1979-1981 Paramount Home Video Logo

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

The audio quality is quite horrible.

Please locate/upload in 480p.

Thank you.

RIP Bob Moog.

Music analysis: a low-pitched synth chord, which then adds a pulsating rhythm. As we see the jump to where the Paramount TV Service logo usually started, an explosion sound effect (and a higher-pitched harmony chord) plays to indicate the appearance of the stars, Paramount name and trail.

[majustice]

That looks like something they could show on Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye

[Copper20]

By the way most of the paramount releases from this period used their original paramount pictures logo. However this can be found from the original 1979 VHS of John Wayne's Oscar Winning 1969 Classic True Grit

[ChiuahuaTubeALT]

REALLY REALLY REALLY CREEPY!!!!This is a review by Good ol' Charlie Brown!: Goooooood grief!When I took one of Snoopy's favorite tapes in my VHS,I freaked out so much,that I whined wishing be owned by Warner Bros. IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Review by Popeye:My feet are tender now!On the good ol' me taps!SHEESHKABOB!I'm glad King Features switched me to Waner Bros. now!

KILLUMINATI

[AceTygra82]

I remember this logo being used for the first version of "Grease" on video disk

[rcatstott]

woh that was different

[jbeast181]

man I wish I was a kid in the 70s

[drews1998]

does saturday night fever have this on it?

[Sizzleboy11]

@drews1998 I Wouldn't Say That Saturday Night Fever Had That Logo Because I Think It Was Released Around Like 1984 Or 85 Or Somewhere Around The 80's

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Sizzleboy11

Saturday Night Fever was released in 1977 and, all VHS copies of the tape went to the Paramount movie logo then in use following the warning screen.

[Teddyx1016]

That scared me when I was little.

[MrMdje356]

that logo scared homeofthegoodguys out when he first played the tape it had that creepy 1979 paramount home video logo

[Votapardo]

Iä Nyarlathotep!

Iä Nyarlathotep!

Let thine Evil Mountain of Bane stop the sun in its tracks, and send to the world the evil stars that will clean us from good!

[c3section]

Are you sure the audio is good this time?

Still sounds like something went horribly wrong.

[Morality124]

That's what it is supposed to sound like. ;)

[TServo2049]

This also appeared on the original VHS release of "Coast to Coast" (with Robert Blake and Dyan Cannon).

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

This could easily wake me out of a sound sleep. It's not even music, it's noise.

Boom! EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[phyllis1943]

sex logo!

[Struckworld]

imagine your climbing and BAM! some freakin stars fall from the sky and ring on top of the moutain then fraekin words pop that would be wierd

[MissSkymin]

lol, one episode of Popeye did that exactly! it's called Alpine for You.

[LaddyDongdegs]

How do you know that it was used from 1979 to 1981 if this was only used on one video??

[Morality124]

Based on an article at CLG

[WhatsAYak]

Maybe you can tell us, since YOU'RE looking @ it! LOL

[stewierulez256]

this is my favorite paramount logo ever made

[6V92TA]

the exploding volcano version. I personally have never seen this version before.

[Sammyt3hSnake]

Creepy!

[RobinMetrocolor]

I Love this Logo!

[OpenArms81]

I seen this on Friday The 13th,Urban Cowboy,and Marathon Man.

[OpenArms81]

I loved this logo,it was once A short lived Paramount tv logo,They added synth music,and it became Paramount Video.

[justinionn]

Good grief. That is PETRIFYING!!!

[nesfan1111]

That's strange because my copy from 1984 does not have the logo and has the 1984 copyright.

[Morality124]

usually the regular Paramount Pictures logo from that era was used in lieu of the Home Video logo

[Intersonus903]

This logo was on a small number of titles.

It apparently was also sighted on "Race for your life, Charlie Brown." It IS known to exist on "Airplane!" and "Death Wish."

[ClassicTVFan82]

Their next logo, the "Growing Mountain" from 1982-86, also was not used on all their titles.

[WhatsAYak]

I think that one was used primarily for non-film releases (the Star Trek TV series, Strong Kids Safe Kids, etc.).

[mariaeugenia07]

I am very reluctantly is not the original design of the mountain

[GavyOly]

i meen cool!

[GavyOly]

coll! i like it so ghjujfg pokey

[Marbles471]

To me this is one of the scariest logos ever made.

(another is the early 1980s United Artists one, with the dark rotating "UA" and low, creepy piano tune. Know which one I mean?)

[chabba77]

The attack of the defective electric shaver!

[nesfan1111]

This is not on the old copy of Friday the 13th 2 flip-top box that I have. This may appear on an old copy of Death Wish, Ordinary People, or The Elephant Man. I don't think My Bloody Valentine had this either.

[Jac2Mac]

I watched a very old tape of My Bloody Valentine and it only showed the Paramount Blue Mountain logo. No home video logo for Paramount at all.

[Intersonus903]

It's not on my old Betamax copy of "Ordinary People."

But, it's definitely on the old issues of "Death Wish."

In fact, I had borrowed a copy of "Death Wish" from a friend and it was a copy that not only had this particular ident but also had to have been made after 1984 since it had a hi-fi track. I was able to record a high quality sample of the jingle.

[ChristianWithNES]

I Think it's a good logo.

[vfreeck]

WORST Paramount Logo EVER!

[AsdfTheRevival]

I disagree, I think the logo's design and creepy synth music are very cool.

[magicbird05]

This is scarier than the V of Doom!

[WillWill45]

I think there is something much more scarier then the V, Kalaskly Cupso's logo.

[magicbird05]

No,Klasky Cupso's logo's are cool

[WillWill45]

Your right and wrong. The first one is median, but the SSF (Super Scary Face) is much more scaryer then the rising v.

[magicbird05]

well,the SSF didn't scare me at all,I loved it.

I wander if someone can upload both

[WillWill45]

SSF: Realy freaky. 1st Klasky Cupso: meidan.

[randomchannel134]

The SSF is scary as f***. The first K-C logo is cool.

[larlem02]

I first saw this on"Urban Cowboy".This logo rocks,and the music is cool.They should bring it back.

[Morality124]

so it WASN'T just seen on Charlie Brown!

[larlem02]

It was also featured on early 80's copies of"Marathon Man"and "Friday The 13th".It may have also have been on"Raiders Of Lost Ark",but I'm not positive.

[Marbles471]

Whoa. Now "Friday the 13th" it fits! Just think--somewhere on that dark, cold mountain...lurks MRS. VOORHEES!!

[larlem02]

Gee I never thought of it that way,now I don't care for the logo as much.Maybe Harrison Ford can take her down,Dustin Hoffman and Travolta,don't seem like much of A match.Ha Ha.

[Morality124]

I doubt it

[carlitosbug]

Did this appear in Charlotte's Web?

[WhatsAYak]

No, Chyron's the electronic graphics system used for most onscreen displays over the past 20+ years.

[WhatsAYak]

Yep...that would explain why the Chyron for "HOME VIDEO" looks kinda crappy, didn't realize until now it was actually a slowed-down version of the one used for Operation Primetime.

[Marbles471]

What's "Chyron"? Is that the name of the font?

[Marbles471]

Guess it only appeared on one video because they were trying different ones. As someone else pointed out, this is actually a rarely-used Paramount Television logo that has "HOME VIDEO" superimposed over "TELEVISION SERVICES". You can tell by looking at it that it's covering something up.

And yeah, this is one of the scariest logos EVER. Funny it was used for friendly ol' Charlie Brown.

[Urvy1A]

It reminds me of the Paramount mountain from Popeye cartoons.

[LancerEvoX811]

That was kinda scary.

[chaudn]

Premire from "Don't Look Now"

[chaudn]

After Warning, it's 1979-1981 Paramount Home Video Logo! It's and Opening Logo! Taken from "Wallace & Gromit: Return of the Disconnection" on DVD!

[chaudn]

Taken from "Wallace & Gromit: Return of the Disconnection" from DVD. It's and Aardman Television!

[Manafichu]

@chaudn No, this logo is not from that DVD.

[tmisch64]

I think it is peaceful.

[theperfectone121212]

that is as scary as hell.

[MsGeek703]

Kind of creepy...like it, like it!
