*From 1989-April 30, 1993, Columbia's print logo was featured scrolling at the end of the movies' closing credits. This features the Torch Lady with the "sunburst" from the 1981-1989 variation of the opening logo. The phrase, appearing in the same font as the opening logo, reads "{{font|Times New Roman|'''A Columbia Pictures Release'''}}" underneath. An earlier version of this didn't include the print logo, but rather the text instead. A few movies such as ''Ghostbusters II'', ''Welcome Home'' and ''Year of the Comet'' have the words in a different font (the latter two films did not even feature the print logo, as did ''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'', ''When Harry Met Sally...'' and ''Misery''). This would stop regular use on August 28, 1992, with the release of ''Honeymoon in Vegas'', but this made a surprise appearance on ''The Pickle''. | *From 1989-April 30, 1993, Columbia's print logo was featured scrolling at the end of the movies' closing credits.

*Another one would feature the same closing logo, but would use "COLUMBIA PICTURES" in Bank Gothic font with the SPE byline below. On ''A River Runs Through It'' and ''El Mariachi'', as well as Castle Rock films, the words "RELEASED BY" appear on top. Used from September 23, 1992-May 14, 1993. A variant also appeared at the end of Josh and S.A.M., released on November 24, 1993. In this one, it has "A COLUMBIA PICTURES RELEASE" above the "RELEASED BY" variant, while the movie itself would use the 1993 logo at the beginning. The possible reason for this is that it was delayed; a teaser for said film, which was found on the 1993 VHS releases of ''Single White Female'' and ''Mr. Saturday Night'', had it originally intended for a spring 1993 release, but when it finally came to theaters, Columbia might have replaced the 1989 logo with their new logo, but didn't touch the credit logo. Another example of Sony's poor editing habits. | *Another one would feature the same closing logo, but would use "COLUMBIA PICTURES" in Bank Gothic font with the SPE byline below.

*On ''Sibling Rivalry'', the closing logo is based on the 1981-1989 print logo: it has the Torch Lady with sunburst inside a dome with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''Columbia Pictures'''}}" below. Below that is "A COLUMBIA PICTURES RELEASE". ''Eat a Bowl of Tea'' and ''The Big Picture'' have the "Torch Lady in a Dome" print logo with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''A Columbia Pictures Release'''}}" below it. | *On ''Sibling Rivalry'', the closing logo is based on the 1981-1989 print logo: it has the Torch Lady with sunburst inside a dome with "{{font|Times New Roman|'''Columbia Pictures'''}}" below.

*There are two versions of the Torch Lady print logo. One had a short lady and the big sunburst, which was the one seen inside the dome, but would occasionally appear without the dome. A later version was introduced in 1989, with a smaller sunburst and the Torch Lady appears taller and slimmer and more cleaned up in design. No dome was used for this version. | *There are two versions of the Torch Lady print logo.
