* The 1993 alternate version is reorchestrated, and has additional sections/instruments (such as brass, chimes, synthesizers, and flute sections), and sounds way more powerful than the other fanfares listed here. These sections would become the basis for later renditions of the fanfare. If you hear closely, the percussion (piano and drums) is not as pronounced as the other versions. It only appeared on five films from 1993-1997, however: ''Last Action Hero'' (the first film to use this logo)'', Geronimo: An American Legend'' (although some prints may have the common piano version)'', Little Women, Josh and S.A.M.,'' and ''Buddy.'' Why this fanfare was seldom used remains unknown to this day. | * The 1993 alternate version is reorchestrated, and has additional sections/instruments (such as brass, chimes, synthesizers, and flute sections), and sounds way more powerful than the other fanfares listed here.

* The 1998 common (and most common) version sounds like a hybrid version whose power is between the first and second versions. Noticeably, you can hear new brass sections. It was first used on John Carpenter's ''Vampires'', released on October 30, 1998, and has been the staple fanfare used by Columbia ever since. | * The 1998 common (and most common) version sounds like a hybrid version whose power is between the first and second versions.

* The 1998 alternate version has the piano tune emphasized more, but seems to have the additional brass and chime sections based from other renditions. It also sounds noticeably powerful This version first debuted on Stepmom (released on Christmas Day 1998). It was used in tandem with the 1998 common version and is the version used in high tone variations of the logo. The most recent film to use this rendition, so far, is ''Hotel Transylvania'' (2012). | * The 1998 alternate version has the piano tune emphasized more, but seems to have the additional brass and chime sections based from other renditions.

* All four fanfares have the same ending. Starting with ''Sex Tape'', released on July 18, 2014, extra build-up is added at the beginning of the 1998 common fanfare, 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. | * All four fanfares have the same ending.

However, some believe this logo is becoming stale and needs an update, especially as the studio's centenary approaches. However the longevity of this logo may seem to mirror the longevity that the 1936-1976 logo had. | ||
