''The Price of Success'', ''The New Champion'', ''The Great Sensation'', ''When Husbands Flirt'', ''A Fight to the Finish'', ''S.O.S.

Prints of these films are held in various film libraries, including the George Eastman House and the Library of Congress. |
|||
* It has appeared in the 1999 documentary ''The Lady with the Torch''. |
|||
* This logo also appeared in the 2018 film ''Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'' as part of that film's variant of the 1993 logo. |
|||
'''2nd:''' Seen on Columbia-owned films from this time period right up until the introduction of the next logo. |
|||
* The logo premiered on ''That Certain Thing'' and made its final appearance on ''Counterfeit''. |
|||
* It was seen on ''It Happened One Night'' (1934) and ''Mr. Deeds Goes To Town'' (1936). |
|||
* It can also be seen on ''The Three Stooges'' releases on DVD. |
|||
* It can also still be seen on reruns of 1934-1936 ''Three Stooges'' shorts on IFC, AMC, and Antenna TV. |
|||
* It can also be found on TCM and Sony Movie Channel as well. |
|||
* It does not appear on original prints of Walt Disney's ''Mickey Mouse'' and ''Silly Symphonies'' cartoons from 1930-1932, as Columbia only distributed those shorts. |
|||
* The textless version can be seen on some ''Three Stooges'' shorts. |
|||
'''3rd:''' Can still be seen on Columbia Pictures films of this period on home video formats and on TV airings. |
|||
* The last films to feature this logo were ''Taxi Driver'', ''Drive-In'', ''Harry and Walter Go to New York'', ''Obsession'' (at least on U.S. prints), and Peter Bogdanovich's ''Nickelodeon''. |
|||
* The 1973 variation was also seen on some later struck 16mm prints of some ''Three Stooges'' shorts, sometimes plastering the Screen Gems logo with the latter logo's music sometimes preserved, with ''Tricky Dicks'' and ''Three Pests in a Mess'' being common examples. |
|||
* ''Tommy'' originally featured the 1968-76 variation of the logo, but was plastered with the next logo below on all later prints and home video releases of the film. ''Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different'' suffered the same fate as ''Tommy'' on the video releases, but has been restored on the DVD releases. |
|||
* This was seen on early releases of the 1975 version of ''The Stepford Wives'', but when [[Viacom Productions|Viacom]] bought the rights to the film, along with the rest of the [[Palomar Pictures International|Palomar Pictures]] catalog in the mid-'80s, the logo was deleted. However, following the release of the 2004 remake, [[Paramount Pictures]] gained rights to the original film through Viacom (owner of the former company), and added their 2002 logo at the beginning of all current prints. |
|||
* This also appears on current prints of films that originally had the 2nd logo, including ''Dirigible'', ''Behind the Mask'', ''Shopworn'', ''The Circus Queen Murder'', ''Man's Castle'', ''Twentieth Century'', ''The Whole Town's Talking'', ''The Black Room'' (1935), and ''She Married Her Boss''. |
|||
* The "A Columbia Serial" variant can be seen on the old ''Batman'' serials when aired on TCM. |
|||
* The 3D version appears on the company's Golden Age 3D features, including ''Man in the Dark'', ''Miss Sadie Thompson'', and ''The Mad Magician''. |
|||
* The ''Three Stooges'' shorts that include the "Short Subject" variants will likely be retained, being followed by the [[Sony Pictures Television]] logo. |
|||
* The 1960 variant of this logo also appears at the start of the Warner Archive Collection 2023 Blu-ray release of ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!'' (1964). |
|||
'''4th:''' Sony generally retains older logos for newer releases of Columbia's films much more often than [[Sony Pictures Television|their TV output]]. In the early days of [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia Pictures' video division]], however, this logo would be plastered by their home video logo (although the "Columbia Pictures" text alone would be seen for a split second, possibly due to poor editing). Otherwise, all later video releases, DVD and Blu-ray releases, and TV broadcasts retain this logo. |
|||
* The first film to use this logo was ''Murder by Death'', while the last film to use it were ''Happy Birthday to Me''. However, in international territories, it was used until at least 1982 as this appeared on ''Death Wish II'' (released domestically by [[Filmways Pictures]]). |
|||
* On some airings of ''The Mirror Crack'd'' (the 1980 Angela Lansbury version), the logo is not shown at all, but is still intact on most home media releases and uncut TV airings. However, it's plastered by [[StudioCanal|the black-and-white variant of the 2003 StudioCanal logo]] on most newer releases. |
|||
* The 1980 [[Magnetic Video Corporation|Magnetic Video]] release of the [[ITC Entertainment Group|ITC Entertainment]] film ''The Eagle Has Landed'', which Columbia distributed in the United States, also has this logo. |
|||
* It may also have possibly been seen on certain UK and international theatrical prints of ''The Savage Bees'', ''The Incredible Melting Man'', ''The Legacy'', and the first two ''Spider-Man'' films (from the 1977 film series) |
|||
* It also plasters the previous logo on ''Tommy'', and 1980s and early 1990s U.S. VHS prints of ''Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different''. |
|||
* It was also seen on some pre-release versions of ''Stripes'', before switching to the next logo for general release, as well as on home video releases. |
|||
* The 1988 [[GoodTimes Entertainment|Goodtimes Home Video]] release of ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind'' (as well as most other Columbia films distributed by Goodtimes on VHS during this period, such as the original 1977 ''Fun With Dick and Jane'') edits this out and goes straight to the opening credits, although other prints, such as the 2001 DVD release and 30th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD releases and the 40th Anniversary 4K UHD release retain it (as do later reissues of said other Columbia films from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment). |
|||
* Neither this nor the 1963 [[Universal Pictures]] logo appear on the Steven Spielberg movie ''1941'' (which Columbia co-released with Universal). |
