* The logo's most recent overhaul was undertaken during this era when Sony Corporation of Japan (which bought Columbia on November 8, 1989) commissioned illustrator Michael J. Deas to paint a new version of the Torch Lady. The result, based on Deas' sessions with Mandeville, Louisiana homemaker Jenny Joseph, who posed for him with a makeshift robe and torch, was a taller, slimmer Columbia Torch Lady with lighter, curlier hair and a dimmer torch. Rather than use Joseph's face however, Deas constructed a composite face made up of a couple of computer-generated features. Deas' artwork, created in 1992, first debuted on March 2 of that year and was featured in the [[Columbia Pictures Television]] and [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]] identities prior to this logo's appearance. | * The logo's most recent overhaul was undertaken during this era when Sony Corporation of Japan (which bought Columbia on November 8, 1989) commissioned illustrator Michael J.

* There is a slight error in the enhanced versions (at the six-second mark in the logo itself, 20-second mark with the Sony logo preceding it), as the camera zooms out; on the right side of the screen, part of the lower blue section is left unobscured by the clouds. | * There is a slight error in the enhanced versions (at the six-second mark in the logo itself, 20-second mark with the Sony logo preceding it), as the camera zooms out; on the right side of the screen, part of the lower blue section is left unobscured by the clouds. | ||
