Studio logo openings?

Popped in a DVD, the Paramount thing with the circle of stars around the mountain starts in with that sweet drumroll and that martial music that means the movie is starting. Wife turns to me and says, "That music?"
"Make me a ringtone out of that."
I guess I could play the DVD in my PC, capture the sound out and convert it, but now I'm curious and I want a whole bunch of those musics. I started looking around the usual online haunts and realized quickly that I don't know what the hell they're called! MGM has the lion, Dreamworks has the kid fishing off the moon, Paramount has the mountain, etc. etc. -- what are those studio introduction thingies called at the beginning of a movie? Anybody know of any online collections?

Also of note is Alfred Newman's "Twentieth Century Fox Logo." I've seen sheet music, by the way.

You mean like this?
Youtube seems to have them tagged as logos. Combine this with the video downloader plugin for Firefox and Super file converter and you're there with all the logo mp3's for ringtones you ever wanted!

The most familiar Paramount Television jingle, by the way, was written by Lalo Schifrin, whom I believe has a MeFite for a cousin.
