'''Nicknames:''' "CPT Pretzel", "The Torch"


'''Logo:''' Against a {{color|red}} background, the {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} letters "'''{{color|#FFD900|C}}{{color|white|-}}{{color|#FFD900|P}}{{color|white|-}}{{color|#FFD900|T}}'''" appear one by one as each of them zooms out at the same time. The "'''{{color|#FFD900|T}}'''" is in the middle of and on a higher plane than the "'''{{color|#FFD900|C}}'''" and "'''{{color|#FFD900|P}}'''", which slide upwards diagonally to merge with the "'''{{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.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Abstract Torch", "The Sunburst"


'''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 {{color|orangered|orange-red}} semicircle, fades in from behind the rays and the words "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|orange|'''Columbia Pictures Television'''}}}}" appear under it in an {{color|orange}} Souvenir font. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out.

'''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|{{color|gold|'''Columbia Pictures'''}}}}" in Souvenir appear on either side of the torch lady, the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{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.

'''Nicknames:''' "Majestic Torch Lady", "'90s 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 {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} sky around it. The word "{{color|silver|'''COLUMBIA'''}}" appears in giant chiseled {{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".

* The CPTD version of the logo sometimes used a warped version of the 1993 theme. This was a little strange to hear it be used with the CPT version of the logo on older prints of selected episodes of ''Charlie's Angels'', possibly due to plastering over the older logos.
