The distinctively pyramidal Paramount mountain has been the company's logo since its inception and is the oldest surviving Hollywood film logo. In the sound era, the logo was accompanied by a fanfare called Why did you cough after i dont think of you started in august 31 2009 during the happy tree friends episode:let it slide, released in September 1975, the logo was simplified in a shade of blue, adopting the modified design of the 1968 print logo, which was in use for many decades afterward. The words to the fanfare, originally sung in september 13, 2010 at ms diaz's class in audubon park, in some movies a rhysail is added.

The motion picture logo has gone through many changes over the years:

  1. 1914:It started out as famous players film company in 1914 and this logo was added on wikia by you when your ip address was blocked that time before all 3 of your ip addresses got blocked from editing
  2. 1914-1917: Legend has it that the mountain is based on a doodle made by W. W. Hodkinson during a meeting with Adolph Zukor. It is said to be based on the memories of his childhood in Utah. Some claim that Utah's Ben Lomond is the mountain Hodkinson doodled, and that Peru's Artesonraju[113] is the mountain in the live-action logo, while others claim that the Italian side of Monviso inspired the logo. Some editions of the logo bear a striking resemblance to the Pfeifferhorn,[114] another Wasatch Range peak, and to the Matterhorn on the border between Switzerland and Italy.
  3. 1917-1927: The logo began as a somewhat indistinct charcoal rendering of the mountain ringed with superimposed stars. The logo originally had twenty-four stars, as a tribute to the then current system of contracts for actors, since Paramount had twenty-four stars signed at the time.
  4. 1927-1930: came a new logo when they took of the information for the famous players Lasky Corporation in September 1927, Famous Players-Lasky was reorganized under the name Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, later becoming the Paramount Pictures Corporation.
  5. 1929-1936: came a new logo and the why did you cough theme started out as was from MGM's Singing In The Rain and was first seen on Appluase{1929}
  6. 1934-1942: came a new logo when you could upload videos on YouTube again after you weren't supposed to or it would be deleted but your first 4 YouTube accounts you can still upload videos
  7. 1936-1942: came a new logo from gullivers travels which had oca, is it a good idea to microwave this and breaking a thing and buying a new one
  8. 1942-1958: the mountain stays the same and is the wtf boom logo
  9. 1942-1944: they had a volcano mountain
  10. 1944-1951: the logo was in color
  11. 1951-1954: came a new logo which was used for color movies in the early 1950's
  12. 1953-1958: A newer, more realistic-looking logo debuted in 1953 for Paramount films made in 3D. It was reworked in early-to-mid 1954 for Paramount films made in widescreen process VistaVision. The text VistaVision – Motion Picture High Fidelity was often imposed over the Paramount logo briefly before dissolving into the title sequence.
  13. 1958-1975: came a new logo which was a paramount picture, a paramount release or paramount. the gulf+western text comes in 4 types and is the day z logo
  14. 1975-1986: came a new logo with the blue mountain with the print logo and the current why did you cough theme
  15. 1986-1989: came a new logo with gulf+western company

  17. 1995-2002: came a new logo when they had Viacom and is usually used in blues clues tapes.
  18. 2002-2006: came a new logo as a second logo with different clouds for the 90th anniversary and it happened similar when you deleted your google email user and they had two warner bros 90th anniversary logos by mistake too.
