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:''' Against a {{Font color|red|red}} background, the {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} letters "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|C}}{{font color|white|-}}{{Font color|#FFD900|P}}{{font color|white|-}}{{Font color|#FFD900|T}}'''" appear one by one as each of them zooms out at the same time.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A slightly sped-up version of the 1970-1974 Screen Gems music as the first three opening notes bring forth the three initials in the logo. The rest of the theme plays normally. The first three notes appear to be played faster than on the Screen Gems version. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A slightly sped-up version of the 1970-1974 Screen Gems music as the first three opening notes bring forth the three initials in the 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:''' We see a bright torch light appear against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch light.

* A nearly still version of this logo was seen on the failed TV pilot ''Johnny Garage''. The logo slides down from the Sonny Grosso/Larry Jacobson Productions logo. The words "In association with" are seen above the sunburst in red, with the CPT name below the sunburst, also in red. The words are all in a thicker Souvenir font than what's seen on the animated logo. | * A nearly still version of this logo was seen on the failed TV pilot ''Johnny Garage''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The television theme is a variation of the theatrical logo's music. Was also written by Suzanne Ciani. Some people find it appropriate for the company that would be owned by Coca-Cola, as the effects in the song resemble the sound of pouring and fizzing soda. | '''Music/Sounds:''' The television theme is a variation of the theatrical logo's music.

''' | '''Nickname:''' "Coke Bottle Torch Lady" | ||
'''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. | '''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.

''' | '''Nickname:''' "Majestic Torch Lady" | ||
'''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.
