'''Closing Variants:'''


*The superimposed closing variant features the Torch Lady (and the cloud background) placed inside a rectangular box. The torch, and the cloud BG, overlap the top of the box. To the left of the logo are the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES" (in the same Bank Gothic font as the previous logo), with "COLUMBIA" over "PICTURES". The phrase below the text reads "A COLUMBIA PICTURES RELEASE" or "RELEASED BY" (both in the small-caps format) above the logo with the SPE byline underneath the logo. On some movies such as ''Stuart Little'', the animated short ''Early Bloomer'', ''Hollywood Homicide'', and ''13 Going on 30'', the SPE byline is smaller, more spaced out, and in a different font. Usually, the color is white, but on some films, they are colored. Example: On ''13 Going on 30'', the logo is {{font color|magenta|hot pink}}, while on ''50 First Dates'', the logo is {{font color|skyblue|periwinkle blue}}. Starting with ''American Hustle'', the byline was shortened to "a Sony Company", though the older SPE byline made a surprise appearance on ''Pixels'', released on July 24, 2015.

*One early closing variant of such featured the boxed Torch Lady logo at center, with "COLUMBIA PICTURES" and the SPE byline below one another. Sometimes, the text and byline are smaller and the logo is bigger to fit the width of the text. Beginning with ''Life'' in 2017, a revised version of the this variant is used. Here, the text and byline are larger.
