'''Music/Sounds:''' It begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on the torch, and with the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone. This theme was composed by Suzanne Ciani. Of course, like many other movie logos, this could also be silent or have the opening theme of the movie over it, but usually not. | '''Music/Sounds:''' It begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on the torch, and with the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone.

'''Availability:''' Common. Sony is much better at keeping older theatrical logos on current releases of their films than [[Sony Pictures Television|their TV output]] (which is another story).

Otherwise, all later video releases, DVDs/Blu-rays, and TV broadcasts retain this logo. | '''Availability:''' Common.
