If you didn\u2019t know Paramount Global is set to merge with Skydance<\/a>, then the logo included in their recent investor presentation<\/a> would like to share an important update. Under its traditional mountain and stars, it shouts PARAMOUNT, using the all-caps styling and arched text of the Skydance logo instead of a more gently whispered Paramount.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s… not good. But, like the very bad Warner Bros. Discovery logo<\/a> that appeared in 2021 when their merger was announced but disappeared by the time the deal closed a year later, it\u2019s unlikely this is the final version of whatever redesign Paramount might cook up. If and when the deal gets done, the logo at that time probably<\/em> won\u2019t look like some poor shmoe had to jam out a quick synergistic symbol twenty minutes before an investor presentation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paramount\u2019s quick symbolic redesign is a clear nod to the Skydance logo.<\/em><\/figcaption>Images: Paramount \/ Skydance<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The graphic announcing Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s new name (left) was bad, but the eventual logo (right) was more sensible.<\/em><\/figcaption>Images: Warner Bros. Discovery<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Disney Plus logo didn\u2019t survive the Hulu transition.<\/em><\/figcaption>Images: Disney<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ve been seeing some version of Paramount\u2019s logo in front of films for four decades. Movies that I bonded over with people I cherished or escaped into when life was too hard to deal with. Those images end up tied to that logo screen, then both to whatever sentimental experience I had watching them. It\u2019s like visual comfort food. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
