'''Audio:''' It begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on the torch, and with the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone. This theme was composed by Suzanne Ciani. Of course, like many other movie logos, this could also be silent or have the opening theme of the movie over it, but usually not. | '''Audio:''' It begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on the torch, and with the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone.

''' | '''Audio Trivia:''' The main instruments appearing on the soundtrack were a small horn section, Suzanne Ciani's Buchla modular (for the "popping" effects) and an ARP string synth (the same model Gary Wright used for his song "Dream Weaver" around the same time). | ||
''' | '''Audio Variant:''' The USSR version has an announcer dubbed in. | ||
'''Availability:''' Sony is much better at keeping older theatrical logos on current releases of their films than [[Sony Pictures Television|their TV output]] (which is another story). In the early days of [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia Pictures' video division]], however, this logo would be plastered by their home video logo (although the "Columbia Pictures" text alone would be seen for a split second, possibly due to poor editing). Otherwise, all later video releases, DVDs/Blu-rays, and TV broadcasts retain this logo. | '''Availability:''' Sony is much better at keeping older theatrical logos on current releases of their films than [[Sony Pictures Television|their TV output]] (which is another story).

* On post-2005 prints of ''Stripes'' (with the exception of the 2021 UHD release), as well as some foreign dub tracks of ''Tootsie'', the 1993 fanfare from the next below is strangely heard.
