The text fades into "V * I * D * E * O". The latter fades out too, showing three cubes, in red, blue and yellow spinning to the center of the screen from left, up and right. The cubes stop, as a rectangle with the text "COLOURBOX V * I * D * E * O" in white appears. Eventually, the rectangle with the text disappears, and the cubes fly off screen.FX/SFX: The fading, the cubes moving and reversing.Music/Sounds: Rock music, which fades out at the last second.Availability: Seen on British VHS releases from this outfit.Editor's Note: None.

As it drinks, the water gives it bright colors. we zoom away from the giraffe as bubbles rise from the water hole, until they cover up the screen. The screen fades to black as a white outline of the giraffe appears with rainbow spots.FX/SFX: The giraffe drinking, the water coloring it and covering the screen.Music/Sounds: A slow timpani beat, which is accompanied by a suspenseful violin theme as the giraffe drinks.Availability: So far, this logo was only spotted on Sivas (2014). It is unknown if this appears on the company's latest production Iguana Tokyo.Editor's Note: While the animation looks cheap, the music is soothing.

Big W/Worms logo all appear/zoom in from left to right in quick succession; each one has an ownership byline for that company (Columbia's is "A Columbia Pictures Company"; EMI's is "A member of the EMI group"; and Warner's is "A Warner Communications Company"). After all three appear, the words "Columbia-EMI-Warner Distributors" fade in above, and "Presents" fades in below (both at the same time); the logo then fades out. Music: None. Availability: TBA
Columbia/TriStar Variations

=== Columbia Pictures===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 pedestial, leaving her torch behind. In the end credits, you can see her rushing up the stairs of the pedestial, grabbing her torch again. Bye Bye Birdie (1963): The Columbia torch lady's red flame leaps from the torch to form the title of the film. 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. A Man Called Flintstone (1966): The torch lady is replaced with Wilma Flintstone, dressed as the Torch Lady! Unfortunately, Great American edited out this variation when they owned Hanna-Barbera. Shame.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 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. Journey Through the Black Sun (1984): After the logo is done, the torch lady turns around and zooms out to Earth's orbit, then Helen Little's comment "It is as though a strange presence is among us, taking control" was heard before the credits.National Security (2003): The logo morphs into a map. Big Fish (2003): The logo plays backwards.Hollow Man (2000): The logo turns icy. The Holiday (2006): The Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures logos are shortened and cut to the last few seconds.Open Season (2006): The torch lady's torch flashes to preceed into the Sony Pictures Animation logo.Superbad (2007): A rather neat variation of the 1975-1981 "Sunburst" logo. The byline "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company" is seen at the bottom in the beginning. As the camera slowly zooms into the torch, it disappears. As the "sunburst" is forming, a clock-style transition occurs behind it, turning the background from black to yellow, and after the sunburst forms, several human silhouettes are seen. (The recognizable music wasn't present, however; it just used the movie's opening theme.)Surf's Up (2007, Sony Pictures Animation): The Sony Pictures Animation logo fades in on a white background with snowflakes.The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007): The Columbia Torch Lady is wearing a Santa hat and it's snowing in the logo. This only occurs on TV spots for the film, not the actual feature.Head (1968): After the end of the credits, we see a psychedelic, almost Art Nouveau looking Torch Lady, slowly the film disintegrates.=== TriStar Pictures ===Who's Harry Crumb? (1989): The Pegasus is pink.Look Who's Talking Too (1990): Normal logo, but the Pegasus has been given a voice from Bruce Willis! It's just like Mr. Ed's, and they even throw in a "Willlbur! I'm Flyyying!" response in there.Hawaiian Style (1995): There is no eyes on the Pegasus.Silent Hill (2005): The normal sky background is replaced with fog.
Columbia Classics

Logo description by Shadeed A. KellyLogo capture by Supermarty-oBackground: Columbia Classics is a sub-label of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (formerly "Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment") for classic film releases on DVD by Columbia Pictures. It was also used for VHS tapes and LaserDiscs of archive Columbia releases in the 1980's and 1990's; sub banners included "Columbia Western Classics", "Columbia War Classics", "Columbia Pictures Award Winner" and "Columbia Pictures Heritage Collection".(2000- )Nicknames: "Classic Torch Lady", "Classic-Modern Torch Lady", "Morphing Torch Lady", "Torch Lady DVD"Logo: We start off with the 1942 Columbia Pictures logo. A light starts flashing and we later see a code with a blue and black swirling effect that transforms the 1942 Columbia logo to the 1992 Columbia Pictures print logo and transforms into a DVD disk on a black background. "COLUMBIA CLASSICS" in Eurostile fades in at the top with a shining wipe effect and the DVD Video trademark logo fades in at the bottom of the DVD with a light flash effect from off the letter "D" on the right.FX/SFX: The light flashing, the swirling, and the morphing.Music/Sounds: The sounds of wind blowing, a thunderclap, and computer sounds.Availability: Seen on classic movies by Columbia Pictures on DVD such as The Lady from Shanghai.Editor's Note: The thunderclap could cause a few scares, especially for those who don't like thunderclaps.
Columbia Music Video

Logo descriptions by codyfinke5 and CooleyBoy10Video captures by EnormousRat and Medios, gustys y demás (C-1)Background: This is the music video and DVD division of Columbia Records, a record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment. It was folded in 2009, following the restructuring of Sony Music with the shutdown of BMG.1st Logo(1993-2006) Nickname: "CMV" Logo: Same as the CBS Music Video logo, but under "CMV" reads "COLUMBIA MUSIC VIDEO". FX/SFX: Same as the 1st CBS Music Video and SMV Enterprises logos. Music/Sounds: Same as the CBS Music Video and Sony Music Video logos.Availability: Seen mainly on DVD releases of music-related films as well as titles from Columbia Records artists, like MGM's Pink Floyd: The Wall. It is seen on many DualDisc releases as well, but is often hidden in the bonus features--for example, the logo can be accessed on the DualDisc of John Mayer's Heavier Things by accessing the bonus features menu and selecting the short The Paul Reddy Show.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(2006-2009) <iframe frameborder="0" height="166" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/88166ed229b868890376de4783089bf4eb7538ac" width="297"></iframe> Nickname: "The Columbia Walking Eye"Logo: On a black background, we see a red, 3-D version of the Columbia "Walking Eye" logo, spinning its parts around. Then, the eye zooms out and mends all of its parts together to the left of the screen as a box slowly fades in over it. Then the words: COLUMBIAMUSIC VIDEO in chrome and in the same font as the CBS logo, flickers itself in.Trivia: The "Walking Eye" logo debuted in the 1953, while the current design made its debut in 1961. It's supposed to represent a stylus (the legs) above a vinyl record (the eye).FX/SFX: The eye spinning and zooming out, the text flickering.Music/Sounds: A series of whooshes that end in a grungy, echoing guitar lick.Availability: Appeared on later music DVDs from the company. It also appeared on the Walmart bonus DVD of iCarly: Music from and Inspired by the TV Show.Editor's Note: None.
Columbia Night at the Movies

Logo description by bmasters9Photos byJoeCool85Video capture by Pepsi9072(1988-1993?)Background: Columbia Night at the Movies is the renamed television movie package program (originally called Embassy Night at the Movies) that aired movies from Columbia Pictures and Embassy Films Associates.<iframe frameborder="0" height="178" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/4271eec8d471a0638bb8b8bd22aaef3f0e3d7ff1" width="232"></iframe>Logo: The opening starts with the 1981 Columbia Pictures logo. A bright flash then emits from the torch, and gives the Torch Lady a neon blue aura, complete with neon gold Sunburst (this neon Torch Lady is set up in front of a city skyscraper on top of what appears to be the roof of a theater). We then zoom out from the Torch Lady, and there is a marquee with neon red edging lights on top, bottom and sides (the lights on the sides are pulsating), and flowing lights below the neon on top, and above the neon on bottom. As we move down from the Torch Lady, six gold stars scroll by on the marquee from right to left, and then "Columbia" (in its trademark Souvenir font) scrolls in from the right and stops in the middle of the marquee.Below, as we move further down, "Night at the" appears on a lined whiteboard that lights up ("Night at the" appears in red on this whiteboard, also in Souvenir font). "Movies" is in neon blue-green in an unknown font, in letters that light up one-by-one. Those two parts are bracketed by two tall neon red lights on the sides, with a thin gold neon squiggly line above. Still further down, the word "Presents" is in another unknown font, this one being neon green; pulsating arrow-shaped lights come from each side of it; it has a thick gold neon squiggly line below. Finally, below all the lights is a moving filmstrip bracketed by a neon red line and flowing lights above, and a blue triangular neon light setup below, bracketed by more neon and flowing lights. The filmstrip has in one of its frames the name of the film in a generic font on a dark blue, and what would appear to be scenes from the feature (this could also be scenes from other films from Columbia Pictures). The filmstrip then zooms out to the top of the screen (with the name of the film on another whiteboard below).FX/SFX: Plenty of neon and moving lights, as well as the moving filmstrip; in fact, all the motion in this opening. Music/Sounds: An energetic rock tune that was used before on another syndie movie series, Embassy Night at the Movies from 1983-1988, but with another announcer, John Leader. His opening announcement is...:"Tonight, Columbia Night at the Movies presents the world television premiere of [name of the film being presented, as well the stars, and a short description of plot]."...when the filmstrip zooms out, Leader says:"Our presentation of [name of the film] will begin in a moment."Availability: Extinct.Editor's Note: This was the successor of Embassy Night at the Movies.
Columbia Pictures Animation

Compilation and video capture by TorchLady71(1978)Nicknames: "Torch Lady", "The Abstract Torch", "The Sunburst" Logo: It begins with the familiar Columbia Torch Lady, st anding on the pedestal holding her light torch. Then, the picture moves upward and towards the torch, which shines even more as the picture blurs around it . It then emits a flash that fills the screen. When the flash dissolves, the light torch itself appears, as if in sunburst, against a black screen and as it shrinks, it change <embed align="right" height="207" src="http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/closinglogos/page/Columbia+Pictures+Animation/widget/youtubevideo/-467688568" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="252"/> s into a more "abstract" torch: a blue half circle, or a semicircle, with thirteen white ligh t rays in the center and the words "Columbia Pictures" under it. With the word Animation fades in. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out. SFX: The Torch Lady's torch being zoomed in on, then turning into the Sunburst. Music: The movie theme begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on the torch. With the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone. Of course, like many other movie logos, this could also be silent or have the opening theme play over it, but usually not.Availability: Actually more common than the TV version, as Sony is much better at keeping old logos on video releases of their movies. So you can usually still see the Torch Lady/Sunburst combination on movies from the time period. You can usually see it on cable movie channels as well.Scare Factor: Minimal, this was/is a favorite of many.
Columbia Pictures Italia

Logo description by LogophileLogo capture and video capture courtesy of Eric S.(December 19, 1987-October 14, 1988) <embed allowfullscreen="true" height="182" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/8ca1e7caa3cbf9facde53270e630be73356a0802" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="252" wmode="transparent"/>Nicknames: "80s Torch Lady", "Torch Lady"Logo: It's the same as the 1981 Columbia Pictures logo, but with a few differences. The logo is shown in a red shade (this may be caused by film deterioration). After the sunburst, "Columbia Pictures" appears on either side of the Torch Lady with "Italia" at the bottom. There is a second sunburst before fading out (due to looping the logo back to the beginning).Variant: Another version is seen. There is no red shade and after the fade from the first sunburst, the logo freezes just as the second sunburst is about to appear before fading out. FX/SFX: Same as the 1981 Columbia Pictures logo, plus the second sunburst. Music/Sounds: None.Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on The 1988 film Il Piccolo Diabolo (The Little Devil). The variant appears on the 1987 film Io e mia sorella (Me and My Sister).Editor's Note: A cheaply-done adaptation of the 80s torch lady. You can tell it was just looped, plus the company text is cheaply chyroned on.
Columbia Pictures Pay Television

Compiled by LogophileBackground: Columbia Pictures Pay Television was a division of Columbia Pictures Television that distributed movies to pay television networks. (1977-1986)<img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures Pay Television (1978) Opening" height="248" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/9ZMcURkrFYldYFC9nhoc4w23241/GW330H248" title="Columbia Pictures Pay Television (1978) Opening" width="330"/><img align="bottom" alt="Columbia Pictures Pay Television (1978) Closing" height="248" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/3/c8c3ac46c309fc779007d899d75b2a7e/GW330H248" title="Columbia Pictures Pay Television (1978) Closing" width="330"/>Logo: The second half of the 1976 Columbia Pictures logo, beginning with the appearance of the sunburst and forming into the orange half-circle with the sunburst. After it forms, the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES PAY TELEVISION" with "PRESENTS" below in the same Cooper Black font from the Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment logo fade in below.Closing Variant: Same as the opening logo, except it has "A" and "PRESENTATION" above and below the company name respectively.FX/SFX: Same as the second half of the 1976 Columbia Pictures logo.Music/Sounds: See above.Availability: Extinct. The only two noted instances of this logo appearing was on a 1986 HBO airing of A Chorus Line and the closing variant appeared on a 1980(?) ON TV airing of Orson Welles at the Magic Castle, and as such, would be long gone outside of off-air video recordings.Editor's Note: It says something about the cheapness of Columbia as this was used at least into the mid-80s, seeing as how both the theatrical and TV logos had their newer Torch Lady logo, while the Sunburst was still being used here.
Columbia Pictures de México

Logo description by Eric S.Background: Columbia Pictures de México was a joint venture of Columbia Pictures Corporation with Cinematográfica Calderón. Their films are distributed by Calderón.(1948) Nicknames: "Classic Torch Lady", Logo: We see the lady, this time standing on top of a pedestal with a backdrop of clouds over her, while she is holding her light torch. Much more refined, ethereal and goddess-like, her facial features became less pronounced and she looked away (up and to the right) instead of straight ahead. Her headdress was removed and her hair swept back instead of hanging by the sides of her face. The drape over her shoulder became less-obviously an American flag, the stars on the left shoulder having been toned down in a shadow, and the stripes visible only on the portion of the drape hanging down her right side. "A COLUMBIA PRODUCTION" was replaced with the tall chiseled letters of "COLUMBIA" (which fades in a second afterward) running straight across the top section of the screen, with the lady's torch glowing in front of the "U". A new form of animation was used on the logo as well, with a torch that radiates light instead of flickers. The words "PICTURES" fades in in the same time as "COLUMBIA". Under it, the word "presenta" in scripted font also appears. Closing Variant: We see the same lady, with the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES" under it in the same font, forming an arch. Over it, the words "Distribuído por" appears over it. The torch isn't shining this time. Trivia: The Torch Lady happens to be Jane Chester Bartholomew.FX/SFX: The torch rays shine more realistically in this version. The film is deteriorated due to the film re-conversion to do this logo.Music/Sounds: The opening theme.Availability: Extremely rare. Was spotted on Calderon's Revancha. Editor's Note: This is a unique example of a company editing their logo for international markets, which Columbia did again for their Italian releases.
Columbia Showcase Theatre

Logo description by supersamshmeleeLogo capture by V of DoomEditions by Silversword55, wisp2007, TheMisterFree, Trogga, and thehugetvfanVideo captures by LogicSmash and Pei Pei MusicBackground: On May 29, 2000, Columbia TriStar Television Distribution launched a film-on-television syndication programming block called the Columbia Showcase Theatre. With the rebranding of CTT as Sony Pictures Television (named after Columbia's parent owner) in 2002, the block went dormant before it returned to syndicated television in 2004, coinciding with Sony's music division merging with the Bertelsmann Music Group the same year.(May 29, 2000- )<iframe frameborder="0" height="163" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/e3646e1fd93d804a013a59302949608a3559267e" width="292"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="164" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/96bc6b36434be9ac8624c258022e94b7b6a119ab" width="294"></iframe>Nicknames: "The Blue Robe", "Jenny Joseph", "Rise of the Torch Lady", "Torch Lady From The Waves"Logo: We see a realistically rendered body of water that appears to be bubbling, complete with a sky. A large yellow pedestal then rises out of the water, with a hole in the center that lights up, and the 1993 Torch Lady rises out from the middle of the pedestal while a blue robe flows around. The blue robe causes a scene transition to occur, as we view the spinning Torch Lady from upperhead. Then, we fade to a shot of the giant gold chiseled text "COLUMBIA", in its usual font, flying across, before we fade to a profile shot of the Torch Lady, with the blue robe covering her eyes. Then, we fade to a shot of "SHOWCASE THEATRE", in the Trajan Pro font, flying around, before fading yet again to a back shot of the Torch Lady. As the text flies around, a flash results in a full-panel view of the standard Torch Lady, with the text in its completed positions. The text and lady move a bit as her torch shines.FX/SFX: The steps and Torch Lady rising and the words flying in and taking place. Incredible CGI. Additionally, live-action footage of (presumably) Jenny Joseph for the close-up shots of the Torch Lady.Music/Sounds: A rising, majestic orchestral fanfare, composed by Pei Pei Chung.Availability: It can be found on syndicated airings of some Sony Pictures-owned films such as Stuart Little 2, Under Suspicion, and The Glass House, among a few others.Editor's Note: Some actually like this logo better than the standard movie logo, and it's understandable why, thanks to its incredible CGI and music.

Columbia TriStar Productions (Australia)

Background: Columbia TriStar Productions PTY. LTD. was the Australian division of Columbia TriStar Television.(2000-2002)Logo: It is just the 2nd Columbia TriStar Home Video logo just with "HOME VIDEO" replaced with "PRODUCTIONS PTY. LTD. AUSTRALIA" in two lines. "COLUMBIA" and "TRISTAR" also look more separated from each other. The Sony Pictures byline used on most CT counterparts appears below the logo, most of the time.Variants:The logo can be seen superimposed on the closing credits.There's a variant with a black background, an even more bigger "COLUMBIA" and "TRISTAR", and the only text below the logos is "PRODUCTIONS".FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: None or perhaps the closing theme of the show.Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on Australian TV shows/movies released by Columbia TriStar and might be removed/replaced by any Sony Pictures Television (and its international counterpart) logos on current prints.Editor's Note: None.
