The Torch Lady then slowly morphs into her current counterpart as the black and white elements later transition to color. As the camera zooms back, there is a red arched banner dropping from above reading "SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY LIGHTING UP SCREENS AROUND THE WORLD", and on the pedestal is a red box with the gold, giant chiseled name "COLUMBIA" inside on top, and the small word "PICTURES" below in spaced-out letters. There is also the gold giant number "75" unfolding in between the Torch Lady. This variant's only known onscreen use was on the 75th anniversary home video collection promo attached to most Sony VHS tapes released in 1998 and 1999; all Columbia movies released in 1999 simply used the normal logo. | ||

* There is a scope version each for the 1993 and 2006-present iterations intended where parts of the cloud background are stretched out more and the Torch Lady and the "COLUMBIA" text, along with the byline, are smaller to accommodate the wider ratios. Some films released in 1.85:1 crop out the sides from the scope version rather than matting the top and bottom of the flat version. | * There is a scope version each for the 1993 and 2006-present iterations intended where parts of the cloud background are stretched out more and the Torch Lady and the "COLUMBIA" text, along with the byline, are smaller to accommodate the wider ratios.

* In 2023, a special variant was produced to commemorate the company's 75th anniversary. The logo plays as normal, but as the Torch Lady zooms out, the image becomes black and white, transitioning into a montage of previous Torch Ladies (beginning with the 1st logo) as the word "100" zooms out and encloses the Torch Lady. The words "{{color|#FFA500|'''100 YEARS'''}}" and "{{color|#FFA500|'''COLUMBIA PICTURES'''}}" fade in as the montage continues, ending with the current Torch Lady, whose torch shines brightly as the "100" shines along with the outline of a box. the Sony byline fades in below. | |||
