* 1981-1990: The standard Columbia Torch Lady (a somewhat less detailed version of her 1970s iteration) stands on a pedestal with her torch against the backdrop of clouds (which are now slightly less detailed and have a {{color|blue|blueish}} tone). The torch then shines into a bright abstract shape, as if in a sunburst, then dims back in place. The words "{{color|#FFA500|'''{{font|Serif|Columbia Pictures}}'''}}" (in the same font as the last logo) fade to the left and right of the Torch Lady as her torch shines.
* 1981-1990: The standard Torch Lady (a somewhat less detailed version of her 1970s iteration, wearing a more {{color|orange}} robe) is seen standing on a pedestal with her torch against a backdrop of clouds similar to that of the previous logo (albeit slightly less detailed and with a more {{color|blue|blueish}} tone). The light emitting from torch grows brighter, and briefly shines in a sunburst shape (a la the previous logo) behind the Torch Lady before dimming back into place. The words "{{color|#FFA500|'''{{font|Serif|Columbia Pictures}}'''}}" (in the same font as the last logo) fade in on opposite sides of the Torch Lady as her torch continues to shine.
* 1989-1993: The logo fades in just like the 1981 version, but the sunburst animation is omitted (however, one can still see a glimpse of the {{color|red}} light from the sunburst if one looks closely). Instead, after a second, the "{{color|#FFA500|'''{{font|Serif|Columbia Pictures}}'''}}" text fades in (a la the 1936-1976 logo).
* 1989-1993: Same as the original variant, but the sunburst animation is omitted (however, one can still see a glimpse of the {{color|red}} light from the sunburst if one looks closely). Instead, after a second, the "{{color|#FFA500|'''{{font|Serif|Columbia Pictures}}'''}}" text fades in (a la the 1936-1976 logo).

* On a 1986 HBO airing and the 1985 VHS of ''Starman'' and the original UK VHS release of ''Flatliners'', the logo's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio was squeezed into 4:3 full screen.

* On 4:3 pan & scan prints of various 1982-1986, 1988 and 1990 films, the logo's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio is cropped to 2.20:1.

* Oddly, the original 1993 video releases of ''A League of Their Own'' and ''A Few Good Men'' have a shortened version of the sunburst logo. The first film fades in as the sunburst retracts, while the second film fades in when the sunburst flares in. Current prints of said films, however, have the standard 1989 logo.
