Paramount Pictures' "Old Macdonald Had A Farm" variant???

Does anybody have the Paramount logo that opened and closed the Famous Studios musical sing-along cartoon "Old MacDonald Had A Farm"? It was available on older prints of a UAV public domain videotape of the same name. it is not available on the internet, and the Dailymotion version has the 1947-1949 fake end title plastered over it in the beginning. I am not talking about the Dailymotion version uploaded by iToons. The variant was plastered by NTA in more copies than the Paramount version, but it is rare. Some think there was no logo used, but actually, if you freeze-frame a DVD verision of an NTA print, you can see they were so sloppy that the mountain hasn't completely dissolved.


For the logo hunt, I vaugley remember it had dark-blue BG, and it was medium-large size, much like how all the Paramount films had the mountain logos sized. Someone told me it was snowcapped, but some cartoons from the same season had the mountain red.

It may have been a rare varaition only used in the holiday season of '45, or it could have been different color quality due to the condition of the print, I'm not sure.

But if you have this logo, please upload it on the site. The verision from Dailymotion user iToons is fake, so don't be confused with the real thing. One way to tell if it's the real version that it dissolves slowly and natrually rather than jumpcuts.

But if you have this cartoon with the complete original titles and sing-along number, please upload this logo.

On a side note, if you have the cartoon itself, then you can upload it too on a video-sharing site. It's public domain and a certian company that owns it doesn't care.
Do you find this valuable?
