* 1993-2008 | * 1993-2008: First, there is a ray of light resembling a sunburst, with a different cloud background fading in a brief second later. The light is revealed to be coming from a torch, as the screen zooms out to reveal a redesigned Torch Lady; all of her fingers are now on the torch as she holds it. Once the camera is fully zoomed out, the word "COLUMBIA", in a bold, {{color|silver}} chiseled font, fades in, this time much smaller than the 3rd logo and positioned so that the "U" in "COLUMBIA" is behind the torch. A ring of light then shimmers around the lady before the logo fades to black. | ||
* 2006-2014: Starting with ''The Holiday'', released on December 8, 2006, the logo was given enhancements to better resemble the 2001 [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo and Michael J. Deas' original artwork of the logo. The Torch Lady's hand is also in a different pose in which her finger is at the tip of the torch. The sky is also darker, and the "COLUMBIA" text is more {{color|silver}} and is slightly off-center. Trailers and TV spots, however, continued to use the 1993 version of the logo until 2008. On ''The Holiday'', the logo is seen 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 with ''Little Women'' (2019). Outside the US, the original logo was used in various Brazilian releases co-produced and distributed by Sony even after the enhanced logo premiered, such as in ''Saneamento Básico: O Filme'' (2007), ''Chico Xavier'' (2010), and ''Tainá: A Origem'' (2013). | * 2006-2014: Starting with ''The Holiday'', released on December 8, 2006, the logo was given enhancements to better resemble the 2001 [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] logo and Michael J.

* 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 the Sony logo zooms in, a shot of of blurry parting clouds is seen with a very bright light between them. The light gets brighter until the clouds part, 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 as 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]].
