Columbia Pictures: Difference between revisions

* 2006-2014: Starting with ''The Holiday'', released on December 8, 2006, the logo was given enhancements to better resemble the 2001 [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo and Michael J. Deas' original artwork of the logo. The Torch Lady's hand is also in a different pose in which her finger is at the tip of the torch. The sky is also darker, and the "COLUMBIA" text is more {{color|silver}} and is slightly off-center. Trailers and TV spots, however, continued to use the 1993 version of the logo until 2008. On ''The Holiday'', the logo is seen already formed; the fully animated variant debuted on ''Ghost Rider'', as between those two films, the 1993 version was still used until ''The Messengers''; and additionally came back for a one-time revival with ''Little Women'' (2019). Outside the US, the original logo was used in various Brazilian releases co-produced and distributed by Sony even after the enhanced logo premiered, such as in ''Saneamento Básico: O Filme'' (2007), ''Chico Xavier'' (2010), and ''Tainá: A Origem'' (2013).

* 2014-2022: Starting with ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', released on May 2, 2014, the logo is preceded by the then-new [[Sony Entertainment|Sony motion picture logo]]. After the Sony logo zooms in, a shot of blurry parting clouds is seen with a very bright light between them. The light gets brighter until the clouds part, then it fades to the traditional zoom out from the torch. This version's last original appearance was in ''Escape Room: Tournament of Champions'', and the last release to use this logo was ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'' (albeit as a variant).

* 2021-2023: Starting with ''Venom: Let There Be Carnage'', released on October 1, 2021, the preceding Sony motion picture logo now has a new animation, which is based on the brand identity it has used since May 19, 2021. After that, the Columbia logo is shown as above, but the parting clouds at the start have a sharper look to compliment the new Sony logo. This version's last appearance was on US theatrical prints of ''Devotion'' (home media releases were by [[Paramount Home Entertainment|Paramount]], and thus use [[Paramount Pictures|that studio]]'s logo instead). This later made a surprise re-appearance on ''The Equalizer 3'', released on September 1, 2023.

* 2022-: Starting with theatrical prints of ''Bullet Train'', released on August 5, 2022, the Sony logo plays as normal, but the clouds that were normally in the transition to the Columbia Pictures logo are replaced by those in grey and a red sun is seen; the torch's light rays are redone as well. This version later made its digital and home media debut on ''Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile''.
