* Sometimes, a shorter version of the jingle is used, only about the second half of the long version. This version of the music sounds like a re-orchestration and not a truncation of the regular logo. This is mostly seen on the "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" variation of the logo. However, it was also used on the "DOMESTIC TELEVISION" variant of the logo on the final season of ''V.I.P'' and Showtime's ''Going to California''.

On ''Dilbert'', the last 2 1/2 notes of the short CTTD theme are played over the CTT logo.
*On some TriStar produced shows, the 1992, 1993, and 1997 [[TriStar Television (1991-1999)|TriStar Television]] themes were used. However, some shows produced by CTT such as ''Cupid'' used the 1993 TriStar Television theme as well. This was started in 1997. On some current prints of the TV movie ''The Advocate's Devil'', the TriStar theme plays over the filmed version.

*On some Game Show Network reruns (mostly old episodes of ''Jeopardy!'', ''Wheel of Fortune'' (excepting the 1988-1990 seasons), and ''Headline Chasers''), Charlie O'Donnell says "Columbia TriStar Television" over the fanfare. This is presumably done to blend in with the spiel at the end of the program and cover up the end reference to King World. On the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons of both shows, the original voice over is intact, simply plastering the 1994 logo with this logo. This variant was also attached on reruns of other Sony-owned game shows, such as the 1976 network version of ''Break the Bank'', and on a rerun of ''The $25,000 Pyramid'' finale on New Year's Eve 1999.

*The CTDT logos can also be seen on season 2 DVD releases of ''All in the Family'', ''Sanford and Son'', ''Good Times'', and ''The Jeffersons'', and a couple episodes on the season 4 DVD release of ''Punky Brewster'' (with the [[NBC Enterprises]] or [[NBCUniversal Television Distribution|NBC Universal Television Distribution]] logo following it, this was kept on one episode on Peacock but with the 1982 CPT and the current NBCUniversal Television Distribution logos following this logo), and was last seen on reruns of ''Mad About You'' on Antenna TV (plastering the 1992 TriStar Television logo), among others. CTTD or CTDT can also be spotted on several Sony classic movies on TCM occasionally.

*As for the high and low tones, they were last seen on most season 2 episodes of ''Jackie Chan Adventures'' when it was reran on Cartoon Network. Current prints of season 2 plaster the logo over with the SPT logo (like when it popped up on Disney XD at one point). The low-tone variant was also seen on the short-lived series ''Secret Agent Man'' when it was aired on UPN and is also retained on the Australian DVD. CTTD can be found on ''Sleepless in Seattle'' and ''The Quick and the Dead'' on TBS and TNT, ''The Jeffersons'' episode "Lunch with Mama" on TV One, and some films on ThisTV like ''Swamp Thing'', ''Casualties of War'' or ''1941''. The latter title was followed by the SPT logo. CTDT was found (followed by SPT) on the ''Married... with Children episode'' "Have You Driven a Ford Lately" on TBS.

*The short version was commonly seen on the animated TV show adaptation of ''Dilbert'' (also on UPN and preserved on some current prints, like on Tubi). It was also last seen on 1998-2002 episodes of ''Dawson's Creek'' on The N (now [[TeenNick Originals|TeenNick]]); the first two season DVD sets and Tubi prints of said show retain it. The Distribution variant was recently spotted on Crackle prints on some episodes of ''Crazy Like a Fox'' (while the GREAT! TV UK airings have the regular variant).
