Columbia Pictures: Difference between revisions

* Earlier movies until 1932 would feature the name in a different typeface, and will sometimes read as "COLUMBIA PICTURES CORPORATION" at the start of the film (sometimes also with the word "Presents" below, in a script font), and "A COLUMBIA PRODUCTION" at the end of the film, like on ''The Miracle Woman''.

* Another variation consists of the words "A COLUMBIA PRODUCTION" and "The End" below. It was spotted on ''The Miracle Woman'', ''Platinum Blonde'', ''Three Wise Girls'', ''The Final Edition'', ''High Speed'', ''American Madness'', and the ''Three Stooges'' short "Restless Knights".

* On some ''Three Stooges'' shorts, the logo is shown without the company name.

* A rare opening variation has the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES" on top and "Presents" below. This logo is probably spotted on six films: ''The Pagan Lady'', ''The Guilty Generation'', ''The Deadline'', ''The Secret Witness'', the early John Wayne film ''Maker of Men'', and ''The Deceiver'' (all 1931).

* There is another closing variant that has the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES", with "The End" appearing below, which can be found at the end of ''The Secret Witness'', ''Maker of Men'', and ''Forbidden'' (1932).

* In 2004, [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] released several colorized ''Three Stooges'' shorts; these had the Torch Lady in color as well, and the words are in {{color|gold|yellow}}.
