*In 1999, the company celebrated its 75th anniversary. The beginning of the logo started off with the 1936 logo of Columbia Pictures in black & white, leaving the 1993 cloud background intact. The Torch Lady then slowly morphs into the current Torch Lady as the effects from black & white later turn to color. As the camera zooms back, we see a red arched banner dropping from above saying "SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY LIGHTING UP SCREENS AROUND THE WORLD" and the Torch Lady standing on the pedestal, where we see a red box with the gold, giant chiseled name "COLUMBIA" inside on top, and the small word "PICTURES" below in spaced-out letters. We also see the gold giant number "75" unfolding in between the Torch Lady. | * In 1999, the company celebrated its 75th anniversary.

*There is one version where the left and right sides of the cloud background are stretched out more and the Torch Lady and the "COLUMBIA" text, along with the byline, are zoomed out a little. | * There is one version where the left and right sides of the cloud background are stretched out more and the Torch Lady and the "COLUMBIA" text, along with the byline, are zoomed out a little. | ||
*At the end of ''Black Hawk Down'', the logo zooms out to a much further distance than usual, revealing the bottom of the cloud background below the pedestal. This is because the film was shot in Super 35 1.66:1 negative ratio, and framed for 2.39:1 scope. This variant is seen on 4:3 prints of the film, which exposes more vertical information that was not meant to be seen. This variant can also be found on a trailer for ''Erin Brockovich'' (2000). | * On a Warner Home Video VHS of ''The Shawshank Redemption'', the logo starts a second in. | ||
*On a few Columbia Pictures licensed video games, such as ''Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime'' and ''The Smurfs'', the print version, seen on most DVD covers of Columbia films, appears on a white background, with the text in black (as with Columbia Pictures Television) and the byline below the stacked words. | * There is a variation of the 2014-present logo (used since mid-2016) where the Sony byline stays on-screen for a split-second longer before fading out if one looks closely. This version first appeared on ''The Shallows'', and can be seen on other films such as ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'', ''Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle'', ''Venom'', ''Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween'', and ''Charlie's Angels'' (2019), among others. | ||
*After the end credits of ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'', the logo is still and the print logo is replaced. | * On 4:3 prints of ''The Remains of the Day'', the logo zooms out to a much farther distance, but it's positioned in a way in order to not show the cloud background below the pedestal. | ||
