cinemax feature presentation clg wiki

Cinemax was launched by Home Box Office, Inc. on August 1, 1980. The network's initial logo was a rounded oblong outline with the name in mixed-case Avant Garde type. A few variants of this logo, which was derisively equated to a "flying dildo" by some HBO personnel, were used during this period.

1985–1997 [ ]

Initially introduced in some on-air promotions in the fall of 1984, this logo was gradually phased in as the replacement to the 1980 logo during the first half of 1985, being expanded to on-air bumpers and in print advertisements by April of that year. The original 1980 feature presentation and program lineup bumpers continued to be used simultaneously in a reduced on-air capacity, until the successor logo came into full-time usage when a new feature presentation bumper was implemented in July 1985.

1997–2008 [ ]

In September 1997, Cinemax rebranded and implemented a logo consisting of the network's name rendered in lowercase Univers type with a circle placed behind the "max" (as with Showtime and The Movie Channel 's highlighting of "SHO" and "TMC", respectively, in the logos they introduced that same year, the use of "MAX" as the logo focal point came from its former TV Guide abbreviation in the magazine's local listings era prior to 2005). Occasionally, the circle "max" was seen by itself.

This logo was still used in Latin America until 2014.

2008–2011 [ ]

In February 2008, Cinemax was unofficially renamed Max in on-air parlance. The formal name was relegated in usage to promotions through cable, satellite and telco providers. This logo continued to be used in Latin America until HBO Latin America rebranded its Cinemax channels as extensions of the regional HBO service in 2020.

Cinemax (second era) [ ]

2011–present [ ], 2011–2016 [ ].

Cinemax reverted to prominently using its formal name on August 1, 2011 (although the "Max" shorthand would continue to occasionally be used until May 2020, when it was deemphasized entirely to avoid confusion with co-owned streaming service HBO Max ). On that day, the network introduced a new diagonal parallelogram logo similar in concept to its 1984 logo.

2016–present [ ]

In 2016, Cinemax made its logo black and white.

North America

Visuals : On a light purple background, a red box with a white outline is shown. Inside it is "WATCH FOR."

Technique : A photo still created on a computer, with a fading effect beforehand.

Audio : None.

Availability : Extremely rare. This appears at the end of Godzilla vs. Monster Zero , just before a series of Godzilla trailers.

March 9, 1988-February 28, 1991

Visuals : On a blue-black gradient background, the title of a specific Paramount movie is shown and underneath it in capital letters the text "Coming in *Month* to video stores everywhere from Paramount" or "Coming this *Month* to video stores everywhere" is seen in a white lowercase Helvetica Bold font. Sometimes the text is in a regular Helvetica font. It often had no voiceover until late 1990.

• On the earliest releases with the bumper, no movie title was used. This version appears on Eddie Murphy: Raw , Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , and Beverly Hills Cop II .
• Other early releases have the movie text in lowercase.
• On "Crocodile" Dundee II , the gradient is blue-white.
• On Fat Man and Little Boy and Harlem Nights , the "available" in "Now available at video stores everywhere" is capitalized.
• On Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan and Harlem Nights , the background is solid blue.
• On Shirley Valentine , the gradient runs in the other direction. In addition, following a trailer for Fat Man and Little Boy , the first letter of "this" in the "Coming this May..." clip-on has been capitalized.
• On the 1991 re-release of Chinatown , a special version is used following a trailer for The Two Jakes , with the movie title centered. Text at the top reads "The sequel to Chinatown" and text at the bottom says "Coming soon on videocassette."
• On Another 48 Hrs. , the "Coming this February to video stores everywhere" clip-on is used, but with the first letters of each word in "video stores everywhere" capitalized. This follows a trailer for Days of Thunder .
• On A Show of Force and Days of Thunder , the movie text is in quotation marks. This follows trailers for Tales from the Darkside: The Movie ( A Show of Force ), The Two Jakes , and Ghost ( Days of Thunder ).
• On the Great Movies, Great Price promo, the gradient runs diagonally and the clip-on text is in all caps.
• Sometimes the bumper would fade in from black once the trailer finishes, and other times it would cut in from the last frame of the trailer. On Beverly Hills Cop II , the bumper would fade in from the last frame of the trailer.

Technique : A computerized graphic with fading effects.

Audio : None, except for Brian Cummings saying the lowercase lettered text on some of the later bumpers from 1990-91.

Audio Variant : Sometimes, the end of the music from any given trailer would play underneath the bumper.

Availability : Uncommon. It can be found on Paramount videocassettes from the era after each individual trailer, such as Beverly Hills Cop II (the first release to have it), Tucker: The Man and His Dream , Crocodile Dundee II , The Presidio , Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , Coming to America , The Naked Gun , The Experts , Cousins , Major League , The Accused , Distant Thunder , Scrooged , Shirley Valentine , Black Rain , Harlem Nights , Internal Affairs , Fat Man and Little Boy , Days of Thunder , and The Hunt for Red October .

Editor's Note : The clip-ons with the voiceover feel wasted since they were only used for two years.

June 1, 1988

Visuals : On a black background is the text "Coming This August To A Theatre Near You" in white.

Technique : A photo still created on a computer.

Availability : Seen on the 1988 VHS of Fatal Attraction , after the trailer for Tucker: The Man and His Dream .

May 17, 1989-December 27, 2008

Nicknames : "Coming Attractions", "Feature Presentation", "Abstract Mountain", "Feature Presentation II", "CGI Mountain", "Ultra Majestic Mountain", "Ultra Majestic Paramount"

Visuals : On a background filled with blue/indigo squares, a flat, blue frame with the Paramount abstract mountain logo in silver appears. The stars shine from left to right, before the Paramount frame flies off as the blue/indigo squares move, opening up like a door. The words " C OMING A TTRACTIONS " or " F EATURE P RESENTATION " in gold are revealed on a heliotrope gradient background. They zoom in slowly to the center of the screen. They then shine, and after a few moments, quickly begin zooming in again, cutting the bumper to black (for Coming Attractions) or the warning screen (for Feature Presentation).

Bylines : This used whatever byline Paramount was using at the time:

• May 17-October 12, 1989: " A Gulf+Western Company "
• November 9, 1989-May 16, 1995: "A Paramount Communications Company" (in a sans serif font)
• June 13, 1995-December 27, 2008: "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in its 1990 corporate font)
• On most 1989-91 VHS tapes, such as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , Fat Man and Little Boy , Aftershock , Shirley Valentine , Let It Ride , He Said, She Said , and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan , the Coming Attractions bumper instead cuts to the MPAA rating screen . ( Out of Sight, Out of Mind , co-distributed with Prism Entertainment, is the earliest known release to feature a black screen between the bumper and rating screen.)
• A rare sub-variant of the 1995 variant has the Feature Presentation bumper cut to black after " F EATURE P RESENTATION " zooms in at the camera. This was spotted only on the 1997 VHS releases of The Godfather trilogy, the 2003 Filipino VCD of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life , UK tapes that have special features after the film, and an Australian dealer copy of Jackass: The Movie .
• On tapes with the Gulf+Western variant of the FP bumper, the zoom-in of " F EATURE P RESENTATION " is extended a bit to show a gold screen, which cuts to the warning screen 1-2 seconds later.
• On Gulf+Western-era releases of the first four Star Trek motion pictures, the beginning logo frame fades in slower and is still for a few seconds before the audio and animation start as usual. As with the above mentioned variant, the zoom-in of " F EATURE P RESENTATION " is extended a bit to show a gold screen, which cuts to the warning screen 1-2 seconds later. This can also be seen in black and white on Sunset Boulevard .
• On Will Penny , the FP bumper cuts to black after the gold screen from " F EATURE P RESENTATION ," as the warning screen is placed at the beginning of the tape.
• Sometimes, on early tapes, the gold screen from the " F EATURE P RESENTATION " text cuts to a black screen. Then, the warning screen pops up. This appears on The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live , Coming to America , The Experts , True Grit , Let's Dance , War and Peace , and the 1989 reissues of Grease and The Ten Commandments .
• A black and white variant of the Feature Presentation bumper exists. This can be found on 1989-90 prints of Sunset Boulevard , The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance , The Desperate Hours , The Delicate Delinquent , and Hell Is for Heroes .
• On the 1992 screener VHS of Hired to Kill , the FP bumper cuts in.
• On the 1991-95 screener tapes of The Two Jakes , Soapdish , The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult , and Clear and Present Danger , a timecode is shown in different positions.
• On tapes with the Paramount Communications byline, it was in a serif font on the "Coming Attractions" version, while the "Feature Presentation" version uses a sans-serif font.
• On some VHS tapes from 2002, to celebrate Paramount's 90th anniversary, the "Feature Presentation" bumper was enhanced. This time, there is a full color version of the Paramount "90th Anniversary" Ultra Majestic Mountain logo placed on a box over four purple squares. A line of light passes over it, then the logo flies off and the squares peel off, pretty much like before. They reveal the words " FEATURE PRESENTATION " in a gold-yellow bold Onyx font flying into place, each word from a different end, and the words now float against a moving dark cloud background, eventually zooming in towards the screen in a trail of gold light, cutting to the warning screen , which consists of a solid navy blue background this time.
• The first VHS printing of Changing Lanes uses the 2002 Feature Presentation bumper, but it instead cuts to the 1995-2006 warning screen due to a manufacturing error.

Technique : Both versions use CGI animation. The 90th anniversary variant also used live-action stock footage for the moving cloud background.

Audio : An abridged version of the 1988 rendition of the 1976 Paramount on Parade fanfare (with a rearranged intro as well; the 1986 rendition had the synthesized chimes fade out when the music began), accompanied with a deep-voiced male announcer (presumably Bill McAllister) saying:

• Coming Attractions : "Here are some exciting coming attractions from Paramount."
• This was used on videocassettes that had previews before the film, though it strangely appears on Better Off Dead , the Star Trek: The Movies box set (in addition to the 1989 release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier ), re-releases of Footloose and Top Gun , Just for You , A Soldier's Sweetheart , Midnight in St. Petersburg , The Prince and Me , screener tapes of The Pit and the Pendulum , Teletubbies: Naughty Noo-Noo! , Boohbah: Hot Dog , Rugrats in Paris: The Movie , Whitewash: The Clarence Bradley Story , Jay-Z: Fade to Black , and Queer Duck: The Movie , a Spanish-subtitled print of 'Til There Was You , later prints of Timeline , Extreme Ops , The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , Patriot Games , The Butcher's Wife , Necessary Roughness , Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star , The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear , Prehysteria , Major League , Narc , Cousins , Boomerang , Scrooged , The Addams Family , Kid Cop , We Were Soldiers , The Core , Sliver , The Fighting Temptations , Mean Girls , School of Rock , The Perfect Score , Paycheck , and Star Trek: Nemesis , and most Paramount Communications-era Philips CD-I disc releases of Paramount films all of which have no previews.
• This was used with all three byline variants, and can be found on Laserdiscs and Viacom-era Philips CD-Is (as well as the Paramount Communications-era releases of The Addams Family , Black Rain , and Apocalypse Now ), as well as videocassettes without any opening previews. On very rare occasions, though, this variation did appear on tapes with previews, examples including: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , Wayne's World , Delicatessen , Pet Shop , Spellbreaker: Secret of the Leprechauns , the 1996 VHS of Ferris Bueller's Day Off , screener tapes of Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth , The Silver Stallion: King of the Wild Brumbies , It's All True , Intersection , Jimmy Hollywood , The Browning Version (1994) , I.Q. , Pontiac Moon , Parallel Lives , Dead Man on Campus , Hollywood Confidential , Midnight Man , Bad Apple , Apres Vous , Asylum , Ask the Dust , Year of the Dog , and Next , two out of four videocassettes sold as part of a 1993 McDonald's promotion, Ghost and The Addams Family (these releases have the Rank Home Video print logo on one of the spines on the slipcovers for those films and a face label on the tapes with a special red, yellow, black and white color scheme; Charlotte's Web and Wayne's World use the normal voiceover), and the Directors' Series editions of Fatal Attraction and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home .
• This was also used on the 90th Anniversary FP bumper on Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , The Day Reagan Was Shot , My Horrible Year! , Bobbie's Girl , alternate prints of The Sum of All Fears , and demo tapes from this era such as those of Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat , SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash , SpongeBob SquarePants: Deep Sea Sillies , Rugrats: Mysteries , Hey Arnold!: The Movie , and Who is Cletis Tout? .
• The music in this variant - as well as the "Coming Attractions" variant - fades in and out a fraction of a second earlier than variant A.
• This was always used for the VIACOM version only when the logo was the version used for Peanuts, Rugrats, Blue's Clues, etc.

Audio Variants :

• On the VHS of The Desperate Hours and the Laserdisc of The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live (both from 1989), as well as some screener tapes, the ending of the fanfare is cut off.
• On the 1991 screener VHS of Subspecies , the FP bumper is silent.
• On the 1992 screener VHS of Hired to Kill , due to the FP bumper cutting in, the theme starts a split-second in.

Availability : Depends on the version, but as a whole, ultra common, since it was used for 19 years. It appears on the majority of Paramount's home video releases.

• The Gulf+Western variant is the rarest of the three, but can be found on the 1989 VHS releases of Coming to America (on which it made its debut following a Pepsi commercial), The Experts , Major League , and The Naked Gun .
• The Paramount Communications version is the most common, and appears on 1989-95 VHS tapes such as Wayne's World , The Addams Family , It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown , The Kid Who Loved Christmas , Patriot Games , Jennifer 8 , Denis Leary: No Cure for Cancer , the first two Prehysteria! films, Beverly Hills Cop III , Ladybugs , and What's Eating Gilbert Grape? .
• The Viacom version's availability falls in-between the Gulf+Western and Paramount Communications versions. It is seen on 1995-96 VHS tapes such as Prehysteria! 3 , Magic Island , the original 1996 releases of Rugrats: Tommy Troubles and Rugrats: Phil and Lil Double Trouble , Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown? , Eye for an Eye , Tommy Boy , Braveheart , Congo , Star Trek: Generations , Drop Zone , Journey's End: The Saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation , The Best of Mission Impossible: Volume 1 , and The Phantom (on which it made its final appearance).
• While it usually appears as the first thing on the tape, it appears as the second thing on the aforementioned Coming to America and two 1994 Peanuts videos released in conjunction with Travelodge, It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown and You Don't Look 40, Charlie Brown .
• While it was typically used on tapes that used the "And now, we're..." variant of the Feature Presentation bumper, a few tapes (e.g. Wayne's World and Delicatessen ) use this and the "Paramount is..." variant of the FP bumper.
• The Gulf+Western variant is the rarest of the three, as it was only used for six months before being replaced by the Paramount Communications variant. It debuted on Coming to America , and can be found on the earliest releases with this bumper, such as the first four Star Trek motion pictures, the 1989 re-releases of Grease and The Naked Prey , Major League , The Naked Gun: From the Flies of the Police Squad! , Pet Sematary , Puppet Master , The Experts , Cousins , Popeye , True Grit , Arrowhead , Let's Dance , War & Peace , Will Penny , The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live , Sunset Boulevard , and The Desperate Hours .
• The Paramount Communications variant is significantly easier to find, and can be found on 1989-95 VHS releases such as both Wayne's World films, Coneheads , one-third of Paramount's Peanuts releases, the 1990 reissue of Grease , Ghost , Forrest Gump , the 1993 reissue of Charlotte's Web , Cool World , the first two Prehysteria! films, and both Paramount Addams Family movies.
• The Viacom variant is the most common of the three, and appears on the vast majority of Paramount VHS tapes from 1995-2006, as well as some Paramount Communications reprints. This version was debuted on the retail release of Drop Zone (the screener version used the Paramount Communications byline). A 2000 printing of This is America, Charlie Brown: The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk retains the original Paramount Communications variant of the Coming Attractions bumper, while this bumper appears in its Viacom version.
• Strangely, on the 1998 VHS of Titanic , cassette #1 starts right at the warning screen, most likely because there wasn't much room on the tape. (However, the full Feature Presentation bumper, complete with the retail warning, appears at the start of both tapes of the awards consideration screener version.) It also wasn't seen on the 1989 demo VHS of Scrooged , the 1990 demo VHS of Hawks (which cuts right to the start of the movie after a retailer promo for it and Black Rain ), the 1991 VHS releases of the Indiana Jones trilogy (the 1989 and 1999 releases still had this intact), the 1989 VHS of The Shootist (later releases still had this intact), a 1990 reprint of Breakfast at Tiffany's , the 1991 Laserdisc of Apocalypse Now , the 1989 Laserdisc of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , some Star Trek: The Animated Series tapes, alternate copies of The Truman Show and Sliding Doors , some Boohbah tapes such as Snowman and Comfy Armchair , CHC prints of Payback , and the majority of French Canadian releases after Malofilm ceased being the French Canadian distributor of Paramount titles (although a few French Canadian releases actually do have this).
• The bumper appears twice on double feature demo tapes from Paramount, preceding both features on the cassette. It is also seen twice (with the Paramount logo coming in-between) on the 1998 demo VHS of Midnight Man , in both the "And now, we're..." and "Paramount is..." voiceover variants.
• The last Paramount film to have this bumper, and the final commercial tape to feature the "Paramount is..." voiceover, was Yours, Mine & Ours . The last commercial tape to feature the "And now, we're..." voiceover, and the last commercial tape to use this bumper overall, was Go Diego Go!: Diego Saves Christmas! , which is also Paramount's final commercial VHS. However, it continued to appear on rare screener tapes of material released beyond that point, such as An Inconvenient Truth , The Wonder Pets: Save the Wonder Pets! , and Ghost Town , none of which were released on VHS commercially.
• It debuted on the second VHS print of Vanilla Sky , and can also be seen on some other 2002 tapes, such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , Rugrats: Christmas , later prints of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , Orange County and Crossroads , Jackass: Volumes 1, 2, and 3 , MTV Yoga , Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music , Lucky Break , The Sum of All Fears , My Horrible Year! , Damaged Care , K-19: The Widowmaker , The Day Reagan Was Shot , The Emperor's New Clothes , the 2002 reissues of Rules of Engagement and Charlotte's Web , five demo tapes of the era ( Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat , SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash , SpongeBob SquarePants: Deep Sea Sillies , Rugrats: Mysteries and Hey Arnold!: The Movie ), Blue's Clues: It's Joe Time! , Little Bill: Merry Christmas Little Bill , Dora the Explorer: Christmas , and Bobbie's Girl . The last tape to contain it is Bleacher Bums .
• Strangely, some tapes from the year, such as the original prints of Vanilla Sky , Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , Orange County and Crossroads , the demo tapes of SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories and The Sum of All Fears , Clockstoppers , 9/11: The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition , SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween , Rugrats: Halloween , later prints and the demo tape of Changing Lanes , the retail editions of Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat and Hey Arnold!: The Movie , Serving Sara , Blue's Clues: Meet Joe! , Rat Race: Special Edition , Rugrats: Easter , Little Bill: I Love Animals , and We Were Soldiers , have the 90th Anniversary print logo on the packaging and tape label, but not on the tapes themselves, as they use the original FP bumper instead.

Editor's Note : Despite the nature of this bumper and its primitive CGI animation (including the text becoming pixelated upon zoom-in), it held up pretty well throughout its lifespan, and as such has become a favorite bumper of many. The 90th Anniversary FP clip-on is a great bumper from Paramount that was specifically made to contemplate the studio's 90th Anniversary logo nicely, even though it didn't see as much exposure as the original version.

March 28, 1991-December 1, 1998

Visuals : On the background of the later 1989 (or 1995) variant of Paramount's warning screen , the title of a specific Paramount movie is displayed in capital letters, in a big silver font. Below it is any of the following clip-ons in a slightly smaller white font, with only the first letter of the clip-on and the month capitalized.

• On The Butcher's Wife , the "Coming this June to video stores everywhere" clip-on appears twice, bookending MC Hammer's music video for "Addams Groove," which was used to promote The Addams Family .
• On Juice , both voiceover variants were used with the "Coming this August to video stores everywhere." clip-on; the low-voice version follows an ad for Time Out: The Truth About HIV, AIDS and You , and the jolly-voice version follows the trailer for Wayne's World .
• The Delicatessen and Remote screens pictured above respectively show release months of January and August for both titles. They were later bumped a month.
• On Shrunken Heads , the trailer for Oblivion is shown twice (once during the opening previews, and again between the end of the movie and the Full Moon Entertainment "VideoZone" behind-the-scenes feature), with the "Coming this December to video stores everywhere." clip-on only appearing the first time.
• Two 1995 releases use this bumper after a trailer for Star Trek Generations , but with the title arranged differently. On Drop Zone , the title is on one line, while on From Here to Infinity: The Ultimate Voyage , the title is on two lines.
• On VHS tapes of Sightings , the "Now available on videocassette" clip on appears in two different ways. The first time it appears, after a trailer for The Sightings Video Collection , it has a period at the end. On its second appearance, after a trailer for From Here to Infinity: The Ultimate Voyage , there is no period.
• From 1991-95, the clip-on would have a period at the end.
• In 1991, the clip-on would read "coming in *Month* to video stores everywhere." or "now available on video cassette."
• On The Pit and the Pendulum , following a trailer for Subspecies , "This picture has not yet been rated." appears in an even smaller font at the bottom of the "coming in August..." clip-on.
• On Funny About Love and Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael (some of the first releases to use this screen), the text is in a different font.
• On the screener tape of Subspecies , a rare variant appears before each of the Full Moon trailers ( The Pit and the Pendulum and Subspecies itself). Here, the text is much larger, in a different font, and reads " AVAILABLE [DATE] FROM PARAMOUNT HOME VIDEO ." A pink line is at the bottom.
• On the Paramount Family Favorites reissue of The Beautician and the Beast , after a trailer for A Smile Like Yours , the clip-on reads "Rent it now on videocassette."
• Another rare variant has the text "Rent it this *Month* at video stores everywhere." The only known months used with it are January, April, and November. The January variant is the most common, as it can be seen on certain 1997-98 releases following the trailer for Good Burger , though some releases (such as the Rugrats tapes Diapered Duo and Dr. Tommy Pickles ) instead have the "Coming this February to video stores everywhere" text. On Beavis and Butt-head Do America and Star Trek: First Contact , it also appears after the trailer for Event Horizon .
• A few rare "Now available..." variants exist, with the text reading either "Now available wherever videos are sold or rented", "Now available wherever videocassettes are sold", or just "Now available". No voiceover is used on any of these.
• 1991-95 releases have the Paramount Communications bylines in the background.
• 1995-98 releases have the Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" bylines in the background.
• Grease 2 : on videocassette June 23.
• 'Til There Was You and Roman Holiday : Now available on videocassette.
• On The Odd Couple II , the font is especially compressed and the ID stays on-screen longer.
• A drop shadow was added in 1993.

Clip-ons : Legend: [n] - no voiceover, [v] - two voiceovers used

• Coming this summer to a theater near you. [n] (This clip-on can be found on Body Parts .)
• Coming this January to video stores everywhere [v] (A third voiceover was found on Sliding Doors , in which he says it in a jolly-pitched voice like on Version #2, but the tone and speed are different.)

• Coming soon to video stores everywhere. [n] (This clip-on can be found on Hear My Song , Bad Channels , Subspecies II , and Delicatessen .)

• now available on video cassette. (This can be seen on The End of Innocence )
• now available on videocassette. (A version of the above clip-on that has "videocassette" as one word. This version can be seen on Talent for the Game , Regarding Henry , and Hunting .)
• Rent it now on videocassette (The announcer actually says "Now available on videocassette".)
• Now available wherever videocassettes are sold [n] (This clip-on can be found at the end of a promo for Indecent Proposal , The Firm and Sliver on Beverly Hills Cop III .)

• Now available wherever videocassettes are sold or rented. [n] (This clip-on can be found after a promo for Time Out: The Truth About HIV, AIDS, and You on Bebe's Kids .)

Audio : Same as the second bumper, except Brian Cummings says the lowercase lettered text more consistently than before. A few different voiceovers were used for some of the screens; for the sake of convenience, these are listed as Version #1, where he says it in a low voice, and Version #2, where he says it in a jollier voice.

• On some 1991 releases, the end of the music from any given trailer would play underneath the bumper.
• On the Subspecies screener variant, a flute solo (drawn from the trailer for The Comfort of Strangers , which is not advertised here) plays.
• On Subspecies , after a trailer for Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth , Cummings' voiceover starts at the last second of the trailer.

Availability : More common than the second screen. It can be found on most Paramount videocassettes from the era after each individual trailer, such as Funny About Love (the first tape to have it), The Butcher's Wife , Ladybugs , Patriot Games , Wayne's World , Whispers in the Dark , Clear and Present Danger , Blue Chips , Nick of Time , The Brady Bunch Movie , Eye for an Eye , Beavis and Butt-Head Do America , The Evening Star , Switchback , The Odd Couple II , and Sliding Doors (the last tape to have it).

Editor's Note : Several variants strangely have Cummings saying the wrong text.

October 1, 1996-September 25, 2001

Visuals : Same as the 1995 Paramount Pictures logo, except it contains a brighter color scheme, is videotaped, and slightly zooms in when the “Paramount” script fades in.

Variant : On Mission: Impossible , the logo animates at warp speed.

Technique : Same as the 1995 Paramount Pictures logo, which uses a combination of live-action model work and CGI animation from Flip Your Lid Animation and Apogee, Inc.

Audio : Silent, except for Brian Cummings or Nick Tate saying one of the following:

• Paramount Family Favorites : Brian Cummings: "Paramount Home Video introduces Paramount Family Favorites, a collection of memorable feature films, perfect for the entire family."
• Coming to Theaters : Nick Tate: "Coming to theaters this holiday season from Paramount Pictures."

Availability : The first voiceover variant appears on all Paramount VHS tapes with the Paramount Family Favorites trailer, such as the Paramount rereleases of the Sony Wonder Rugrats tapes, the 1996-98 VHS releases of The Phantom , Harriet the Spy , Good Burger , and The Education of Little Tree , the Special Edition of Snow Day , and most Paramount Family Favorites VHS tapes (some might not have them). The second voiceover variant appears only on Mission: Impossible .

October 15, 1996-September 20, 2005

Visuals : On a black background, one of the clip-ons below appears in white, capital letters.

• COMING TO VIDEO STORES
• COMING TO THEATRES (only seen on Deep Impact )
• COMING SOON TO VIDEO AND DVD
• COMING SOON ON DVD AND VIDEO
• AVAILABLE NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD
• NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD AND VIDEO (these next two clip-ons are seen exclusively on The Singing Detective )
• NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD AND VHS
• A sub-variant appears during a home video trailer for The Longest Yard (as found on its screener VHS as well as the 2005 DVD of Sahara ), where the text zooms towards the viewer.

Technique : A photo still created on a computer with fading effects.

Audio : Silent (also for the rest of these Clip-ons), except for the announcer, Brian Cummings, enthusiastically saying one of the following:

• Coming to Video Stores : "Coming this November to video stores."
• Coming to Theatres : "Coming to theatres!"
• A variant of the "COMING TO VIDEO STORES" clip-on features Cummings saying "And, coming this February from Paramount Home Video." This appears only on the original release of The Truman Show .
• Sometimes it could be the end of the trailer theme, like the Orange County trailer theme.

Availability : Rare.

• The first two clip-ons was used for a very short time before being replaced with the next bumper, but can be found on the original releases of Deep Impact and The Truman Show . It first appeared earlier on the 1996 VHS of Primal Fear .
• The others debuted on Snake Eyes , and appeared on some 1999-2004 tapes, such as The Four Feathers , Star Trek: Nemesis , The Hunted , The Perfect Score , Mean Girls , and Paycheck , as well as screener tapes such as the 2004 demos of The Perfect Score , The United States of Leland , and The Prince & Me . Because this version appears at the end of trailers rather than the beginning, some trailers have their own end-of-trailer card instead, making this bumper rare.

Editor's Note : The first two clip-ons had no animation, until the 1999 VHS of Dead Man on Campus , where the rest of these bumpers fade in and out. Before this, it was used before 1999-2003 clip-ons showed up.

February 16, 1999-February 18, 2003

Visuals : There is a still shot of the 1995 Paramount Home Video/Entertainment logo fading in and fading out to a black background (with the clouds still moving). They then see one of the clip-ons below fade in, zoom in, then fade out.

Clip-ons : Legend: [a] - both announcers used, [n] - no announcers used

• Coming To Theaters [a]
• Now In Theaters [a] (This can be found on Enemy at the Gates , Along Came a Spider , The Emperor's New Clothes , Festival in Cannes , and Triumph of Love )
• Coming To Videocassette
• Now Available On Videocassette
• Coming To Videocassette And DVD
• Now Available On Videocassette And DVD
• Coming To DVD
• Now Available On DVD (This can be found on Orange County and Mostly Martha )
• The Previously Unreleased Vanilla Sky Teaser Trailer [n] (Exclusive to the 2002 VHS release of Vanilla Sky )
• Special variants of these bumpers appeared on Vanilla Sky . On a white background, we see the texts in a narrow black font, and in all capitals. The other announcer says some of the texts in this variant.
• On the original variant of the "Now In Theaters" clip-on, the standard edition of the re-done 1999 version of the logo (in open matte) is used instead of the 1995 version.
• Starting in 2002, the logo is cut and only the clip-on is shown. Rarely, even before this, the original clip-ons will sometimes also appear without the logo.
• On Orange County , the clip-ons appear in a slightly different font, which turns out to be Times New Roman Bold.

Technique : 2D computer animation, and on the original variant, the Paramount logo is a photo still created on a computer.

Audio : The original four clip-ons have Beau Weaver announcing them, usually after a few seconds of silence following the Paramount logo. Another male announcer, Brian Cummings, announces the last four clip-ons, as well as the later variant of the "Coming To Theaters" and "Now In Theaters" clip-ons.

Availability : Fairly common. This was seen on most tapes of the era, such as many Nickelodeon TV and movie releases, including Snow Day , Blue's Big Musical Movie , Clockstoppers , Hey Arnold!: The Movie , SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , Rugrats: Christmas and SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Buddies . It premiered on Snake Eyes , and was last seen on The Four Feathers . The later variant is rarer.

Editor's Note : Unlike the other bumpers by Paramount, this one is not very well received.

United Kingdom

Visuals : On the same aurora background as the 1997-2001 CIC Video warning screen, there is one of the following clip-ons.

• AVAILABLE TO BUY ON VIDEO
• AVAILABLE TO BUY ON DVD
• NOW AVAILABLE TO RENT ON VIDEO
• COMING SOON
• NOW AVAILABLE TO RENT ON VIDEO & DVD
• FEATURE PRESENTATION

Variant : On the "COMING SOON" variant, sometimes the words may be on top of each other and in a different font.

Technique : CGI animation.

Availability : Seen on international Paramount Home Entertainment releases from 1999-2003. Examples include Star Trek: Voyager and Rugrats videos.

Editor's Note : On the "COMING SOON" variant, why are they not more specific?

Available to Own on Video

Available to Rent on Video

Available to Own on Video and DVD

Available to Rent on Video and DVD

Coming Soon

Feature Presentation

• AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO
• AVILABLE TO RENT ON VIDEO
• AVAILABLE TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD
• AVAILABLE TO RENT ON VIDEO AND DVD
• Feature Presentation: Inside the projector where the warning screen and bumpers of the time took place, there is the filmstrips with different film symbols on it and they have many cuts of the filmstrip in sync with the music. As they fade to the close up of the filmstrip they zoom in till the entire filmstrip flashes and then cut to black.

Technique : A combination of live-action and CGI filmstrip animation and footage.

Audio : The jazz/piano music from the warning screen, with the projector as background noise.

Audio Variant : For the Feature Presentation bumper, the music is shortened and the projector noises are added in the background.

Availability : Seen on international Paramount Home Entertainment releases from 2003-2006 like Clockstoppers , The Core , Action Man: X Missions , SpongeBob SquarePants: Lost in Time , SpongeBob Squarepants: Tide & Seek , and Rugrats Go Wild! .

Editor's Note : Same as above. In addition, due to a lack of feature presentation text, some have been left unsure what the FP bumper is.

2006-present

Visuals : On a dark blue background are the words, " Coming Soon " in an Arial font. Below it are the smaller words, 'PRESS MENU ON YOUR REMOTE TO GO TO THE MAIN MENU'.

Availability : Appears on many UK DVDs released by Paramount Home Entertainment and DreamWorks Home Entertainment from 2006-2012, like Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging , Charlotte's Web , Little Fockers , Norbit , Iron Man 2 , SpongeBob SquarePants: Friend or Foe? , Blades of Glory , Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues , Super 8 and The Spiderwick Chronicles , among others. This was also seen on a Mexican DVD of Babel .

Editor's Note : Same as above.

Visuals : On the same background as the German Paramount warning screen, the text "Demnascht auf Video" squeezes into view.

Technique : 2D computer animation.

Audio : A two-note ethereal synth tune.

Availability : This was found on a German VHS of Mission: Impossible II .

Paramount Home Media Distribution

• This logo appeared primarily on Betamax releases. This should appear on a few VHS releases from 1979 and 1980 including the first two Godfather films, Saturday Night Fever , Grease , Heaven Can Wait , True Grit , Goin' South , Play It Again Sam , The Bad News Bears (1976 version) , Prophecy and Catch 22 .
• Among the last releases to use this logo were five volumes of Star Trek episodes as part of the "Television Classics" series on VHS and Betamax in Summer 1980 (Those releases are out of print, having been replaced in 1985 by Paramount's single episodes releases, and are hard to find). Other final releases with this logo were tapes of Escape from Alcatraz , North Dallas Forty , and Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman .
• This surprisingly appears on a late 1983 pressing of The Odd Couple (usually, releases printed around that time started with the "Acid Trip" warning screen, followed by the Paramount Pictures logo).

• Seen on VHS/Beta releases of the time, which are not that easy to find, especially since the logo was usually taken off of post-1981 prints. However, since this was on a decent variety of movies, it may help a little.
• Among the releases are Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) , Death Wish , Escape from Alcatraz , Breaking Glass , Friday the 13th , Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Airplane! , Charlotte's Web , Little Darlings , Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown! , Barbarella , Starting Over , American Gigolo , Urban Cowboy and Shogun.
• Some, if very little, post-1981 prints surprisingly keep this logo intact.
• Also seen on certain Hi-Fi re-releases of Paramount's early releases (such as Downhill Racer and Death Wish ) from 1984, and the original Hi-Fi VHS release of True Grit (1969 version).
• Don't expect this logo on LaserDisc releases, as it was replaced with the Laservision logo.

• A black-and-white variant exi sts.
• A rare, slightly longer variant exists, which starts with a still shot of the blue Paramount print logo. After a little over a second, the music starts and the logo animates as normal.
• At the end of an April 1998 Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy) airing of The Devonsville Terror , the animation is slowed down but plays as normal until all there is is " Paramount " and the mountain, whe n the logo freezes in place and the rest of the music is heard. It's unknown if this was used on a ny home media releases of the film, or any others.
• Most Paramount films used the logo used on the film, but most television series (such as Star Trek , with the exception of the 1984 Television Classics Laserdisc release of the two-parter "The Menagerie", which uses no logo), comedy specials (such as Paramount Comedy Theater: Volume 1 ), and licensed material (such as Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! and The Adventures of the American Rabbit ) have this logo.
• It was also on most prints of the 1982 VHS release of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (the earliest prints, from around 1982 to early 1983, are confirmed to not have this), and a 1990 reprint of it retained the logo.
• It is also on the 1992 release of A Dog of Flanders (along with the warning that preceded it), also likely a reprint itself.
• The black and white version can be found on a VHS release of The Untouchables pilot "Scarface Mob" and Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back .
• This was also surprisingly seen on the early 1990s re-release of Strong Kids, Safe Kids , after the 5th logo.
• Other releases that have this include Teen Wolf and Call to Glory .
• This logo, as well as the multi-colored copyright warning, appear on the 1991 VHS print of Toho Entertainment's The Wizard Of Oz (1982).
• Paramount Video would produce 1984 to 1986 episodes of Brothers , a sitcom which aired on Showtime from 1984 to 1989. This would appear on 1984 to 1986 episodes, while 1987 to 1989 episodes would be produced by Paramount Television.

• April 1987-1989: " A Gulf + Western Company ". 1987 releases used the 75th Anniversary variant, while 1988-89 releases used the standard version.
• 1989-1995: " A Paramount Communications Company " with a line above the byline fades in. 1989-90 releases had the byline and line above it in gold , while 1990-95 releases had them in white.
• 1995-February 4, 2003: "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in the 1990 \/|/\CO/\/\ "Wigga Wigga" font) with a line above the byline fades in, again, in white.
• This was used as a de-facto home video logo, and can be seen on every VHS and Laserdisc release from that period -- this also includes television series (such as the original Star Trek ), comedy specials, and third-party acquisitions like Teen Wolf Too and The Garbage Pail Kids Movie . Combine this with its 16-year span, and this may be the most common home video logo period--maybe even more so than any of Disney's logos, or even the next logo!
• Look for either the 75th Anniversary print logo, or the standard Gulf+Western print logo (with no mention of "HOME VIDEO") on the packaging and labels.
• The 75th Anniversary logo plasters over the "Blue Mountain" logo on the 1987 home video releases of Ferris Bueller's Day Off , Crocodile Dundee , Children of a Lesser God, Top Gun , and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home .
• Meanwhile, the standard Gulf+Western version plasters over the 75th Anniversary logo on the 1988 releases of Beverly Hills Cop II , The Untouchables , Back to the Beach , Fatal Attraction , and Planes, Trains, & Automobiles .
• International VHS release of these films (all released by CIC Video, with the exception of Crocodile Dundee ) will likely have the film's original logo intact.
• This was also used on all 1994-2004 Peanuts VHS releases and all Nickelodeon VHS releases from 1996 to 2003. The 75th Anniversary variant was also used on a Showtime broadcast of Hamburger Hill from <a href=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FIdvPN3G0A " target="_self">March 1991</a>.
• It was also seen on the direct-to-video films The Little Bear Movie and Blue's Big Musical Movie .
• Even though this logo was officially discontinued in 2003, this would continue to make unexpected appearances on demo tapes from as late as 2007. Examples include the demo VHS releases of Jakers: Piggly Gets Into Trouble & The Wonder Pets: Save The Wonder Pets , released in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
• Occasionally, this will appear before the opening previews on certain tapes. One example of this is the Paramount reissue of Rugrats: A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do and some other Nickelodeon tapes from 1996.
• It was preserved on Echo Bridge Home Entertainment 's DVD release of Puppet Master 5 and the Mexican DVD of Demonic Toys , each before the Full Moon logo, most likely due to older VHS masters being used.

• May 17-October 16, 1989: " A Gulf + Western Company " (used for only six months that year)
• November 9, 1989-May 16, 1995: " A Paramount Communications Company " (the "Feature Presentation" versions have a different font for the Paramount Communications byline: sans serif)
• June 13, 1995- January 5, 2007 : "A VIACOM COMPANY" (in the same font as the 1990 Viacom logo)
• There was a special bumper used for trailers from 1989 to 1998 or 1999, with the words " COMING ATTRACTIONS " over the heliotrope gradient background, which cuts off after the zoom in.
• On the 1989 re-releases of Sunset Boulevard on VHS (reissued from the 1988 printing) and The Courageous Dr. Christain on Laserdisc (reissued from the 1987 printing), the logo and warning screen is in black and white.
• There is a very rare long version of the Gulf+Western logo where once we fade in, the logo doesn't actually start for a few seconds. Also, once the " FEATURE PRESENTATION " text zooms in, there is a tan screen for a split-second, then the warning screen appears.
• A variation exists where the announcer says "Paramount is pleased to bring you our feature presentation". This was used with all three byline variants, and can be found on Laserdisc releases, as well as VHS releases which have no previews before the film (such as the 1989 releases of the first four Star Trek films, the 1998 release of A Separate Peace , the 2000 release of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut , the 2001 release Nick Jr.'s Imagine That! , any promotional copies of movies released by Paramount (with the exception of Harriet the Spy , The Ghost and the Darkness , The General's Daughter , Coach Carter A Night at the Roxbury , The SpongeBob Square P ants Movie , Teletubbies: Naughty Noo Noo! , Boohbah: Hot Dog , Nickelodeon Super Toons, and the 1998 widescreen VHS release of Forrest Gump , while the full screen version has the standard voice-over). This variant also appears on tapes made and sold exclusively through Columbia House (usually identifiable by the presence of an orange sticker on the cover) On rare occasions, this variation did appear right after previews, such as the 1996 VHS of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and its 2000 reprint, the 2005 demo VHS releases of Mad Hot Ballroom , & Winter Solstice, and a series of four videocassettes sold as part of a 1993 McDonald's promotion, including The Addams Family and Ghost (these releases have the Rank Home Video print logo on one of the spines on the slipcovers for those films and a face label on the tapes with a special red, yellow, black and white color scheme).
• On the " COMING ATTRACTIONS " variant, the announcer says "Here are some exciting coming attractions from Paramount."
• The "COMING ATTRACTIONS" version was only used until the late 1990's.
• The original Gulf+Western variation (which is the least common) made its debut on the May 1989 home video release of Coming to America , and can be found on releases such as the first four Star Trek films , Distant Thunder , The Experts , The Best of Eddie Murphy: Saturday Night Live , Cousins , T he Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! , Major League , Pet Sematary , and Puppet Master , among others.
• The Paramount Communications variation (which is easier to find) debuted on the November 1 989 VHS release of Scrooged , and is also on the 1990 VHS release of Grease , the 1991 VHS and Laserdisc releases of Ghost , both Wayne's World films, the 1993 release of Charlotte's Web , and the 1998 widescreen VHS release of Forrest Gump .
• The Viacom variant is extremely common and appears on nearly every Paramount VHS release from 1995 onwards, starting with the June 1995 VHS release of Drop Zone .
• The final Paramount film to use this logo was the 2006 VHS of the 2005 remake of Yours, Mine & Ours , and the last tape to use it overall was the 2007 screener VHS of Wonder Pets: Save The Wonder Pets! . Some of the last official releases with this logo (besides the aforementioned Yours, Mine & Ours film) include Elizabethtown , Bad News Bears (the 2005 remake) , Four Brothers , and the film adaptation of The Honeymooners .
• On the 1991 LaserDisc release of Apocalypse Now and the 1998 VHS release of Titanic , this logo is not shown at all, it just goes straight to the warning screen, while on the 1997 releases of The Godfather trilogy, the logo cuts to a black screen before the 1995 THX logo, as the warnings are placed at the beginning, separate from the logo.
• The normal version strangely appears on the original 1989 VHS release of Major League and the 1991 Star Trek: The Movies VHS box set (pan and scan version only; the widescreen edition of the box set uses the other voiceover) despite those releases having no previews.
• This makes a surprise appearance on the United Kingdom VHS releases that have any special features at the end of the tape, such as The Italian Job and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life .
• This appears on demo VHS tapes of PBS Kids shows from 2004 to 2006, such as Boohbah . The normal releases just start with the warning screen used on Paramount DVDs.

• Seen on certain 2002 Paramount Home Video VHS releases from the time frame, such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , The Sum of All Fears , Lucky Break , some prints of Vanilla Sky , MTV Yoga , Crossroads , Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music , The Day Reagan Was Shot , Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , My Horrible Year! , the demo VHS tapes of Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat, SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Bash and Hey Arnold!: The Movie , all 3 Jackass volumes, and Rugrats Christmas . Some 2002 releases, strangely, such as Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween , 9/11: The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition , Rugrats Halloween , and the Special Edition VHS release of Rat Race , have this logo's print version on the spine but do not have this logo on the tape, as they use the 5th logo instead.
• Also, some prints of Changing Lanes do have this logo, but it cuts to the 1995 warning screen instead of the 2002 one (this is probably due to the fact that some prints use the previous Feature Presentation screen instead of this one).

• The 90th Anniversary version is used on 2002 VHS and DVD releases such as Trading Places , SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , MTV Yoga , Dora the Explorer: Move to the Music , The Day Reagan Was Shot , Flashdance , Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (where this oddly plasters the 1999 Paramount logo that the film used), Black Sheep , Vanilla Sky , Major League , Damaged Care , Bleacher Bums , My Horrible Year! , all 3 Jackass volumes, and Rugrats Christmas .
• The standard version is used on almost every Paramount VHS released from 2003 onwards. It also appears on the European versions of SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies and Halloween .
• The standard version plasters the 90th Anniversary variant of the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo on the 2003 VHS releases of Extreme Ops , The Wild Thornberrys Movie , Star Trek: Nemesis , Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure , and The Hours .

• It's seen on many post-2003 DVD releases released by the company, starting with the 2003 DVD release of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown (even though the print logo on the cover has "90th Anniversary" tacked on to it).
• This logo was seen on DVD releases of Paramount Television -owned series from 2003 to 2006 (when the rights went to CBS Home Entertainment after Viacom and CBS Corporation became separate companies), such as the 2004 releases of season 1 of Happy Days , and season 1 of The Andy Griffith Show and the 2005 release of season 2 of the latter.
• After 2004 on Nickelodeon TV shows on DVD, this logo doesn't show up.
• Some DVD releases have "90th Anniversary" added on to this logo's print version, they just contain the normal logo. Examples of this are the 2002 DVD releases of SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories , Flashdance , Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , Black Sheep , Vanilla Sky , and Trading Places . This logo continued to be used until 2019, as seen on such releases as Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown , Project Almanac , Boyhood , and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water , The Gambler (the Mark Wahlberg version), and Interstellar , even though Paramount Pictures debuted a new logo in 2011.
• The last release to use this logo was Instant Family, released on March 5, 2019.

• It was also seen on Paramount HD-DVD releases from 2006 to 2008, such as Four Brothers and The Italian Job (2003).
• Starting sometime in 2007, Paramount's high definition releases were being exclusive to HD-DVD.
• When Toshiba announced they would discontinue HD-DVD, Paramount Home Media Distribution, like all other home media companies, became Blu-ray only.
• Their first film on Blu-ray since HD-DVD's discontinuation was The Spiderwick Chronicles .
• This logo can be found on releases with the print version of this logo on the box art.
• It was also found on the 2008 Blu-ray release of Last Holiday , in which the print logo was absent on the box art, meaning this logo is still in use, but no longer a has print counterpart.
• This logo does not appear on UHD 4K Blu-ray Discs, as they use the 2011-present film logo.
