and which is Hood?...

Thanks. / LT

Hood


Hood little one in back

Cheers...Rob

I can try to help you out the best I can, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks like the Goat Rocks maybe?
This is actually Mt. Rainier the smaller peak on the left side is a secondary peak of Mt. Rainier called Little Tahoma Peak, it stands over 11,000 feet high
Mt. Hood
Looks like Mt. Adams from the east side
This is the South Sister with Broken Top to the right

Mt. Hood as viewed from the Portland area is the one Paramount Pictures uses in its company logo. The logo has been updated and "modernized" recently so it is no longer recognizable but if you watch a movie from the '70s or '80s you can see it much better.

A while back I did some research on line about the Paramount logo because I was curious if it was based on a real mountain, this is what I found:

The distinctively 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. Legend has it that the mountain is based on a doodle made by W. W. Hodkinson during a meeting with Adolph Zukor. It is said to be based on the memories of his childhood in Utah. Some claim that Utah's Ben Lomond is the mountain Hodkinson doodled, and that Peru's Artesonraju[40] is the mountain in the live-action logo. Some editions of the logo bear a striking resemblance to the Pfeifferhorn,[41] another Wasatch Range peak.

The motion picture logo has gone through many changes over the years:

The logo began as a somewhat indistinct charcoal rendering of the mountain ringed with superimposed stars. 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 created by Jan Domela.
A newer, more realistic-looking logo debuted in 1954 for Paramount's VistaVision films.
A stylized version of the mountain was featured in Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. The mountain retained its conical shape but with a red granite tone and a more angular summit under a red clouded sky to suggest the appearance of Mount Sinai for this single motion picture. Its circle of stars faded in with the announcement: "Paramount Presents - A Cecil B. DeMille Production."
In 1968, the logo was modified; the text now read "Paramount" instead of "A Paramount Picture/Release", and the byline "A Gulf+Western Company" appeared on the bottom. The logo was given another modification in 1974, with the number of stars being changed to 22, and the Paramount text and Gulf+Western byline appearing in different fonts.
In 1975, the logo was simplified in shades of blue, adopting the design of the then-current television version; this version of the logo is still in use as Paramount's current print logo.
The visual logo was replaced in 1987 by a newer logo created by Apogee, Inc., with a computer-generated lake and stars. An enhanced version of this logo debuted in 1999.
For Paramount's 90th Anniversary in 2002, a new, completely computer-generated logo was created, with the south col peak of Mount Everest as the basis for the mountain.[42][43] A newer variation of this logo debuted in 2010, with the Viacom byline in the "New Viacom" font.
Not long before the United Paramount Network (UPN) was merged with The WB to form The CW Network, there were plans to re-brand UPN as The Paramount Network, featuring a stylized mountain/stars logo to identify the newly-named network with the studio, but the plans were scrapped. In contrast, UPN's initial logo from its January 1995 launch featured its initials in geometric shapes. The "U" (for "United") was in a circle, the "P" ("Paramount") in a triangle, and the "N" ("Network") in a square, with the "P" triangle being a nod to the Paramount mountain.

How far south? Maybe Three Fingered Jack?

Good find. I know it has been through many versions. I worked there during the Gulf & Western years and was told it was Mt. Hood during my initial orientation.

Looks like Three Fingers with Glacier Peak in the background to me.

Absolutely, no question. I used to do quite a bit of hiking out in that area every summer when I lived in the Seattle area. For those who don't know where it is, Three Fingers is just south of Darrington, a little town about 75 miles NE of Seattle.

I think you are right, I was looking at google earth and that seems to match up. I also found this picture of the Three Fingers... Looks like the same thing to me.



I also found this picture of Glacier Peak from Three Fingers.

As usual, a wealth of information at BCP...thanks all...
and by the way, here is the flyer for a photo show I'm putting together...with homage.

Off the immediate subject…
Just for fun, I showed the pictures to my Dad. At 92 he picked out Mt. Baker immediately said they had a picture about like that in the ward room... he was stationed on the USS Mt. Baker for its Pacific deployment in WWII through about a year after the war ended. He has said for years that he always wanted to meet the SOB that named the fleet ammunition ships after volcanoes! After the Mt. Hood exploded in harbor they had to anchor miles out from the fleet and traveled to and from station without escort. I told him one of my goals is to see where he spent those years and he said he could go another lifetime without seeing Ulithi Atoll ever again.

The pointy one looks like the picture on the beer can, ya know Ranier Beer
