* Starting with the release of ''The Juror'', released on February 2, 1996, "{{color|#FFA500|'''a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company'''}}" appears on the bottom, being slightly off-center. When it debuted, the byline is chyroned in cheaply and is a lot bigger and wider than the proportion of the "COLUMBIA" name and the pedestal. Starting with ''The Craft'', released on May 3, 1996, it is way smaller, narrow, and fades in. However, some post-1996 films such as ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'', ''Wild Things'', ''Dance with Me'', and John Carpenter's ''Vampires'' may have this logo without the byline, while trailers and TV spots continued to use the bylineless version of the logo until 1999 for unknown reasons. The last film to use this byline was ''Captain Phillips'', released on October 11, 2013.

* In late 2013, the byline was shortened to "{{color|#FFA500|'''a Sony Company'''}}", with the {{color|orange}}-{{color|gold}} color of the previous byline changed to a {{color|brown|bronze}} and is properly centered. This byline debuted on ''American Hustle'' (US prints only and only appears at the end, the film itself uses the 1976 logo), US prints of ''The Monuments Men'', and the official trailers for ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' and ''22 Jump Street''.

'''Closing Variants:'''
* The superimposed closing variant features the Torch Lady (and the cloud background) placed inside a rectangular box. The torch and the cloud background overlap the top of the box. To the left of the logo are the words "COLUMBIA PICTURES" (in the same Bank Gothic font as the previous logo), with "COLUMBIA" over "PICTURES". The phrase below the text reads "A COLUMBIA PICTURES RELEASE" or "RELEASED BY" (both in the small-caps format) above the logo with the SPE byline underneath the logo. On some movies such as ''Stuart Little'', the animated short ''Early Bloomer'', ''Hollywood Homicide'', and ''13 Going on 30'', the SPE byline is smaller, more spaced out, and is in a different font. Depending on the credits, the logo and the text may vary in color. Starting with ''American Hustle'', the byline was shortened to "'''a Sony Company'''", though the older SPE byline made a surprise appearance on ''Pixels'', released on July 24, 2015.

* One early closing variant featured the boxed Torch Lady logo at center, with "COLUMBIA PICTURES" and the SPE byline below one another. Sometimes, the text and byline are smaller and the logo is bigger to fit the width of the text. There is a version where the logo is inverted and no SPE byline appeared on ''Warriors of Heaven and Earth'' in 2003 and ''Kung Fu Hustle'' in 2004 and also seen on some films like ''Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway'' and ''The Mitchells vs. the Machines'' with Sony byline. Beginning with ''Life'' in 2017, a revised version of this variant is used. Here, the text and byline are larger.
