History LogoJoke / Paramount

** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'': ...a [[StealthPun molehill]].

* ''Film/{{Nebraska}}'' opens with the 1950s Paramount logo (although this time with a Viacom byline).

* As pictured atop this page, ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' and [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022 its sequel]] replace the stars with Sonic's gold rings and uses an orchestral version of "Green Hill Zone" from the Sonic games.

* ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'': The logo is tinted green and the stars are replaced by ninja throwing stars.

** ''[[Film/TransformersTheLastKnight The Last Knight]]'' has fireballs soar over the logo into a medieval battlefield, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfUR3c5sLe4 here]].

* When ''Film/{{Wings|1927}}'' received a new soundtrack in 2011, it also had a montage of Paramount logos in reverse-chronological order added to the opening.

[[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]]' logo jokes often involve their familiar mountain cross-fading into another object (usually another mountain), or another object replacing the stars that encircle the mountain itself. [softreturn]

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': The live-action films have the normal logo but with the sounds of a robot transforming, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0I6BdKqww4 here]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMutantMayhem'': The Paramount logo shifts from its usual art style to the film's sketchy one as the stars arrive at the mountain. Nickelodeon Movies uses a shortened green slime variation of the then-standard logo used on ''Literature/TheSpiderwickChronicles'', ''Hotel for Dogs'' and ''Film/ImagineThat'', even retaining the 1984-2009 Nick logo.

** Though ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun'' introduces a new standard Nickelodeon Movies logo featuring [=SpongeBob=] (only his arms and legs are on-screen), later releases such as ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrolTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'' would reveal ''Sponge on the Run'' to have an audio variation all along: [=SpongeBob=] is voiced in ''Sponge on the Run'' as he tries to pull the switch down, but mute in other films.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun'': This variant begins when [=SpongeBob=] shouts his CatchPhrase offscreen (''"I'm ready!"''). He then pulls down a lever after some difficulty, shooting an electrified bust of the brand's iconic green slime through a pipe attached onto the logo. The logo's lights turn on, one after the other, and the dark walls fall down to reveal a purple sky. The Nickelodeon blimp passes by, shooting a 2D green slime projectile that forms the word "Movies" below the logo. It ends when [=SpongeBob=] sings the last notes of the logo's theme.
*** This variant was used in later Nick movies like ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrolTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouseMovie'', but it removes [=SpongeBob=]'s dialogue and replaces it with a more audible "ding!" sound.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMutantMayhem'': The Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies logos are rendered in a sketchy green form in the teaser, with the Nickelodeon logo being a classic splat shape and having the font from the 90s version of the logo.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'': The logo crossfades to an identically-shaped construction paper mountain behind the town of South Park, Colorado, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4LJHRAsmeo here]]. This version was cut from international prints of the film, as Creator/WarnerBros handled distribution outside of North America (the 1998 logo appears normally here).

* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'': The weather in the logo is snowy, and the lake is frozen.

* ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation'': The stars fly up to the logo with the sounds of the deadly firefly drones used by the Cobra soldier Firefly.

** The SeriesFinale of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' swaps out both the ship (replacing the ''Titan''-A with [[spoiler: the ''Enterprise''-D]] and the background elements (replacing the ''Shrike'' with [[spoiler a Borg Cube and adding other Borg signifiers including replacing the fanfare with their {{Leitmotif}}]]) from the version used in the rest of the season.

* ''Film/HarrietTheSpy'' has a rhino running and stumbling on a prop before crashing into the screen and hanging on to the Nickelodeon logo.

* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'': The Paramount mountain in the trailer is snowier than usual and the Creator/EntertainmentOne logo is made out of ice.

* When ''Film/{{Wings}}'' received a new soundtrack in 2011, it also had a montage of Paramount logos in reverse-chronological order added to the opening.

* ''Film/Babylon2022'': In the trailer, the stars in the Paramount logo are snorted off as if they're cocaine.

* ''Film/Babylon2022'' In the trailer, the stars in the Paramount logo are snorted off as if they're cocaine.

* ''Film/SoapDish'': White circles fill up the frame once the logo finishes.

* ''[[Film/TheBradyBunch A Very Brady Sequel]]'': The mountain in the logo transitions to an actual mountain in California.

* ''Overlord'': The logo is in greyscale, and the standard fanfare is replaced with the sound of bombs falling and a clip taken from U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's speech on D-Day ("We will never surrender..."), reflecting the themes of the film.

** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'': ...a mountain in UsefulNites/{{Utah}}.

** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'': ...a mountain in Utah.

** ''Film/Vertigo'': The logo is in black-and-white, contrasting the film's color format, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CZfSc6nJ8U here]].
