Logo Variations - Columbia Pictures

Logo descriptions by Sean Beard, Matt Williams, Nicholas Aczel, Internet Movie Database and others.Images, up-to-date and design by Eric S. among othersThese are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Columbia Pictures.The Criminal Code and Ten Cents a Dance (1931): The 1928 logo is shown without the company name. The practice of showing the Columbia logo sans company name predates the variations seen on Cowboy, Under the Yum Yum Tree, Good Neighbor Sam and Flight of the Doves._______________________________________________________________________________________Gun Fury (1953): The logo is shown in a greenish-brown tint. Also, the Torch Lady's pedestal doesn't extend to the bottom of the screen, making it look like she's floating!<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Gun Fury" height="230" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/1yaO419q4paXOMbHXFw1gA23671/GW304H230" title="Columbia Pictures - Gun Fury" width="304"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Zarak (1956): The logo is a still painting. In addition, the "COLUMBIA" text is slightly larger and more spaced out than the standard logo and there are clouds below the pedestal.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures (1956)" height="237" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/202c13adee96756112b3ff35fe0696cb/GW554H237" title="Columbia Pictures (1956)" width="554"/>____________________________________________________________________________________Cowboy (1958): The logo has no company name at the beginning of the film. The standard version appears at the end.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - Cowboy" height="230" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/zoH2ptb07ltLmFk862jyYA994352/GW406H230" title="Columbia - Cowboy" width="406"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Mouse That Roared (1959): The Torch Lady looks down and sees a mouse at her feet on the pedestal. The Torch Lady leaves her pedestal, leaving her torch behind. At the end of the film, you can see her rushing up the stairs of the pedestal, grabbing her torch again.<img align="bottom" alt='Columbia logo from "The Mouse that Roared"' height="233" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/FoB0cKO3sxjwm3ff54gpag10209/GW349H233" title='Columbia logo from "The Mouse that Roared"' width="349"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Three Stooges Meets Hercules (1962): The 1936 Torch Lady is on the left side on a black background. The text "COLUMBIA PICTURES PRESENTS" is on the right side. The logo cross-fades to a statue of Norman Maurer, the son-in-law of Moe Howard of The Three Stooges as he holds a stick of dynamite. The text "A NORMANDY PRODUCTION" is on the left side. The sparks are flowing from the dynamite and the dynamite later explodes, leaving the lower legs and the pedestal on the statue. The text "FILMED IN GLORIOUS BLACK AND WHITE" fades in above.<img align="bottom" alt="Normandy Productions (1962)" height="228" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/EasjvnC7k4fbCedzoe1-Qw486393/GW366H228" title="Normandy Productions (1962)" width="366"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Zotz! (1962): We start with a black & white version of the 1950s logo with William Castle sitting on a director's chair in the bottom-right corner of the screen. William gets out of his chair and says "Zotz!" The Torch Lady replies by asking "Zotz? What's Zotz?" After that, we fade to the opening credits of the movie. At the end of the movie, the black & white version of the 1950s logo is shown, but the Torch Lady says "Zotz all!"<img align="bottom" alt="Logo Variations - Columbia Pictures - CLG Wiki" height="266" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/SiiEAgdt74ABaFAgkT9jkg231596/GW360H266" title="Logo Variations - Columbia Pictures - CLG Wiki" width="360"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Lawrence of Arabia (1962): The logo is merely a still painting. The light from the torch doesn't flicker and the clouds aren't as billowy. This was created especially for the film because there was no 70mm version of the logo in existence, and this variation was, at one point, plastered with the standard version for years until the film was restored in 1989.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures (1962)" height="237" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/Wp0iavxCJOitktpvr50Cgg31009/GW517H237" title="Columbia Pictures (1962)" width="517"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Bye Bye Birdie (1963): The Columbia Torch Lady's flame leaps from the torch to form the title of the film.<img align="bottom" alt="Logo Variations - CLG Wiki" height="204" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/24jgiJ05Q-9aWnnuuoUosA9087/GW305H204" title="Logo Variations - CLG Wiki" width="305"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963): The Torch Lady is on an orange background. Like the Cowboy variant, the company name does not appear over the logo, but does appear on a title card that fades in a few seconds later as part of the main titles.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - Under the Yum Yum Tree" height="201" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/WbGj6L42_yhn499UehUD6Q24100/GW364H201" title="Columbia - Under the Yum Yum Tree" width="364"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Strait-Jacket (1964): The Torch Lady reappears at the end of the film for the closing variant, only her head has been chopped off and is sitting at her feet.<img align="bottom" alt='Columbia Pictures (Strait-Jacket" Variant)' height="199" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/s2wmuN4CnOgt-ebJFtkKQg18272/GW352H199" title='Columbia Pictures (Strait-Jacket" Variant)' width="352"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Good Neighbor Sam (1964): Similar to the Under the Yum Yum Tree variant, except the Torch Lady is on a light blue background. Incidentally, both films starred Jack Lemmon and used the same director, so this was no coincidence.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures (1964)" height="220" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/bt_Fm0XJjZrdEi3ICtwBkw173202/GW806H220" title="Columbia Pictures (1964)" width="806"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Cat Ballou (1965): The Columbia Torch Lady transforms into an animated version of Jane Fonda as a cowgirl who is holding two guns and firing them.<img align="bottom" alt='Columbia from "Cat Ballou"' height="181" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/OfmalDz97fXYALBq96jxuA7784/GW272H181" title='Columbia from "Cat Ballou"' width="272"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Trouble with Angels (1966): A halo appears above the "A" in COLUMBIA, and wings sprout behind it. This reveals to be an animated angel hiding behind it, who flies around the Torch Lady and blows out the torch.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - Trouble w/Angels" height="219" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/rcd_q41aL9_XRD8n3kw6YA1080713/GW402H219" title="Columbia - Trouble w/Angels" width="402"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Man Called Flintstone (1966): Wilma Flintstone replaces the Torch Lady and the logo is made in a prehistoric style. Great American Communications edited out this variation when they owned Hanna-Barbera, but it is intact on the VHS release.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - The Man Called Flintstone (1966)" height="291" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/QkO3Y4GBZAgLzPiT13_cFw272936/GW388H291" title="Columbia Pictures - The Man Called Flintstone (1966)" width="388"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Torture Garden (1967): The 1941 logo has the company name appearing darker than usual, and "PICTURES CORPORATION PRESENTS" fades in below in yellow.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Torture Garden (1967)" height="271" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/4HKrO3aMZF7sPWPut-urQQ54473/GW516H271" title="Columbia Pictures - Torture Garden (1967)" width="516"/>_____________________________________________________________________________________________Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River (1968): The 1968 logo starts rotating a few seconds after the "COLUMBIA" text fades in, transitioning into the start of the film.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures (1968)" height="318" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/b759a8144fd708f9aa52a7b48ceaa4d9/GW425H318" title="Columbia Pictures (1968)" width="425"/>_____________________________________________________________________________________________Head (1968): After the end of the credits, we see a psychedelic, almost Art Nouveau looking Torch Lady; slowly the film disintegrates.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Head (1968)" height="290" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/lytpB3f-8Jh-KWPbcZGdyQ13201/GW389H290" title="Columbia Pictures - Head (1968)" width="389"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Oliver! (1968): Same as Torture Garden, but the logo is in sepia tone, and after the giant "COLUMBIA" text fades in, the words "PICTURES CORPORATION PRESENTS" fade in below.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - Oliver!" height="215" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/Gt-CG2svDWyAVH9Yzv-Atw857472/GW502H215" title="Columbia - Oliver!" width="502"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Looking Glass War (1969): The 1968 logo has the words "PICTURES" and "PRESENTS" appear below the "COLUMBIA" name and on either side of the Torch Lady.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - The Looking Glass War" height="215" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/wk4KcYKSGzYuTHA_QajH5w795392/GW502H215" title="Columbia - The Looking Glass War" width="502"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________There's a Girl in My Soup (1970): Same as on The Looking Glass War, though "PICTURES PRESENTS" is in a different font.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - There's a Girl in My Soup" height="252" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/Ri0J60GJ-I4X-dM7rUjPIA1160998/GW445H252" title="Columbia - There's a Girl in My Soup" width="445"/>________________________________________________________________________________________Flight of the Doves (1971): Almost the same as the Cowboy variant, but the clouds appear to be more blue.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Flight of the Doves (1971)" height="239" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/BC-Licsh2FLHxVfMvqgTnA11483/GW472H239" title="Columbia Pictures - Flight of the Doves (1971)" width="472"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Last Picture Show (1971): The 1968 logo is shown in black and white._______________________________________________________________________________________Thank God It's Friday (1978): We see the Torch Lady posed as in the start of "The Sunburst/Abstract Torch" logo. Suddenly disco music starts playing and the Torch Lady turns animated and gets into a few seconds of dancing. Then she resumes in torch pose and the rest of the logo plays as normal.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia - TGIF" height="229" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/6ZVSiwYnFY_K25vxwuo2uw1115485/GW398H229" title="Columbia - TGIF" width="398"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Crossroads (1986): The logo cuts to black rather than fading out as usual._______________________________________________________________________________________The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking (1988): When viewed in full screen, the 1981 logo is seen at a much farther distance than any other 4:3 version of the logo. Here, the pedestal is cut off at the bottom of the frame (made more apparent when the sunburst appears). The logo then fades into a picture of Pippi Longstocking (only showing her eyes, and her hair) on a white background.<img align="bottom" alt="Logo Variations - Columbia Pictures - CLG Wiki" height="302" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/sxB8qiHRnNelaox3ZG3ANA469754/GW401H302" title="Logo Variations - Columbia Pictures - CLG Wiki" width="401"/>______________________________________________________________________________________Little Nikita (1988): The 1981 logo fades into the sky.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures logo (Little Nikita variant)" height="249" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/PRtbCK5Q1WVpba6_FZrp7A40309/GW451H249" title="Columbia Pictures logo (Little Nikita variant)" width="451"/>__________________________________________________________________________________City Slickers (1991): The 1981 logo is a still picture. Only on The Hub's print of the movie.The theatrical version had the logo freeze-framed when it fades-in, then the animation begins. Seen on the Widescreen LaserDisc and 1997 MGM/UA VHS releases of the film, while today it wouldn't be seen on current prints due to plastering by MGM.______________________________________________________________________________________A League of Their Own (1992): At the end of the newsreel within the film, it has the words "COLUMBIA MOVIESCOPE NEWS" with the 80s Columbia print logo on top of the marquee styling between the words. It's historically inaccurate the 80s logo was used, considering the newsreel is supposed to be from 1943.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Moviescope News - A League of Their Own" height="283" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/acDJuJsGcOcBUP7RFFN3Zg838608/GW433H283" title="Columbia Moviescope News - A League of Their Own" width="433"/>______________________________________________________________________________________Last Action Hero (1993): The 1981 logo melts and integrates into the film-within-a-film, Jack Slater IV. The logo is briefly shown, then disintegrates like an old film would do, into the main titles.The movie itself is first one to use 1993 logo.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Last Action Hero (1993)" height="188" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/VHQOd4QABNBVGZirmw4PQA33876/GW472H188" title="Columbia Pictures - Last Action Hero (1993)" width="472"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Age of Innocence (1993): When the music is almost over, the logo changes to a sepia tint and turns into a still picture and the company name fades out.<img align="bottom" alt='Columbia Pictures "The Age of Innocence" (1993)' height="204" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/bb6c121f5c1cfe346f5c04a5d2c8cf3a/GW488H204" title='Columbia Pictures "The Age of Innocence" (1993)' width="488"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Wolf (1994): The already-formed 1993 logo is seen, but the clouds are navy blue. Then, navy blue clouds move from left to right, covering the logo.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Wolf (1994)" height="274" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/9utxIKdxvI71l4rYwS32Rg963031/GW487H274" title="Columbia Pictures - Wolf (1994)" width="487"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Street Fighter (1994, non-US version): as CTFDI (Columbia TriStar Film Distributors International, Inc). After the logo is done when the 1992 print logos of both Columbia Torch Lady and 1993 TriStar Pegasus fades out along with the company name, the background fades to the 1990 Universal Pictures logo's background with Globe and Sky (which was plastered from the US Print) seguing to opening sequence before the globe zooms out to movie's logo and the movie begins.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle" height="248" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/1e3f98598ec6ba250d0dd53f1eaad9b8/GW558H248" title="Columbia Pictures - Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle" width="558"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________The Cable Guy (1996): The logo goes static, just like a television would do.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures - The Cable Guy (1996)" height="244" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/1M4ML_errlm1axbpivL5hA23736/GW444H244" title="Columbia Pictures - The Cable Guy (1996)" width="444"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Men in Black (1997): The 1993 logo fades into a black starry sky, segueing into the opening credits.<img align="bottom" alt='Columbia Pictures "Men in Black" (1997)' height="310" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/62b65e4bb5ecd087614f3a9bd1ea1c17/GW550H310" title='Columbia Pictures "Men in Black" (1997)' width="550"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Go (1999): The logo sequence at the end is abruptly interrupted by jarring clips from a rave scene that segues into the opening credits._______________________________________________________________________________________Charlie's Angels (2000): The logo pans to the right, as the movie starts off in the sky on a plane.<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures "Charlie's Angels" (2000)" height="325" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/54972d6a67e4c2bb319e2ff0d22530d2/GW576H325" title="Columbia Pictures "Charlie's Angels" (2000)" width="576"/>_______________________________________________________________________________________Finding Forrester (2000): The logo's music is played on a guitar._______________________________________________________________________________________What Planet Are You From?
