'''Logo:''' Like the 1942 version of the 1936-1976 [[Columbia Pictures]] logo, we see a lady (Columbia, a representation of the USA) holding a light torch on top a pedestal with a backdrop of clouds over her. The Torch Lady's head and upper body is between the words "SCREEN GEMS" with the letter "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''A'''''}}" in Vivaldi font above it and "FILM PRESENTATION" or "FILM PRODUCTION" below it. The byline "TELEVISION SUBSIDIARY COLUMBIA PICTURES CORPORATION" appears below that.

'''Trivia:''' The Torch Lady, aka Columbia, is played by Pittsburgh native Jane Chester Bartholomew, who was recruited by Harry Cohn. (After she left acting in the '60s, Mrs. Bartholomew became a nursing inspector with the Chicago Board of Health. She died in 2012.)
