Are the 22 stars in the Paramount logo significant? I.e., is the number 22 special in some way?
The logo originally had twenty-four stars, as a tribute to the then current system of contracts for actors, since Paramount had twenty-four stars signed at the time. In 1952, the logo was redesigned as a matte painting. The current mountain style debuted in 1954. In 1974 the logo was simplified, adopting the design of the then-current television version, and the number of stars was changed to twenty-two; this version of the logo is still in use as Paramount’s current print logo.

Did it ever have 23 stars? When counting today, that is the number I thought I would get.
