This logo also makes an appearance on the IMAX 3D version of ''Resident Evil: Afterlife'' (may be on the 3D Blu-ray release as well). Starting with the international releases of ''Heaven is for Real'', this logo has been phased out in favor of the current Sony logo that surges into the TriStar/Columbia Pictures logos.
