Background: This is the current name of the international television distribution arm of Sony Pictures Entertainment, being changed from Columbia TriStar International Television in 2002.
1st Logo
(2002-2003)
Nicknames: “Shining Bars”, "The Bars of Boredom"
Logo: This is the same logo from Sony Pictures Television. However, everything has been shifted up a little to place the word “INTERNATIONAL” under the word “TELEVISION” way under the Sony Pictures logo and the line. There are 11 bars. The words
stacked features:
With Sony Pictures’ logo at the top.
FX/SFX: Same as the Sony Pictures Television logo with the word: “INTERNATIONAL” under the word “TELEVISION”.
Music/Sounds: Same as the standard Sony Pictures Television logo.
Availability: Extremely rare. Was first shown on the early 1st season episodes of Men in Black: The Series in 1997 on Nickelodeon's short-lived action program SLAM! in 2002 in America, but now has been replaced by the normal Sony logo. For others, it’s shown worldwide.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(2002- )
Nicknames: "The Shining Bars Print logo"
Logo: Just an in-credit logo saying "Produced by", "Produced by [name of the company] and", or "Produced in association with", and then the Sony Pictures Television International logo.
Other series have only the SPTI in-credit logo, depending on the country and its native language.
FX/SFX: None, or the scrolling of the credits.
Cheesy Factor: Cheapest logo ever. It just looks like they took the picture from their website and applied it there!
Music/Sounds: The ending theme from any show.
Availability: Current outside the U.S. Can be seen on international adaptations of classic Sony shows, such as The Nanny, Mad About You, Married with Children, and I Dream of Jeannie, for example, as well on Los Simuladores, last show produced by Columbia Pictures Television according to IMDb. Other shows would carry this like Dragons' Den on Fox Reality Channel.
Scare Factor: None. You'll be annoyed about how cheap this logo is.
3rd Logo (2nd official logo)
(2003- )
Nicknames: “Swirling Bars”, “Filmstrip Bars”, "Sony Cylinder"
Logo: On a black BG, we have the Sony Pictures logo swirling and zooming back at the same time in 3-D. At the bottom of the swirling bars has the name “SONY PICTURES TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL” zooming in slowly. There is a blue (sometimes purple) spotlight that is spinning at the bottom and shining on the logo that is also following the animation of the Sony Pictures logo until it stops.
Variant: In 2005, a narrow version was introduced.
FX/SFX: The bars swirling and moving back, the names zooming in, and the spotlight spinning.
Music/Sounds: An ascending, zoom-like synthesizer effect.
Music/Sound Variants:
Availability: Common. This logo can be seen on several reruns of Good Times on TV Land. It was last seen on Dawson's Creek on The N and early Designing Women episodes last seen on TV Land. This logo is also seen across the globe.
Scare Factor: Low. The theme can startle some, but it's fairly harmless.
