There is a myth that the Paramount mountain served as an inspiration to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry for his IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) motif, which was represented by a circular light/halo over a mountain. I don't know how true this is or if it's just a coincidence, but the similarity of both symbols is something to note. |

Wikipedia notes that "Roddenberry was fond of circle-and-triangle designs," and the first episode with the symbol was shortly after Desilu Productions was bought by Gulf+Western and became Paramount Television, so it's not implausible. |
