* The 1993 main version has the piano tune emphasized more, and sounds more "stripped down" compared to later iterations. This variant debuted on ''In The Line of Fire'' (the second film to use the 1993 logo). It was used mostly on films from 1993-1998, though it was also used on some 2000-01 films. It is the one usually associated with the "original Columbia 1993 logo fanfare".
