'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen on Frank Capra's ''It Happened One Night'' (1934). Also can be seen on ''The Three Stooges'' releases on DVD. Can still be seen on reruns of 1934-1936 ''Three Stooges'' shorts on IFC, AMC, and Antenna TV. It can also be found on TCM and Sony Movie Channel. Don't expect this to appear on original prints of Walt Disney's ''Mickey Mouse'' and ''Silly Symphonies'' cartoons from 1930-1932, as Columbia only distributed those shorts. The textless version can be seen on some ''Three Stooges'' shorts.

'''Legacy:''' A beautiful homage to the 1936 logo that has been in use for around 30 years, thanks to the well-crafted animation. However, some believe this logo is becoming stale nowadays and needs an update, especially as the studio's 100th anniversary approaches in 2024. Regardless, the longevity of this logo seems to mirror the longevity that the 1936-1976 logo had.
