===2nd logo (September 19, 2019-)===

Nickname : "Star Skipper"

Logo : In a forest (or valley, to be exact), we see a girl (named Star Skipper) skip a stone across a lake. The stone transforms into a golden star and continues to fly through the forest and up the hills until we reach a cartoon version of the famous Paramount mountain in an orange morning environment surrounded by clouds. The other 21 stars encircle the mountain and the "Paramount" script in blue zooms out and takes its position. The final star, thrown by the girl, swoops by, forming the word "Animation" in a similar script font below as the star takes its place, followed by the byline fading in below.

Closing Logo : Just the 2020 version of the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo with the ViacomCBS byline. In 2022, the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo became bylineless since ViacomCBS became Paramount Global.

Trivia : This animation studio company's mascot is the main trademark character, Star Skipper.

Variants :
 * When this logo debuted, it is bylineless. A byline was later added to the logo on later promotional material for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.
 * Beginning with the international release of the aformentioned movie by Netflix, the star leaves a trail of golden dust as it reaches to the mountain. Also, the white ViacomCBS byline fades in at the end. This variant is also seen in the Paramount+ print of the said film and showcased in the trailer for Rumble.
 * There is also a version with the ViacomCBS byline in blue. This was shown on a TV spot for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.
 * Since late 2021, the ViacomCBS byline is removed after it became Paramount Global.
 * The 2011 Paramount Pictures logo was used instead on Paw Patrol: The Movie.
