'''Visuals:''' It begins with the familiar Columbia Torch Lady (a less-detailed yellow-toned 1942/1955 Torch Lady), standing on the pedestal holding her light torch against the backdrop of clouds. Then, the picture moves upward and towards the torch as the rays pull in, which shines even more as the picture blurs around it. It then emits a flash that fills the screen. 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.
