* 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.
* Starting with ''The Shallows'' in 2016, the Sony byline stays on-screen for a split second longer before fading out.
* 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.

* 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 the ''Open Season'' short "Boog & Elliot's Midnight Bun Run" and ''The ChubbChubbs Save Xmas'', the first half of the [[Sony Pictures Animation]] logo music can be heard during the logo, before the Columbia logo cuts into the mentioned logo as the music finishes.

* The 1998 alternate fanfare is higher-pitched on some films such as ''Zathura: A Space Adventure'', ''The Pink Panther'' (2006), ''Casino Royale'' (2006), ''The Pursuit of Happyness'', ''Catch and Release'', ''Ghost Rider'', ''How Do You Know'', ''Total Recall'' (2012), ''Open Season'', ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'', some prints of ''Arthur Christmas'' and ''Hotel Transylvania'', among others.
* The 1998 alternate fanfare is higher-pitched on some films.
* There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme, which can be heard on ''Hollow Man'', ''The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'', and at least the Amazon Prime Video print of ''The Pursuit of Happyness'', and others.
* There is also a double-pitched (very high tone) version of the 1998 theme.
* On ''Palmetto'', yet another arrangement of the theme is heard without cymbal hits, ending smoothly with synthesized flutes. This variant was only seen on original Columbia TriStar releases, as current releases remove this logo (prior to Time Warner owning the [[Castle Rock Entertainment|Castle Rock]] library, as ''Palmetto'' is a Castle Rock film, however a recent TCM France airing retained the Columbia logo, which was also in widescreen).

* On the 2000 Region 2/4 PAL DVD release of ''Erin Brockovich'' (and its 2012 reprint), the 1998 theme is NTSC-pitched (as with the 1997 Universal logo's theme). This is also the case on the film's UK VHS release.

* This logo isn't seen on the opening of ''The Star'', ''Hotel Transylvania 3'' (the first 2 and the 4th films have it), ''The Angry Birds Movie 2'' (the first film has it) and ''Wish Dragon'', all of them being films from Sony Pictures Animation, despite appearing on said films promotional materials, but the "Released by" closing logo appears at the end for said films. This is most likely due to the poor receptions of ''The Emoji Movie''. It also isn't seen at the end of ''Vivo'' nor ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'', and the former and ''The Mitchells vs. The Machines'' both used custom variants of this at the beginning, as the [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] closing logo appears instead.
* Don't expect to see these on the SPA films ''The Star'', ''Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation'', ''The Angry Birds Movie 2'' and ''Wish Dragon'', despite appearing on said films' promotional materials, but the "Released by" closing logo appears at the end. This also doesn't appear at the end of ''Vivo'' nor ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'' as the [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] closing logo appears instead.
* A portion of this logo appears about halfway through ''The King''.
