The three words aren't directly stacked at first, but as the animation progresses, they slide into place. A horizontal line is drawn between the "<b><font face="Times">PICTURES</font></b>" and "<b><font face="Times">TELEVISION</font></b>". 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. 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 appears against a shaded navy blue background. The logo is a striped parallelogram.<br/><br/><u>Trivia</u>:</font><div><ol><li>This logo first appeared as a print logo in Fall 1991 on broadcasting ads in magazines such as <i>Variety</i>, around the time when SPE was founded.</li><li>This logo was Animated by "Rick Scott" at Tigar Hare Studios, also known for their work on The Warner Films logo and the 2011 Technicolor logo.</li></ol><font color="#333333" size="3"><br/><u>Variants</u>:<br/></font><ul><li><font color="#333333" size="3">A rare filmed variant of the logo exists.</font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">There is a longer version of this logo featuring an extreme close-up of the "stacked" names at the beginning of the animation. It starts off with a bright white light and later reveals the names as the light dies down. While the logo finishes, it shows a longer shot of the logo.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">There is an even shorter version of this logo that starts from where the 3rd-to-last note of the theme plays. This version began appearing in July 2003.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">In 2004, the phrase "<b><font face="Times">DISTRIBUTED BY</font></b>" appeared above the logo, it was still until it faded in above the logo on the 2006 version of <i>Chain Reaction</i> and season 4 of <i>The Newlywed Game</i> both on GSN, but the font is in Times New Roman on those said game shows. Early shorts on Crackle's C-Spot has the phrase above the name rather than the logo. for the rest, the phrase was placed on a black screen, which later fades to the SPT logo.</font></font></li><li><font size="3">In 2005, an updated widescreen version was introduced. 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. Sometimes this version was squashed to fit a 4:3 TV, and has been featured on several movies, first-run production, and classic series on television and DVD.</font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">There is also a black &amp; white variant for classic shows by [[Screen Gems Television|Screen Gems]].</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">In 2008, there is a black screen that reads "<b><font face="Times">DISTRIBUTED BY</font></b>" before the SPT logo. This only appears on web shows on websites like Crackle, MySpace, YouTube, and Hulu, among others such as <i>C-Spot</i> or <i>Penn Says</i>.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">Another variant has "<b><font face="Times">DISTRIBUTED BY</font></b>" in a small font above the SPT name rather than above the SPT logo. This appeared on early shows on Crackle.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">On pre-2011 episodes of <i>Watch What Happens: Live</i>, the logo is a still shot on a gray-like background.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">In 2010 on <i>The Three Stooges </i>short "The Sitter Downers", the 2005 logo is in black &amp; white.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333" size="3"><font color="#333333">Starting on the 4th season of <i>The Newlywed Game</i>, the text reads as </font><font color="#333333">"<b><font face="Times">DISTRIBUTED THROUGH</font></b>" above the logo.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">Sometimes, the logo can appear a little up-close.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">There is also a version with extra brightness on both 2002 and 2005 versions in color.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">On <i>Robot Chicken</i> since season 6, there is a still version of the logo.</font></font></li><li><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3">A superimposed in-credit variant exists.

Then, the light flashes to reveal the short SPT logo. Some shows, such as <i>The Young and the Restless</i>,<i> </i>syndicated reruns of <i>Seinfeld</i>, and shows co-produced by SPT subsidiary [[Embassy Row]] still do not use this variant.</font></font></font></font></li><li><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="3">On a PAL release of <i>The Real Ghostbusters</i>, the long version is used but the normal music is heard.</font></li><li><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">On a April 16, 2017 HBO Signature </font><font color="#333333">Caribbean</font><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">airing of </font><i>Pixels</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, the logo was silent, but the music played 5-6 seconds after the logo cut to black.</font></font></li><li><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="3">A scoped version wherein the logo is in 21:9 aspect ratio and the black bars on top and the bottom are normal exists.</font></li></ul><font size="3"><font><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><br/></font></font></font><font color="#333333"><u>FX/SFX</u>: The words flying down, the bars zooming back and tilting, a white flash and a glare shrinking into the bars.<br/></font></font></font></font><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br/></font></font></font></font></font><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" face="Arial"><u>Music/Sounds</u></font><font color="#333333">: A majestic 5-note orchestral theme composed by David Kurtz, which sounds vaguely similar to the <i>Habanera</i> section of Bizet's opera <i>Carmen</i>.<br/><br/></font><font color="#333333" face="Arial"><u>Music/Sounds </u></font><font color="#333333"><u>Variants</u>:</font> <ul> <li> <font color="#333333">The long version has a descending piano tune before the main fanfare (which is a bit re-orchestrated), and the last note is held much longer.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Another music variation has only the last three notes of the theme re-arranged.

Used on the ultra short-lived series <i>Sit Down, Shut Up</i> and several final season episodes of <i>Jackie Chan Adventures.</i></font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Sometimes, when used along a co-production or co-distributor ID, the first few notes of the music for this logo will play over the last few seconds of said ID before going into this visual logo. This has happened on such syndicated shows as <i>Jeopardy!</i> and <i>Wheel of Fortune,</i> back when [[King World Productions]] (now "[[CBS Television Distribution]]") was still in operation. But now until October 2007, the CTD music plays on the CTD logo, and the SPT theme plays on the SPT logo.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Sometimes, the logo used the Columbia TriStar Television theme until 2014. The theme can still be heard on some syndicated airings of <i>Good Times</i> via TV One.</font></li><li> <font color="#333333">Two more versions exist by having a high and low tone starting in 2003.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Another version exists having a bell-type twinkle mixed into the standard theme.</font> </li><li>A very high tone version of the music was used on some S4 episodes of <i>Married... With Children </i>on its DVD release.</li><li> <font color="#333333">On some shows like <i>The King of Queens</i> (2004-2007 episodes) and other shows, the end theme plays over this logo.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Middle season local reruns of <i>Good Times</i> and <i>Sanford and Son</i> would have the first four notes of the standard theme playing first, followed by the finishing of the final notes from the SPT long version theme.</font> </li><li><font color="#333333">Up until 2012, the [[Sony Pictures Television International]] sounder was sometimes used, particularly on the Mill Creek DVD release of the [[Nickelodeon]] original movie <i>The Last Day of Summer</i> (any SPT logo appears on the original SPHE DVD release), DVD releases of shows like <i>Married...</i> <i>With Children</i> and on Antenna TV's print of the <i>Sanford and Son</i> episode "Sanford and Gong."</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">There is also a silent version (sometimes on movie networks like Starz and Encore).</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">Another variation would have the 1993 [[Columbia Pictures Television|CPT]] theme. This happened on several reruns of <i>Just Shoot Me!</i> on TV Land. R2 DVDs of <i>T.J. Hooker</i><i> </i>and the 2nd season of <i>Party of Five</i> have also this variation if you select the French audio track.</font></li><li><font color="#333333">A variant exists that has the 1993 CPT theme overlapping the SPT theme. This was spotted on an Antenna TV airing of the show <i>Good Times</i> S4 episode "Michael's Great Romance".<br/></font></li><li> <font color="#333333">A few episodes of <i>The Jeffersons </i>from the 1980-1981 season last aired on TV One has the SPT and the short CTTD themes playing at the same time.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">On <i>The Three Stooges </i>short "Cash and Carry", there is a 2005 low tone version.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">On Antenna TV's print of the <i>All in the Family</i> episode "The Jeffersons Move Up," the short Columbia TriStar Television theme is heard.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">One S1 episode of <i>That's My Mama!</i> on DVD ("Clifton's Con") has the 1982 CPT music over this logo.</font><br/> </li><li><font color="#333333">On the CTHE DVD print of the S3 <i>Married... with Children </i>episode "</font><font color="#333333">The Gypsy Cried", it has the first note of the 1988 CPT theme before going into the SPTI theme.</font> </li><li> <font color="#333333">On several international prints of May-June 2013 episodes of <i>Days of Our Lives </i>and <i>The Young and the Restless</i>, the 1994 [[TriStar Television]] theme is heard.</font></li><li><font color="#333333">On the Mill Creek S4 DVD of <i>Married... with Children</i>, the episode "</font><font color="#333333">Hot Off the Grill" has the 1988 CPT theme playing over this logo.</font></li><li>One 4:3 airing of the TV movie <i>Breakaway</i> has the Columbia TriStar Domestic Television music play over the logo.</li><li>On the Me-TV print of <i>The Facts of Life</i> S5 episode "Brave New World Part 2", a sloppy plaster job results in the theme playing before the logo itself appears.<br/></li><li>On the NTSC DVD print of the mini-series <i>Comanche Moon</i>, the second[[CBS Paramount Television|CBS ]]<font color="#333333">[[CBS Paramount Television|Paramount Television]]</font> logo's music plays (and vice-versa), due to an editing error.</li><li>On current prints of the 1931 film <i>Arizona</i>, the movie's score finishes over the logo after the end title fades out, as the music originally ended over a black screen.</li></ul><font color="#333333"> <br/><u>Availability</u>: Ultra common.

It's quite infamous and annoying for removing and replacing old logos on many pre-2002 Sony TV programs.</font></font></font></font></font><font color="#333333">The only four pre-2002 shows do not have this logo are <i>Walker, Texas Ranger</i><i> </i>on the former network Cloo and USA Network, <i>All in the Family </i>on<i> </i>Get TV and Sony Crackle, the original <i>One Day at a Time</i> on Antenna TV and <i>The Jeffersons</i><i> </i>on Me-TV.</font></li><li><font color="#333333">This logo doesn't appear at all on some channels such as Fox Movies Asia, while its sister channel Fox Family Movies has this in most cases.</font></li><li><font color="#333333" size="3">It appears on shows produced by Adelaide Productions, Sony's television animation studio, as they do not have their own logo.<br/></font></li><li><font color="#333333" size="3">The long version is not as common as the standard version, but it was seen on every episode of <i>Jeopardy!</i> from 2002-2007, <i>The Nate Berkus Show</i>, the DVD release of <i>All in the Family: The Complete 3rd Season</i>, and the DVD release and Crackle prints of <i>Odyssey 5</i> (except for "Astronaut Dreams", which uses the normal version instead), but it may appear on some classic and off-network shows. It also appears at the end of every episode of <i>The Three Stooges</i><i> DVD Collection</i> volume sets, beginning in the second volume, and can also be found on many other TV on DVD releases from 2002-04<i> </i>(from 2005 onward it went to the standard version).</font></li><li><font size="3"><font color="#333333">The low tone theme is uncommon and was last seen on early episodes of <i>Stuart Little: The Animated Series</i>on [[HBO Family]] and the 1976 TV movie <i>Banjo Hackett</i> on DVD, while the </font><font color="#333333">high tone (both 2002 and 2005 versions) appears on <i>The Boondocks</i> on Adult Swim and Netflix, many <i>Three Stooges </i>shorts on IFC, among other shows and certain films on television.<br/></font></font></li><li><font size="3"><font color="#333333">The very high toned version (G version) also appears on international TV airings of some movies, probably due to the NTSC TV airings having it in high tone (F# version).</font></font></li><li><font size="3"><font color="#333333">The scoped version can be seen on CBS airings of <i>S.W.A.T.</i> and some theatrical films on TV such as HBO Asia airings of <i>13 Going On 30</i>.</font></font></li><li><font size="3"><font color="#333333">As for the short version, it's fairly common and it appeared on </font><font color="#333333"><i>The Shield</i> on local syndication and Spike, the ultra short-lived series <i>Sit Down, Shut Up</i> on FOX, and reruns of <i>Joan of Arcadia</i> including <i>Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital</i>. The version with the SPTI theme was spotted on the 1971 film <i>The Anderson Tapes</i> on TCM. It can also be seen on Sony Movie Channel in widescreen. For series outside the US, </font><font color="#333333">it's seen on the series incarnation of the 2007 movie <i>Niñas Mal</i> (translated as <i>Bad Girls</i>) on MTV Latin America and nuvoTV. and <i>Bienvenida Realidad</i> (translated as <i>Welcome Reality</i>). This was oddly seen at the end of an episode of <i>The Jeffersons</i> on Antenna TV before the show's credits, with the CTT logo after the credits.</font> This also strangely appears at the end of a Roku Channel print of <i>Lake Placid</i>.</font></li></ul><font color="#333333"><u><br/>Editor's Note</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: This logo has earned the dubious honor of probably being the most hated closing logo of all time. It's wildly infamous for how often it plasters logos from previous Sony-owned companies on newer prints of old shows (about 99% of the time - the times where older logos are preserved are usually flukes). The version often used when plastering or appearing is usually NOT the full version, thus is seen as a cheap and uninspired logo since the most common version uses the technically simplest portion of the animation/overall logo is the one that is normally by logo enthusiasts. This has been said to be the most common logo when it comes to plastering on television. </font></font><div><font color="#333333" size="3"> </font></div><div><font color="#333333" size="3"> </font></div><div><font color="#333333" size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font color="#333333" size="3">2nd Logo</font></div><div><font size="3"><font color="#333333"><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">(October 11, 2019- )</font><br/></font><font color="#333333"><div align="center">[[File:26673c6fb4a847ed90f70bcaaa6d4962.png|321px|Sony Pictures Television (2019, New)]]<iframe frameborder="0" height="182" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/c4ad4c923a16467aced6fd4a1baa1ee4dd0a9bcd" width="322"></iframe></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><u><br/></u></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><u>Logo</u>: On a blue gradient background, a purple flash appears onscreen, covering it.

It's likely this is simply a custom logo produced for the film.<br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><u>Editor's Note</u>: Even though the logo can be seen as bland, it's a breath of fresh air from the previous logo.</font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial">3rd Logo</font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial">(January 10, 2020- )<br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><br/></font></div><div align="left"><font face="Arial"><u>Logo</u>: Just white text reading "SONY PICTURES TELEVISION STUDIOS" against a black background.

This one, on the other hand, is one of the worst of its kind, representing everything wrong with the 21st century trend of simplistic logos. It doesn't even transition correctly from the Sony Corporation logo. Only time will tell if this is just being used as a placeholder.<br/></font></div></font></font><div><font size="3"><font color="#333333"> <font color="#333333">_______________________________________________________________<br/><br/></font></font><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333"><u>Copyright Stamps</u>: Here is some information about the copyright stamps on the Sony Pictures Television series:<br/></font> </font></font><ul><font color="#333333"><font color="#333333" size="3"> <li> <font face="Arial">2002-</font><font face="Arial">:</font> Copyright © [YEAR] Sony Pictures Television (Inc.)
