'''Logo:''' On a solid {{font color|blue|blue}} background, we see two boxes, the left one contains the Columbia Torch Lady ('90s version), and the right one contains the TriStar Pegasus (again, '90s version over Columbia cloud background). Above the logo, "{{font color|gold|'''COLUMBIA TRISTAR'''}}" is seen, with the words positioned over their respective logos, and on the bottom is the word "{{font color|gold|'''TELEVISION'''}}" and the standard Sony Pictures Entertainment byline.

'''Trivia:''' This is basically Columbia TriStar's home video logo, but "{{font color|gold|'''HOME VIDEO'''}}" is edited out to put "{{font color|gold|'''TELEVISION'''}}" in, the background is solid {{font color|blue|blue}}, both boxes have a very thin black border instead of a regular gold border, and a Sony byline is added.

'''FX/SFX:''' Just a simple fade in and fade out or none. On GSN as well as ''Project G.e.e.K.e.R.'', the logo fades out like the 1992 CPT logo, the names and bylines dims out first, then the background and logos fade out, and the names fade out.
