* The 1993 alternate version is reorchestrated, and has additional sections/instruments (such as brass, chimes, synthesizers, and flute sections), and sounds way more powerful than the other fanfares listed here. These sections would become the basis for later renditions of the fanfare. If you hear closely, the percussion (piano and drums) is not as pronounced as the other versions. It only appeared on five films from 1993-1997, however: ''Last Action Hero'' (the first film to use this logo), ''Geronimo: An American Legend'' (although some prints may have the common piano version), ''Little Women'' (1994), ''Josh and S.A.M.,'' and ''Buddy''. Why this fanfare was seldom used remains unknown to this day.

It was first used on John Carpenter's ''Vampires'', released on October 30, 1998, and has been the staple fanfare used by Columbia ever since.

The final film to use this rendition was ''Hotel Transylvania'' (2012).
