An early version has a much smaller Coke byline. Another version has a medium-sized byline. This was first used on ''Days of Our Lives'' and ''The Young and the Restless'' in late 1982 or early 1983. Prior to this, neither show used a Columbia or Screen Gems logo, with the exception of in-credit text on ''Days of Our Lives''. A 16mm B/W copy of this variant was seen on a syndicated print of ''The Three Stooges'' short "Boobs in Arms", plastering the Screen Gems logo. | ||

There was an early distribution logo used on ''Punky Brewster'', which has this logo with "{{color|#00b825|Distributed by}}" and the CPE byline in a plain looking font. | ||

The CPE byline is used (network version, 1989; syndication prints have "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Distributed by'''}}" on top). On some distribution variants, the sunburst fades in, rather than out. Although it stopped general use around September 1991, a few shows, such as the ''Married... with Children'' spin-off ''Vinnie & Bobby'', used this until 1992. | ||

This followed the LBS Communications logo. From 1989-1991, the font was cheaply tacked in white with a black outline around it. This version looped part of the animation, causing the sunburst to fade out, then suddenly reappear. It would also fade in. On 1991-1993 episodes of ''Days of Our Lives'', the logo used the IAW variant with the text in the Souvenir font. | ||

* Open matte versions of the 1989 and 1991 logos exist, revealing more of the Torch Lady's pedestal. The 1989 version is seen on ''Dark Avenger'' (1990) and ''Hardball'' (the latter has the phrase "'''In Association With'''" appearing below it), while the 1991 version is seen on ''Christmas on Division Street''. On the 1989 version, the text looks {{color|peru|bronze}} rather than {{color|gold}}. Another version, seen on part one of ''Switched at Birth'', ''Cast the First Stone'', and a few episodes of the 1989 CBS drama series ''A Peaceable Kingdom'' have no black under the pedestal. The 1989 open-matte version was exclusive to TV movies and drama shows, barring soap operas. | * Open matte versions of the 1989 and 1991 logos exist, revealing more of the Torch Lady's pedestal.
