'''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:''' We see a bright torch light appear against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch light.

* This logo is actually the second half of the 1976 [[Columbia Pictures]] movie logo and, aside from a different color designation for the abstract torch, the footage also seems to be played faster than its theatrical counterpart. | * This logo is actually the second half of the 1976 [[Columbia Pictures]] movie logo and, aside from a different color designation for the abstract torch, the footage also seems to be played faster than its theatrical counterpart. | ||
* Depending on the quality of the film print or telecine, the logo would appear slightly {{Font color|red|red}}. It should be noted that despite this, orange was the designated color for Columbia's television unit during this era. | * Depending on the quality of the film print or telecine, the logo would appear slightly {{Font color|red|red}}.

'''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". | '''Logo:''' We see a still picture of a brand new Columbia Torch Lady (painted by Michael J.
