'''Editor's Note''': It's the end bit of the 1981 movie logo albeit slightly modified, which was still satisfactory enough for the '80s. This was the first logo to replace the Embassy logo starting in 1988 on shows from Embassy. Many shows stopped using this logo in 1992, although ''The Young and the Restless'' and ''Days of Our Lives'' continued to use the blue/ivory logo until 1993. This was also used for the first season of ''The Larry Sanders Show'', which premiered in August 1992. | '''Editor's Note''': It's the end bit of the 1981 movie logo albeit slightly modified, which was still satisfactory enough for the '80s.

*On a ''Jeopardy!'' episode aired on December 23, 1993, the logo was seen on a "video clue" question (''not'' a "Video Daily Double") in the category "Logo Ladies." The logo appears to be close-up, there is no text below the Torch Lady and the "COLUMBIA" text is not there. (The contestant guessed "What is Columbia TriStar?" and was deemed correct.) | * On a ''Jeopardy!'' episode aired on December 23, 1993, the logo was seen on a "video clue" question (''not'' a "Video Daily Double") in the category "Logo Ladies."

*On ''The Greatest '70s Cop Shows'', the short Columbia TriStar Television Distribution theme was heard on the pilot of ''Police Woman'' and it was also heard on ''Gidget Grows Up'', and the long Columbia TriStar Television Distribution theme was heard on the pilot of ''Starsky & Hutch''. This was the fact that it was a rushed job due to horrible plastering. The short CTTD theme is also heard on ''The Jeff Foxworthy Show'' on TBS, ''The Dana Carvey Show'' episode "The Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show" on DVD, and episode 5 of season 1 of ''The New Gidget'' on CTV Throwback (plastering the 1982 variant of the 4th logo). | *On ''The Greatest '70s Cop Shows'', the short [[Columbia TriStar Television|Columbia TriStar Television Distribution]] theme was heard on the pilot of ''Police Woman'' and it was also heard on ''Gidget Grows Up'', and the long Columbia TriStar Television Distribution theme was heard on the pilot of ''Starsky & Hutch''.

*On ''Beakman's World'' (1992-1993), the 1988 theme is somewhat distorted by the toy rocket's noises.
