In 2008, there is a black screen that reads "DISTRIBUTED BY" before the SPT logo.There is also a black & white variant for classic shows by Screen Gems.

Sometimes this version was squashed to fit a 4x3 TV, and has been featured on several movies, first-run production, and classic series on television and DVD. It consists of just a solid blue lighting effect in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, where the reflection of the Bars would usually be.


A rare filmed variant of the logo exists.The logo is a striped parallelogram as Chain Reaction & The Newlywed Game From (2006-2009 Present) on August 1 2006-Apas Jeopardy as Jep Wheel 2000 as Wheel of Fortune 2000 Tic Tac Dough The Joker,s Wild & More Barry & Enright Productions or Other The finished logo appears against a shaded navy blue background. The flash dissipates and we see a oblong orange-white glare surrounding the logo and words, which shrinks into the bars to give it a shine. While this happens, a flash of light appears on the left side of the screen., and 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. A horizontal line is drawn between the "PICTURES" and "TELEVISION". The three words aren't directly stacked at first, but as the animation progresses, they slide into place. For the first time since 1974, the Torch Lady or anything resembling Columbia's symbol is nowhere to be seen instead, the corporate logo for Sony Pictures was introduced to television viewers for the first time as Wheel of Fortune.Īgainst a lined background, the words "SONY PICTURES TELEVISION" (all in the Sony typeface and stacked word-by-word with "SONY" being largest) emerge and zoom away downwards from the screen. On September 16, 2002, Sony Pictures Entertainment decided to retire the Columbia TriStar Television name and logo from its television division, renaming it "Sony Pictures Television".
