The "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|T}}'''" is in the middle of and on a higher plane than the "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|C}}'''" and "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|P}}'''", which slide upwards diagonally to merge with the "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|T}}'''" to form a stylized logo, which looks like a pretzel. On either side of the logo's stem are the words "'''COLUMBIA'''" and "'''PICTURES'''", and below that "'''TELEVISION'''". Underneath that is the byline "A DIVISION OF COLUMBIA PICTURES INDUSTRIES, INC." all in a white bold Eurostile font. | ||

'''Logo''' | '''Logo:''' We see a bright torch light appear against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch light. The light rays recede from the bottom to about halfway with 13 symmetrical white light rays remaining. An {{font color|orangered|orange-red}} semicircle, fades in from behind the rays and the words "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Font color|orange|'''Columbia Pictures Television'''}}}}" appear under it in an {{Font color|orange|orange}} Souvenir font. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out. | ||

'''Logo''' | '''Logo:''' We see the then-current [[Columbia Pictures]] logo, with the lady holding a light torch on top of a pedestal (Columbia, a representation of the USA), in her 1981-1993 incarnation against the backdrop of clouds. The words "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Font color|gold|'''Columbia Pictures'''}}}}" in Souvenir appear on either side of the torch lady, the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Font color|gold|'''Television'''}}}}" underneath in the same font, and underneath that, either the respective company byline or sometimes nothing at all. The woman's torch "shines" after the music ends, and the words also shine lightly. | ||

The word "Television", which is still in the 1982 TV logo style, clashes with the theatrical company name's style. | * From 1989-1992, the actual 1982 theatrical logo was used as the basis.

'''Logo''' | '''Logo:''' We see a still picture of a brand new Columbia Torch Lady (painted by Michael J. Deas, and modeled by Louisiana homemaker, Jenny Joseph; some think it looks like actress Annette Benning) holding a light torch on top of a new pedestal against a cloud background with a {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}} sky around it. The word "{{Font color|silver|'''COLUMBIA'''}}" appears in giant chiseled {{Font color|silver|silver}} letters behind her at the very top, similar to the classic Columbia Pictures logo from 1936-1976. Underneath the lady are the words "'''COLUMBIA PICTURES TELEVISION'''", or until 1996, "'''COLUMBIA PICTURES TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION'''" (in the Bank Gothic Condensed Bold font) and underneath that is the byline "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company". | ||
'''Trivia''': The painting was originally made in 1991 by Michael J. Deas and made its debut in 1992. | '''Trivia''': The painting was originally made in 1991 by Michael J. Deas and made its debut in 1992. | ||
