1912–1914

Paramount Pictures (1914)
Logopedia InfoWhite SVG NEEDED

Despite Paramount Pictures as a film studio being established on May 8, 1912, the actual Paramount Pictures name first materialized in 1914, during the company's early years as a distribution company. Paramount would become a wholly owned division of Famous Players Film Company at around 1916.

1914–1917

Paramount Pictures 1914
Designer:  William Wadsworth Hodkinson
Vincent Trotta
Typography:  Custom
Launched:  September 17, 1914

During this period in 1914, Paramount's logo (designed by founder William Wadsworth Hodkinson) consisted of a drawing of a mountain peak placed inside a circular field of 29 stars with the company name in a script font, a design which has since been passed onto all of the company's subsequent logo designs. The mountain is based upon Ben Lomond in Utah.

1917–1967

Paramount Pictures 1917
Designer:  Vincent Trotta
Typography:  Custom
Launched:  November 11, 1916 (prototype)
January 20, 1917

Compared to the previous logo, this one was simplified, and the number of stars was decreased to 24, one for every actor that had a contract with the studio at the time. This logo was still used as part of the copyright notice in movies and on the Paramount Television logo until 1968.

1967–present

Paramount Pictures Corporation (Blue)
Designer:  Unknown
Typography:  Paramount Script (custom-designed)
Launched:  October 10, 1967[1]

The logo was redesigned on October 10, 1967, and now only uses 22 stars. Despite this, the logo was never updated on-screen to this variant until 1974. The logo also usually includes a byline at the bottom denoting Paramount's parent company, and is largely updated every time the company or its name changes.

2022–2025 (primary); 2025–present (secondary)

Paramount Pictures 2022 (Blue)
Designer:  Unknown
Typography:  Paramount Script (custom-designed)
Launched:  March 5, 2022

This logo was introduced on March 5, 2022, following the parent company ViacomCBS's rebranding to Paramount Global. "Pictures" was added back to the logo, and the mountain's inner detailing has been made smaller. Following the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media to form Paramount Skydance, the logo was largely discontinued.[2] Currently, this logo remains on the Paramount Pictures website, as well as the website for Paramount Skydance.
