For many years, it was actually the norm for most of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s theatrically released movies to have a different logo joke for each movie.
* ''Film/HarrietTheSpy'' has a rhino running and stumbling on a prop before crashing into the screen and hanging on to the Nickelodeon logo.
* ''Film/GoodBurger'' a cup gets filled with an orange milkshake, then drives around like a race car until it stops, spills over to reveal the Nickelodeon logo.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'' features Slap T. Pooch from ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' messing around with an orange speck before a giant foot steps on him, leaving behind the Nick logo.
* ''Film/SnowDay'' a man is shoveling snow in front of his house with his dog when a giant ball with the Nick logo crashes on top of his house, startling the man and his dog.
* ''WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis'' has a similar one, except the man is now stereotypically French, he is raking leaves instead of shoveling snow, and it's clearly set in France with the Eifel Tower in the background. Also, after the full logo appears, his dog comes back to bark.
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' has Goddard following the Nick ball as it bounces around, then projects the Movies ball alongside it.
* ''Film/{{Clockstoppers}}'' has the Nick movies logo swaying around like a pendulum in a grandfather clock to emphasize the film's theme on time.
* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants
** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' has a colorful explosion, then a blue sphere (possibly a shout-out to the Nickelodeon Pinball logo), a rose blooms as an orange blimp flies through it, followed by kaleidoscope view of goldfish and finally has the Nick bubble and the Movies bubble floating to place in the orange sea.
** WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater: The logo leaps out of the water, covered in kelp.
** WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun: The logo is a giant neon sign that Spongebob turns on.
* The logo before ''Film/NachoLibre'' zooms around a wrestling ring, then zooms in on a wrestling bell painted like the Nickelodeon Movies logo, which rings twice.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheMovie'': The logo is set up like two planets, to homage Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey.

* ''Film/{{Alfie}} (2004 Version)'': The entire logo sequence is colored in pink.
* ''Film/TheAvengers2012'': Both the Paramount and Marvel logos fade into blue energy, and are seen as different faces on the Tesseract as it rotates.
* ''Film/TheBadNewsBears Go to Japan'' has Mount Fuji as the mountain.
* ''Film/TheBeauticianAndTheBeast'': After the logo sequence is finished, the text disappears and the same mountain becomes the first shot of an animated sequence setting up the events of the film.
* In ''[[Creator/RichardScarry The Busy World of Richard Scarry]]'' animated series, the Paramount logo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgV3vdOT09I morphs into a mountain in Busytown]] which the Applecopter promptly flies out from behind, again via a fade.
* ''Film/{{Chinatown}}'' opens with the 1930s logo.
* ''Film/CoachCarter'': The logo briefly changes into a drawn version on a notebook.
* ''Film/ComingToAmerica'': The camera zooms in to the mountain -- and then ''over'' it, with the [[{{Bulungi}} fictional African country of Zamunda]] appearing behind it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9U0goMQ9ns seen here]]. In addition, the usual orchestral score is replaced by a rendition of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
* ''Film/TheCore'': As it finishes, it zooms into the mountain, then starts to move down to the core of the earth.
* ''Film/EventHorizon'': The camera flies past the mountain and into a black hole in space as the opening credits roll.
* The trailer for ''Everybody Wants Some!!'' features the end of the 1980-era Paramount logo, but with the Viacom byline in its contemporary font, making it almost indistinguishable from the studio's current print logo. (The film itself has the stock 2016 logo sequence.)
* ''Film/ExitThroughTheGiftShop'': As seen on the poster, guerrilla artist Creator/{{Banksy}}'s vanity production company is Paranoid Pictures, whose logo is very similar to Paramount's.
* ''Film/FourBrothers'': Blowing snow begins to swirl around the mountain, and causes the logo to become more and more obscured.

** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'': ...a [[StealthPun molehill]].
** And there's the gag before the fade, as the mountain itself is not of the contemporary design: keeping in tune with the period during which the movies are set, they use the logo from the 1950s.
* ''Film/TheLastAirbender'': The Paramount stars are accompanied with splashes of water and "hit" the logo, causing it to freeze. The {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} Movies logo afterwards is on fire, and gets covered by earth.
* ''The Little Prince'': For its international release, the sky around the Paramount logo glows bright-yellow as the stars reach the mountain, and there are several larger gold stars that come into focus as the sequence ends.
* ''Film/{{Nebraska}}'' opens with the 1950s Paramount logo (though this time, with a Viacom byline at the corner).
* ''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 them theme of the film.
* ''Film/ParanormalActivityTheMarkedOnes'': As the logo forms, the screen begins glitching and tearing, similar to a VHS tape.

* ''Film/RearWindow'': The logo appears on closing window blinds during the end.
* ''Film/RoadToUtopia'': Creator/BobHope and Music/BingCrosby are sledding through the Klondike countryside and enjoying the scenery, when something catches Bob's eye:
-->'''Hope:''' Hey, get a load of that bread and butter!\\
(Cut to a shot of a snow-covered mountain)\\
'''Crosby:''' Bread and butter? That's a mountain!\\
(The "Paramount Pictures" logo suddenly appears in front of said mountain)\\
'''Hope:''' Maybe a mountain to you, but it's bread and butter to me!
* ''Film/{{Scrooged}}'': Amid holiday caroling in the background, the camera zooms past the logo and into the sky to focus on a star above a bed of clouds.
* ''Stage Struck'': "THE END" is in a white script with the "T" and E" in fancy lettering. After a few seconds, the "A Paramount Picture" pseudo-logo is seen on a light red background.

They can be found on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/simblos/videos this YouTube channel]], which uploaded videos from January 24, 2009 to October 23, 2010.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': While this never happened in the show proper, it was planned to have the logo morph into the Starfleet insignia.
** The teaser trailer for ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'' begins with the logo, then pulls backwards as the mountain becomes part of the horizon of the planet Ba'ku.
* ''Film/SoapDish'': White bubbles begin to fill up the frame as the logo appears.
* ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' replaces the stars with Sonic's gold rings, in both the movie and trailers. In the former, the ring's sound effects are added when they begin to circle the mountain.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'': The mountain changes into a construction-paper mountain in the skyline of South Park, Colorado, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4LJHRAsmeo here]].

* ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'': The logo sequence glitches, skips and has artifacts, akin to a VHS tape doing the same thing as it plays. Right before the logo sequence ends, the Paramount logo glitches out, [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly showing the 1986-2003 variant]], before hard-cutting to Sarah Connor talking to Dr. Silberman (in archive footage from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'').
* ''[[Film/LaraCroftTombRaider Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life]]'': The Paramount and Mutual Film Company logos appear as images that float on the surface of the ocean and dissipate soon afterwards.
* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': The live-action films has the stars flying up to the logo and circling it with the sounds of a robot transforming, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0I6BdKqww4 here]].
** ''Dark of the Moon'' had the logo pan upwards to a space vista, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5jr3r_F48w here]].
** ''The Last Knight'' had fireballs soar over the logo into a medieval battlefield, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfUR3c5sLe4 here]].
* ''[[Film/TheBradyBunch A Very Brady Sequel]]'': The mountain in the logo transitions to an actual mountain in California.
* When ''Film/{{Wings}}'' received a new soundtrack in 2011, it also had a montage of Paramount logos playing in reverse-chronological order added to the opening.
* ''Film/WorldWarZ'': The stars graze the water accompanied by the sound of what appears to be a falling missile, while there are muted sounds of war in the background and a darker color scheme.
