''' | '''Audio:''' An orchestral piece by Dave Grusin. As the horse gallops into view, three low French horn notes play and repeat. When the Pegasus flies over the "T", more enlightening trumpets play and are combined with the trombone. For the logo formation, a proud brass fanfare is heard. | ||

''' | '''Audio:''' A majestic arrangement of the last logo's fanfare, this time composed by Bill Johnson. It starts with an ascending and descending back-and-forth piano glissando, followed by a two-note descending xylophone tune, on the last note, the same six opening notes from the last logo begin. Between the third and fourth notes, there is a delay filled with a four-note tuba tune. The music rises in intensity as we hear more and more instruments come in (including brass instruments and drums), ending in a very majestic fanfare. | ||

* 2015-2020: After the [[Sony Entertainment]] logo transitions to this logo, we see the cloud formations of the previous logo shrouded in darkness, with a cerulean {{color|blue}} background partially illuminated by the bottom half of the screen. Then, a light shines up from the center and the clouds and background brighten, turning into full daylight. The clouds here are pure white and more ethereal in design, compared to the more realistic {{color|gold|golden}} clouds from the last logo. Just as the clouds light up, we see a white stallion gallop out from the glowing light towards us, with the light fading out shortly afterwards. The stallion opens its wings as it runs out, revealing itself to be a Pegasus; once it stops running towards the screen, it stands up on its hind legs, showing off its full wingspan in the process. Once it has done this, the "{{color|gold|{{Font|Impact|T{{small|RI}}S{{small|TAR}}}}}}" text from the previous logo (only more {{color|gold|golden}}) fades in, then the byline "'''a Sony Company'''" from the previous logo fades in after that.
