'''Closing Variant:''' Similar to the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[TriStar Pictures]] logos, the print "Spiral S" is on the right with "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" (in a slightly different font) stacked on top of one another on the left and the byline "'''A Sony Pictures Entertainment Company'''". Beginning in 2014, the byline was changed to "'''a Sony Company'''". | '''Closing Variant:''' Similar to the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[TriStar Pictures]] closing logos, the print "Spiral S" is on the right with "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" (in a slightly different font) stacked on top of one another on the left and the byline "'''A Sony Pictures Entertainment Company'''".

'''Audio:''' It starts out with a rising orchestra similar to the end of the 1993 Columbia Pictures logo, then to a five-note tune with a choir singing along coinciding with the animation and the forming of the words "SCREEN GEMS". This was composed by James R. O'Brien. In other cases, it uses the opening theme or it's silent. | '''Audio:''' It starts out with a rising orchestra similar to the end of the 1993 Columbia Pictures logo, then to a five-note tune with a choir singing along coinciding with the animation and the forming of the words "SCREEN GEMS".

'''Visuals:''' The | '''Visuals:''' The logo starts out high in the sky. The camera turns and ascends through layers of clouds. Eventually the clouds clear and a CGI {{color|blue}} letter "S" is seen. The camera continues to turn and zoom out, slowly revealing the name "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" (again in the same different font as before) which fades in with the smaller byline underneath it, in the same vein as the previous logo. The camera continues to ascend and zoom out, revealing the same trademark "Spiral S". It seems to be made out of glass, refracting the blue of the sky (rather than being blue itself). As the camera comes to a stop, the blazing sun is positioned exactly behind the bottom half of the "Spiral S", with the clouds forming a plane under the logo. The finished product looks similar to the 2006 version of the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] logo, the studio's corporate sister, complete with rainbow-like circles around the sun. | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was based on artwork by Buffy Cutler in association with Picturemill, who was commissioned to create a new Screen Gems logo for ''Friends with Benefits''. Some of the other candidates he produced are [https://www.behance.net/gallery/10729055/Screen-Gems-Studio-Logo here], and appear to have been inspired by the 1965 Screen Gems logo. | '''Trivia:''' This logo was based on artwork by Buffy Cutler in association with Picturemill, who was commissioned to create a new Screen Gems logo for ''Friends with Benefits''.
