Paramount Home Video

Paramount Home Media Distribution (formerly "Paramount Home Entertainment", "Paramount Home Video", and "Paramount Video") is Paramount Pictures' home media division and was formed in 1979 (some sources claim late 1975). The company owns the home media rights to films owned by Paramount and shows from sister company Viacom Media Networks (under individual labels such as MTV Home Video and other subsidiaries). The company also licenses the right to release material from the Public Broadcasting Service (through PBS Distribution), CBS Corporation (such as CBS Television Studios/CBS Television Distribution and Showtime Networks material and released through CBS Home Entertainment, although CBS Films material is released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Lionsgate Home Entertainment) and several independent studios. They formerly released DreamWorks Animation material through DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment until 2014, when the latter acquired distribution rights to their library and transferred the rights to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. On September 27, 2011, Paramount Home Entertainment was renamed Paramount Home Media Distribution after merging with Paramount Digital and Television. Starting in 2012, the company licensed the home media rights to most of the Paramount Pictures (with some exceptions) library to Warner Home Video and the Republic Pictures library and select Paramount films (although, like the Warner Home Video deal, Paramount still controls some films) to Olive Films. Paramount continues to release licensed material and material from sister companies.

Cheesy Factor
The stars look like white-glowing circles and "HOME VIDEO" is chryoned over "PARAMOUNT TELEVISION SERVICE". You can also see a jump cut to where the Paramount Television Service logo would normally start. This logo decided to base itself off of a logo already cheesy in itself (which explains the aforementioned stars and script font, they were originally from the Paramount Television Service logo). Also, considering the odd "Paramount" script, the logo looks like a Scanimated Paramount logo with "HOME VIDEO" at the bottom. To top it all off, when the stars appear, you can clearly see a ring located where the stars are flying. It's cheesier than creepy, but is a favorite for some people.

Scare Factor
Medium to high, bordering on frickin' nightmare. The dark nature of the logo and the music consider one of the scariest home video logos, along with Walt Disney Home Entertainment (1978-1982). However, as said in the Cheesy Factor section, it's cheesier than scary, but is a favorite of some people.
