*Starting with the release of ''The Craft'' on May 3, 1996, "{{font color|#FFA500|'''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'', ''Wild Things'', ''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, for unknown reasons. 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 in 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 "{{font color|#FFA500|'''a Sony Company'''}}", with the orange-yellow color of the previous byline changed to a bronze and is properly centered. 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 and is properly centered.

* On films produced in 2.39:1 from 2007-2014, the pedestal is thinner, and the byline is smaller. | |||
* 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. | * 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.

* 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. | * 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. | ||

*The superimposed closing variant features the Torch Lady (and the cloud background) placed inside a rectangular box. The torch, and the cloud BG, overlap the top of the box. To the left of the logo are the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES" (in the same Bank Gothic font as the previous logo), with "COLUMBIA" over "PICTURES". The phrase below the text reads "A COLUMBIA PICTURES RELEASE" or "RELEASED BY" (both in the small-caps format) above the logo with the SPE byline underneath the logo. On some movies such as ''Stuart Little'', the animated short ''Early Bloomer'', ''Hollywood Homicide'', and ''13 Going on 30'', the SPE byline is smaller, more spaced out, and in a different font. Depending on the credits, the logo and the text may vary in color. Usually, it is in color white, but some movies (such as on ''13 Going on 30'', wherein the logo is {{font color|magenta|hot pink}}, and on ''50 First Dates'', wherein the logo is {{font color|skyblue|periwinkle blue}}) have this in any color. Starting with ''American Hustle'', the byline was shortened to "'''a Sony Company'''", though the older SPE byline made a surprise appearance on ''Pixels'', released on July 24, 2015. | *The superimposed closing variant features the Torch Lady (and the cloud background) placed inside a rectangular box.

*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. There is a version where the logo is inverted and no SPE byline appeared on ''Kung Fu Hustle'' in 2004.

'''FX/SFX:''' The torch shining and the zoom out, as well as the transition from the Sony logo starting in 2014. During the early years of the usage of the byline "'''a Sony Company'''", the byline and logo fade out at the same time. Starting in 2016, as the logo fades out, parts of the Sony byline dim out and later fade out completely, much like the 1992 [[Columbia Pictures Television|CPT]] logo. | '''FX/SFX:''' The torch shining and the zoom out, as well as the transition from the Sony logo starting in 2014.
