* 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]].
