie logo, but more defined this time; the mountain has been compressed by about one inch with the indentations (or impressions) also reduced from five to four. The word "Television" comes from the right and slides in below "Paramount", creating the same end product from the 3rd logo.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The word "Television" sliding in.
Music/Sounds: A slower version of the Lalo Schifrin jingle which was first heard with 5th logo. There were many variations of this jingle throughout the '70s and '80s. There is also one completely different theme composed by Jerry Goldsmith used in 1977. A brief explanation of the jingles goes as follows:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: One of the more fondly remembered television logos, mainly due to its charm and cheesiness.
Nicknames: "CGI Mountain", "Majestic Mountain II", "Mountain of Monotony", "'90s Mountain", "Star Wars Mountain", "Gulf+Western Mountain VI", "Viacom Mountain", "Still Mountain II"
Logo: We see only the finished product of the 1986 movie logo. It is sometimes still, while other times it has the animated clouds moving westward in the background.
Bylines: On the bottom, the following bylines were used:
Variants:
FX/SFX:
Like the movie logo, this was done by Flip Your Lid Animation, with the model of the mountain done by Apogee Inc.
Music/Sounds: 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 Jerry Goldsmith, first heard on trailers for Paramount Pictures since 1976, and is in the key of B♭ major. (Lalo Schifrin is credited as composer of this theme on La-La Land Records' 2014 release of the Star Trek: Enterprise soundtrack.) It may remind some viewers of the Star Wars theme (hence the nickname "Star Wars Mountain"). 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.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Common. The 1995-2002 Viacom variation plastered over previous logos before being plastered by the CBS Television Distribution logo.
Editor's Note: It's mostly a still shot of the 1986 movie logo, which is fine enough. It also began Paramount's full time practice of using their movie logo as their de-facto television logo. However, the 75th Anniversary version was largely wasted, as it only appeared on Entertainment Tonight, while other shows during the period would instead use the standard Gulf+Western variation, before its use on films in 1988. In addition, this logo (mostly the 1995 variants) was notorious at the time for its wide prevalence during its lifespan, primarily due to plastering older logos, mainly ones from older Paramount TV and Viacom. Despite its notoriety, this would pale in comparison to the later CBS Television Distribution, which plastered logos on a larger scale.
Logo: Just in-credit text that reads:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Extremely rare. Appeared on the first two seasons of Geraldo. It has been kept intact within prints available on the streaming service Nosey.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "CGI Mountain II", "Mount Paramount", "2000s Mountain", "Star Wars Mountain II", "Viacom Mountain II", "Still Mountain III"
Logo: We see only the finished product of the 2002 movie logo, with the movement of the clouds being the only animation. Like the 6th logo, when the logo is shown closer, it's from Paramount Network Television. However, if it's further away, it's from Paramount Domestic Television.
Trivia: The version with the "90TH ANNIVERSARY" disclaimer debuted in February 2002, a month before its full movie counterpart later came about with the release of We Were Soldiers on March 1 of that same year.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Only the clouds moving westward in the background or none. On Blind Justice, it shows the end animation from the movie logo. Sometimes, the logo utilizes a simple fade in and fade out, like its movie counterpart. The fade transitions occur mostly on the Domestic version of the logo.
Music/Sounds: The same 1987 theme from the 6th logo or silence. Like the movie logo, this was done by BUF Compagnie.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Although this logo is falling victim to plastering (by way of the CBS Paramount Domestic/Network Television or CBS Television Distribution logos), it's still common to find.
Editor's Note: Like the 8th logo, it's mostly a nearly still shot of the 2002 movie logo (because the background is still animating), which is fine enough. However, some people may confuse this logo with the closing logo of the movie counterpart, as the television counterpart sometimes fades in and fades out and is sometimes silent, while the movie counterpart is the same, but always happening and always silent. Also, it should be noted that the television logo debuted in February 2002, a month before the movie logo followed suit in March 2002, and this is the final Paramount logo seen on television until nearly six years later.
