When the flash dissolves, the light torch itself appears, as if in a sunburst, against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch: a {{color|blue}} half circle, or a semicircle, with thirteen white light rays in the center and the words "{{Font|serif|{{color|orange|Columbia Pictures}}}}" in a beveled Souvenir Bold font under it. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out. | ||
