On September 16, 2002, Japanese giant Sony Corporation decided to retire the Columbia TriStar name and logo from its television division, rebranding it into Sony Pictures Television.
For the first time since 1974, the Torch Lady, Pegasus or anything resembling Columbia or TriStar's emblems are nowhere to be seen; instead, the corporate 1991 "bar" logo for Sony Pictures was introduced to television viewers for the first time.
On July 25, 2017, SPT launched a new in-production name called Sony Pictures Television Studios, in order to further make use of production in the SPT library and rolls out for current and future titles starting on January 7, 2020. The SPT name and logo will continue to be used in media sites, film on television reruns and international broadcasts.
Logo: We see an extreme close-up of the words "SONY PICTURES TELEVISION" (in the Sony corporate typeface), stacked word-by-word with "SONY" being the largest, emerge and zoom away downwards from the screen. The three words are not directly stacked at first, but as the animation progresses, they slide into place. A horizontal line is drawn between the "PICTURES" and "TELEVISION". While this happens, we see a bright white light on the left side of the screen that later reveals the names; as the light dies down, the lines in the background themselves back away as well, eventually moving back to the upper part of the screen and into a diagonal pattern to form the logo. The flash dissipates and we see an oblong orange-white glare surrounding the logo and words, which shrinks into the bars to give it a shine. The finished logo, which is a striped parallelogram, appears against a shaded navy blue background.
Trivia: This logo first appeared as a print logo on broadcasting ads in magazines such as Variety in fall 1991, around the time when SPE was founded.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Rick Scott at Tigar Hare Studios (also known for their work on the 2010 Technicolor logo).
Music/Sounds: A descending piano tune and a majestic 5-note orchestral theme composed by David Kurtz, which sounds vaguely similar to the Habanera section of Bizet's opera Carmen and the 1993 TriStar Television theme (specifically the long version).
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Extremely common; it might be the most common logo in history - however, after over two decades of omnipresence, it is slowly being winded down in favor of the Sony Pictures Television Studios logo below.
Legacy: This logo has been contentious for many. While being praised for its music and animation, it (mainly the standard variant, which uses very simple animation) is rather infamous for its large-scale plastering and omnipresence, with it being dubbed the "Bars of Boredom". Overall, it's a divisive logo that's gone through many cycles of love, hate, and indifference from the community.
Logo: On a blue gradient background, a purple flash appears onscreen, covering the whole screen. When the flash dies down, the print version of the Sony Pictures Television logo appears. The logo zooms back for a few seconds before stopping completely.
Variant: A 16:9 open-matte version exists on TV airings of the film.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: This made its only appearance on El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie on Netflix, as a one-off logo produced for the film.
Logo: On a black background, we see the corporate Sony logo. It then either fades, blurs out, or uses the 2014/2021 Sony transition, as the text "SONY PICTURES TELEVISION STUDIOS" appears.
Opening Variants:
Other Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: The same "ding" sound in G major used in the Sony logo.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Current, and is used in tandem with the 2002 SPT logo.
Legacy: This logo is considered to be very bland by the logo community, with many considering it an example of the simplified logo trend that started in the 2010s and some even comparing it unfavorably to the first SPT logo at the time of its debut. In fact, it was first thought to be a placeholder logo when it debuted, which ultimately was proven otherwise.
