'''FX/SFX: | '''FX/SFX:''' The fade in and fade-out, the zoom out. | ||
'''Music/Sounds: | '''Music/Sounds:''' Silent, or the music from any given soundtrack. On the DVD of ''Escape from Absolom'' (aka ''No Escape'' in the US and UK), the [[Savoy Pictures]] theme plays at the end of the logo. | ||
'''Availability: | '''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Was seen on export theatrical prints of films and various foreign productions produced or released by Columbia Pictures and TriStar Pictures, but most now either use U.S. domestic prints, or have removed or plastered this over.

On the Australian DVD & Blu-ray of ''Escape from Absolom'', the logo has the widescreen version with its original ratio aspect 2.35:1 (which is the different than the Region 4 DVD with 1.78:1, which has the Savoy Pictures logo).

'''Nickname: | '''Nickname:''' "The Silver Light" | ||
'''Logo: | '''Logo:''' On a black background, there is a {{Font color|silver|silver}} light that gets a little brighter, then the text "COLUMBIA TRISTAR" in Bank Gothic MD BT fades in and zooms out. The {{Font color|silver|silver}} light later forms a {{Font color|silver|silver}} line forming "FILM DISTRIBUTORS INTERNATIONAL" in smaller lettering below the line. The logo shines while the entire text zooms in slowly as the light dims inside the line. | ||
'''Variants: | '''Variants:''' On ''The Punisher'', the logo's text turns {{Font color|red|red}} and segues to the 2002 Marvel logo. At the end of the credits, the logo is seen with the text "RELEASED BY" above it and the byline "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company" on the bottom, though it doesn't have a silver line. On ''Suspect Zero'', the logo is in warp speed. | ||
'''FX/SFX: | '''FX/SFX:''' The light forming, and the name effects. | ||
'''Music/Sounds: | '''Music/Sounds:''' Silent or the film's opening theme. | ||
'''Availability: | '''Availability:''' Very rare in Europe, but extremely rare in the U.S. Seen on international theatrical prints of films produced or distributed by Columbia/TriStar/Sony. Like the previous logos, most prints either use U.S. domestic versions, have this removed, or plastered this over. Seen on foreign prints of ''The Punisher'' and the SPHE International DVD of ''Suspect Zero''. Around 2005, this was phased out and replaced with the [[Sony Pictures Releasing|SPR International]] logo after the demise of the Columbia TriStar label. | ||
'''Editor's Note: | '''Editor's Note:''' None, it's a clean logo. | ||
