* InOn rare cases, it uses the closing theme of the show/movie or is silent, such as the 1973-74 animated ''Star Trek'' series and the 1975 TV movie ''The Legend of Lizzie Borden''.
* An off-sync variant exists, which was spotted on an episode of ''The Brady Bunch''. The 1969 theme would begin during the black screen between the credits and the logo, before the logo appears. As a result, part of the logo was silent.

* It also appears on recent DVD releases of the first four seasons of ''Webster'' from Shout! Factory (the Paramount logo on S1season 1 would be the standard version with 1979 music [standard version meaning the one with the space between the mountain and "Paramount"] and the Paramount logo on a few S2 episodes and the entire 4th season would use the 1982 tall-peaked variant, though on some international reruns and DVD episodes, it would use the standard version instead).

*Strangely, the ''One on One'' episode "I Believe I Can Fly" (specifically, part 2) on Netflix and Bounce TV used the aforementioned variant, while all other episodes used the short 6-note theme.
*Some shows have the ending theme play over instead.
*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.
*S1Season 1 DVD episodes of ''Taxi'' use the 1978 Paramount Television theme due to reverse plaster.
*S1Season 1 DVD episodes of ''Laverne & Shirley'' use the 1975 Paramount Television theme. This is because of a bad plastering job.
*A Me-TV airing of an episode of ''Laverne & Shirley'' used the 1981 version of the 4th 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 4th logo's fanfare.
