The | The '''Screen Gems''' name was resurrected by [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] on December 8, 1998, as a film division to distribute specific genre and mid-budget film releases, such as horror, thriller, science fiction, as well as films geared towards African-American and youth audiences. The studio also distributed some independent films earlier on. The studio was founded in 1998, but didn't have an on-screen logo until the following year. | ||

A series of tops spin around it and form the two lines of the "S" (the same as the 1965 Screen Gems Television logo, only the "S" is also in a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} color). Under the "S", the text "SCREEN GEMS" flips into place and flashes, and underneath that, the Sony byline fades in. The entire animation also has light trail and distortion effects. | ||

'''Audio:''' It starts out with a rising orchestra similar to the end of the 1993 Columbia Pictures logo (taken from the ''Orchestral Colors'' sample library by Peter Siedlaczek), 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 (taken from the ''Orchestral Colors'' sample library by Peter Siedlaczek), then to a five-note tune with a choir singing along coinciding with the animation and the forming of the words "SCREEN GEMS".
