Background

On December 4, 2019, Viacom and CBS Corporation remerged into ViacomCBS. On February 16, 2022, ViacomCBS was officially renamed to Paramount Global (more commonly known simply as Paramount, after the Paramount trademark introduced in 1912), Despite the name change, The company can be still known as "Viacom".

Logo (February 15, 2022-)

Visuals: The logo uses the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo starting at the point where the stars skim the lake, making ripples in the process. As stars fly nearer to the mountain, the stars, both incoming and encircling the mountain, become two-dimensional and white in color whilst the background fades into dark blue. The mountain then transitions into a two-dimensional form with a cut circle wiping behind it, turning the stars into dark blue; as this is happening, the glossy text "Paramount" zooms out and fades into white to take place beneath the mountain. A reflection of the "Paramount" text fades in below.

Trivia: Like the Paramount Players and Paramount+ logos, this logo may remind some logo fans of the 1975-1986 Paramount Pictures logo, where the background fades to blue after a few seconds and the realistic mountain turns into a stylized version.

Variants:

Still and short versions exist.
The trailer for Knuckles (2024) has the logo in red, Knuckles' color.

Technique: CGI, based on the theatrical logo by Devastudios and animated using Terragen by Planetside Studios and Autodesk Maya, made by Loyalkaspar.

Audio: A shimmering theme reminiscent to an orchestra warmup with three initial piano notes, followed by a seven-note string/piano melody (the last seven notes of the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo theme by Michael Giacchino), finished with a stinger once "Paramount" flies in. Composed by YouTooCanWoo.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the logo is silent or the closing theme plays over it.

Availability:

So far, this logo is seen on the Paramount social media accounts and on the Paramount website.
The short version was first seen in a post on Paramount Global's X account on February 18, 2022, which can be viewed here, and subsequently also appears on a number of other videos on the page.
This logo is also seen on Anderson Silva and Los Enviados.

 ===Background===
-The second incarnation of '''Viacom''' was established on December 31st, 2005 after the original reincarnation was split into two companies: one which retained the original [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom]] name, and another one which was the original Viacom and was reincorporated into CBS Corporation, officially ceasing to exist.

On February 16, 2022, ViacomCBS was officially renamed to '''Paramount Global''', more commonly known simply as '''Paramount''', using the [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] trademark since 1912.

+Paramount Global (2022).png
-'''Nickname:''' "ViacoMatrix"
-'''Logo:''' Just the name "VIACOM" in the 2006 font appearing letter-by-letter as the letters rapidly change between various letters (like the ''Matrix'', hence the name "ViacoMatrix") in a more normal-looking font.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The letters changing to form the Viacom name.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the program or none.
-'''Availability:''' Only seen on the second and final season of ''The Shannara Chronicles''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' It looks pretty cool for a modern-day simplistic logo. For a logo that looks simple (which happens to be somewhat of a trend in the latter-day New Tens), its designer must've put some thought into it for once.

+</tabber>
-'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|steelblue|hazy blue-gray}} background, we see the ViacomCBS logo (with a box of the same color around it) zoom out to fit with the background. We also see two {{Font color|lightsteelblue|lighter blue-gray}} triangles zooming out on each side of the screen.
-'''Variant:''' A variant with a white background also exists. The wordmark has blue and light-blue colors. This is seen on a video titled "Why ViacomCBS" uploaded by CBSNewYork on Vimeo.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The logo zooming out slowly.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' 2 drum hits and a loud chord (the end theme of the sizzle reel).
-'''Availability:''' Only seen on a sizzle reel for said company.
-'''Editors Note:''' This logo, much like several modern TV logos, looks rather bland and boring, especially compared to the previous logo. The chord can also be startling to some.

-'''Nickname:''' "The Slide"
-'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background, two texts "'''VIACOMCBS'''" appear on the top and bottom of the screen, with each one forming about three duplicates that quickly disappear, and one on the middle of the screen. The text zooms in as three {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, {{Font color|blue|blue}} and white bars slide in from the left to reveal a white background, with the text being colored after the transition ("{{Font color|blue|'''VIACOM'''}}" in {{Font color|blue|Paramount+ blue}} and "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''CBS'''}}" in {{Font color|deepskyblue|sky blue}}).
-'''Variant:''' There's a variant where the ending is on a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background and the text in white.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The logo shifting in, and the bars sliding.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme or none.
-'''Availability:''' Seen on ''#DanceTogether with D-Nice'', as well as a format sales sizzle reel to ''Jeopardy!'' from the ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group website and a corporate introduction video to welcome [[Chilevisión (Chile)|Chilevision]] into the company.
-'''Editors Note:''' This logo is even better than the pre-merger one.

-'''Logo:''' It's the same as the 2021 [[Paramount+]] logo, except the end result has a {{color|darkblue|darker blue}} background, and the "'''''+'''''" sign is removed.
-'''Trivia:''' Like the [[Paramount Players]] and Paramount+ logos, this logo may remind some logo fans of the 1975-1986 Paramount Pictures logo, where the background fades to blue after a few seconds and the 3D mountain turns 2D.
