* 1993-2008, 2019: First, we see a ray of light, resembling a sunburst, with a different cloud background fading in a brief second later. The light is coming from a torch, as we zoom out to reveal that a face-lifted Torch Lady, now with a more detailed and realistic look; all of her fingers are now on the torch as she holds it. Once the camera is fully zoomed out, "COLUMBIA", seen in a bold, {{color|silver}} chiseled font, fades in atop the Torch Lady. A ring of light then shimmers around the lady. | * 1993-2008, 2019: First, we see a ray of light, resembling a sunburst, with a different cloud background fading in a brief second later.

Deas' original artwork of the logo. The hand is in a different pose in which her finger is at the tip of the torch. The sky is also darker and the "COLUMBIA" text has more {{color|silver}} in it and is slightly off-center. Trailers and TV spots, however, continued to use the 1993 version of the logo until 2008. On ''The Holiday'', it shows the logo already formed; the fully animated variant debuted on ''Ghost Rider'', as between those two films, the 1993 version was still used until ''The Messengers''; and additionally came back for a one-time revival in 2019 with ''Little Women'' (2019). | ||
* 2014-2022: Starting with ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', released on May 2, 2014, the logo is preceded by the then-new [[Sony Entertainment|Sony motion picture logo]]. This involves the addition of blurry parting clouds with a very bright light between them. The light gets brighter until the clouds are apart and then it fades to the traditional zoom out from the torch. This version's last original appearance was in ''Escape Room: Tournament of Champions'', and the last release to use this logo was ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'' (albeit a variant). | * 2014-2022: Starting with ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', released on May 2, 2014, the logo is preceded by the then-new [[Sony Entertainment|Sony motion picture logo]].

After that, the Columbia logo is shown like above, albeit the parting clouds at the start are slightly modified with a sharper look to compliment the new Sony logo. This version's last appearance was on US theatrical prints of ''Devotion'' (home media releases were done by [[Paramount Home Entertainment|Paramount]] so they use [[Paramount Pictures|that studio]]'s logos instead). | * 2021-2022: Starting with ''Venom: Let There Be Carnage'', released on October 1, 2021, the Sony motion picture logo preceding now has a new animation of it, based on its brand identity used since May 19, 2021.
