Research:Film Institutions - Paramount

Paramount Pictures (Viacom and Paramount Motion Pictures Group)
Paramount Studios was founded in 1916.  It is a division of the American media company 'Viacom'. They work well and often with Steven Spielberg, and this is a major reason for their success. They are consistently ranked as one of the highest-grossing film studios in the world.

The distinctly pyramidal Paramount Mountain has been the company's logo since its inception and is the oldest surviving Hollywood film logo. The logo appeared at the start of many cartoons.

Paramount Vantage is the sub-division of the studio that is responsible for more low-key affairs, such as indie drama and documentaries.
Some of their films include Transformers and Star Trek.
