For sure it was in use by 1939. The '39 Paramount and Superior catalog featured it on the cover.

I wasn't born then.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

But no blue or red, and barely silver.

Show us a pic of the logo you're speaking of.
The blue isn't ringing any bells for me.

There are differences, but they look very similar to me. I wondered about the blue, too, Eric.

I think they had one with blue in it in the early 90's.

We still haven't heard from the OP yet; I'm not even sure we're discussing the right logo.
