* 2014-2022: Starting with ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', released on March 31, 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). | * 2014-2022: Starting with ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', released on March 31, 2014, the logo is preceded by the then-new [[Sony Entertainment|Sony motion picture logo]].

* 2021-2023: Starting with ''Venom: Let There Be Carnage'', released on September 14, 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 August 28, 2023. | * 2021-2023: Starting with ''Venom: Let There Be Carnage'', released on September 14, 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.
