Paramount Players

Background
Paramount Players is a division of Paramount Pictures founded in 2017 by studio CEO Jim Gianopulos, specializing in films based on "contemporary properties". In March 2022, the operations of the division were folded into the main Paramount banner following the resignation of the studio's head, Jeremy Kramer. However, for the time being the division will remain functional (at least until all of its remaining productions have been completed).

(November 2, 2018-)
Nicknames: "2010s Blue Mountain", "Mount Paramount"

Logo: Same as the current Paramount Pictures logo, but near the end, the stars and text encircle the mountain peak higher than usual and all turn metallic. As this happens, the background turns dark gradient blue and the abstract mountain design from the print logo appears as the word "PLAYERS" fades in between the tip of the mountain and "Paramount".

Later Variant: The logo was slightly reanimated in 2019, which now has the abstract mountain drawing itself in subtly instead of simply fading in, and the shine on the left corner of the "P" in "Paramount" fades in quicker and also fades out. This version debuted on What Men Want.

Other Variants:
 * Just like the normal Paramount logo, a version with less clouds and different light shading on the logo exists.
 * Scope, widescreen and fullscreen versions exist.
 * On Jerry and Marge Go Large, the logo fades out earlier than usual.

FX/SFX: This is pretty much a modified version of the 2011 Paramount logo by Devastudios and animated using Terragen from Planetside Software, with influences from the 1975 logo.

Music/Sounds: The 2011 Paramount Pictures fanfare by Michael Giacchino, or none or the opening theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Dora and the Lost City of Gold, whooshes are heard when the stars fly by and some water sounds are heard when they skim across the lake.
 * On Body Cam, the film's opening theme is heard instead.
 * Otherwise, the logo is silent.

Availability: Current and common.
 * This appears on Nobody's Fool, What Men Want, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Eli, Playing with Fire, Body Cam, Spell, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, and The In Between.
 * Although the 2022 reorganization of the division to Paramount proper raised questions for this logo's future, the logo still appears on films released by the division such as Senior Year. However, now the logo only appears at the start of films.

Editor's Note: This is a neat callback to the 1975 logo, which also featured a realistic mountain turning into an abstract version.
