Paramount Pictures

1912-1916
Paramount was founded in 1912 as Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company, which became Famous Players-Lasky Corporation four years later.

1914
The Paramount label first materialized in 1914 during its early years as a distribution company. Paramount would become a wholly owned division of Famous Players by around 1916.

1986–1988
As Paramount Pictures celebrated their 75th anniversary for 1987, their logo was updated to a CGI look and was seen in 1987 up until December 18, 1987. This logo was unveiled as a prototype in December 12, 1986, followed by a final version in 1987. In 1988, the "75th Anniversary" was removed from it. This logo first appeared in The Golden Child.

1995–2009
In 1994, Paramount was purchased by Viacom International, as noted on their updated byline in that company's corporate font. A variant where the 1994 Viacom byline is replaced with the updated Viacom byline is found in the 2011 film Paranormal Activity 3. The first version itself debuted in The Brady Bunch Movie, and the second version debuted in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

2002–2003
In celebration to Paramount's 90th Anniversary in 2002, the logo was changed to a nighttime environment with stars falling from the sky past the viewers, and the viewer is introduced by the Paramount text mirroring what was going on behind the viewer, and zooms out with the stars to the newly updated mountain of the time, and the words "90th Anniversary" fade with the byline. This logo was unveiled on January 11, 2002. In 2003, the words "90th Anniversary" was removed from it. This logo first appeared in We Were Soldiers.

2009–2011
In 2009, Paramount slightly updated their logo with the byline written in the new Viacom font. An on-screen variant debuted the following year in Iron Man 2.

2011–Present
As Paramount Pictures celebrate their 100th anniversary since 1912, their logo was updated, using a new look for the mountain, and switching the background to daytime. This logo was unveiled on December 14, 2011. The "100 years" phrase is expected to be removed in 2013. This logo first appeared in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
