*Starting with the release of ''The Craft'' on May 3, 1996, "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company" appears on the bottom. It is slightly off center. However, some post-1996 films such as ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'', ''Dance with Me'', and John Carpenter's ''Vampires'' may have this logo without the byline, while trailers and TV spots continued to use the bylineless version of the logo until 1999. The last film to use this byline was ''Captain Phillips'', released on October 11, 2013. | *Starting with the release of ''The Craft'' on May 3, 1996, "{{font color|#FFA500|'''a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company'''}}" appears on the bottom.

*A prototype version of the SPE byline was used on ''The Juror'', released on February 2, 1996. The byline is chyroned on cheaply and is a lot bigger and wider than the proportion of the "COLUMBIA" name and the pedestal. | *A prototype version of the SPE byline was used on ''The Juror'', released on February 2, 1996.

*In late 2013, the byline was shortened to "a Sony Company", with the orange-yellow color of the previous byline changed to a bronze. This version was first spotted on ''American Hustle'' (the variant of the logo to use the 1976 logo in 2013), ''The Monuments Men'', and the official trailers for ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' and ''22 Jump Street''. | *In late 2013, the byline was shortened to "{{font color|#FFA500|'''a Sony Company'''}}", with the orange-yellow color of the previous byline changed to a bronze.

*One early closing variant of such featured the boxed Torch Lady logo at center, with "COLUMBIA PICTURES" and the SPE byline below one another. Sometimes, the text and byline are smaller and the logo is bigger to fit the width of the text. Beginning with ''Life'' in 2017, a revised version of the this variant is used. Here, the text and byline are larger. | *One early closing variant of such featured the boxed Torch Lady logo at center, with "COLUMBIA PICTURES" and the SPE byline below one another.

'''FX/SFX:''' The torch shining and the zoom out | '''FX/SFX:''' The torch shining and the zoom out, as well as the transition from the Sony logo starting in 2014. Starting with ''Charlie's Angels'' (2019), as the logo fades out, parts of the Sony byline dim out and then fade out completely, much like the 1992 [[Columbia Pictures Television|CPT]] logo. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic tune is heard, which ends with a brass sounder. Composed by Jonathan Elias. There are three versions of the fanfare: one that sounds orchestrated that's played by a piano with orchestration, one that sounds more synthesized, and the third, which was first heard on John Carpenter's ''Vampires'', released on October 30, 1998, has both themes mixed in together. All three have the same ending. Starting with ''Sex Tape'', released on July 18, 2014, extra build-up is added at the beginning, to match up with the parting clouds. Sometimes it is silent, has the opening theme to any given film, or music from any given soundtrack. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic tune is heard, which ends with a brass sounder.
