*On the ''Open Season'' short "Boog & Elliot's Midnight Bun Run" and ''The ChubbChubbs Save Xmas'', the first half of the [[Sony Pictures Animation]] logo music can be heard during the logo, before the Columbia logo cuts into the mentioned logo as the music finishes. | *On the ''Open Season'' short "Boog & Elliot's Midnight Bun Run" and ''The ChubbChubbs Save Xmas'', the first half of the [[Sony Pictures Animation]] logo music can be heard during the logo, before the Columbia logo cuts into the mentioned logo as the music finishes. | ||
*On some films, the 1998 alternate fanfare is high-toned. Notable films that are being played in high tone on NTSC prints are: ''Zathura: A Space Adventure'', ''The Pink Panther'' (2006), ''Casino Royale'' (2006), ''The Pursuit of Happyness'', ''Catch and Release'', ''Ghost Rider'', ''How Do You Know'', the 2012 remake of ''Total Recall'', and | *On some films, the 1998 alternate fanfare is high-toned. Notable films that are being played in high tone on NTSC prints are: ''Zathura: A Space Adventure'', ''The Pink Panther'' (2006), ''Casino Royale'' (2006), ''The Pursuit of Happyness'', ''Catch and Release'', ''Ghost Rider'', ''How Do You Know'', the 2012 remake of ''Total Recall'', and three early Sony Pictures Animation films (''Open Season'', ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'', and ''Hotel Transylvania''), among others. The high-toned version of all versions of the fanfare listed above can mostly be found on PAL prints of almost all movies by the company. However, the 1998 alternate fanfare is likely to be double-pitched on PAL prints of these aforementioned movies listed. The sequels to ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'' (2009) and ''Hotel Transylvania'' (2012) (except ''Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation'') use the normal-toned 1998 common fanfare instead due to the 1998 alternative fanfare being retired, while the sequels to ''Open Season'' remove this logo due to being direct-to-video. | ||
*There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme, which can be heard on ''Hollow Man'', ''The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'' (likely to be a triple-pitched version on these PAL releases), and at least the Amazon Prime Video print of ''The Pursuit of Happyness''.<!-- may be on other prints --> | *There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme, which can be heard on ''Hollow Man'', ''The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'' (likely to be a triple-pitched version on these PAL releases), and at least the Amazon Prime Video print of ''The Pursuit of Happyness''.<!-- may be on other prints --> | ||
*On ''Palmetto'', yet another arrangement of the theme is heard without cymbal hits, ending smoothly with synthesized flutes. This variant was only seen on original Columbia TriStar releases, as current releases remove this logo (prior to Time Warner owning the Castle Rock library, as ''Palmetto'' is a Castle Rock film, however a recent TCM France airing retained the Columbia logo, which was also in widescreen). | *On ''Palmetto'', yet another arrangement of the theme is heard without cymbal hits, ending smoothly with synthesized flutes.

This is most likely due to ''The Emoji Movie'''s poor reception. It also isn't seen at the end of ''Vivo'' nor ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'', and the former and ''The Mitchells vs. The Machines'' both used custom variants of this at the beginning. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' A beautiful homage to the 1936 logo that has been in use for over 30 years, thanks to the well-crafted animation. However, some believe this logo is becoming stale nowadays and needs an update, especially as the studio's 100th anniversary approaches in 2024. Regardless, the longevity of this logo seems to mirror the longevity that the 1936-1976 logo had. | '''Editor's Note:''' A beautiful homage to the 1936 logo that has been in use for over 30 years, thanks to the well-crafted animation.
