The first Torch Lady was used for the newly-formed studio and on all black and white Columbia films between 1924 and 1936. The words, A Columbia Production (or "This is a Columbia Picture" at the end of every Columbia film) was appeared on the first Columbia logo for the first time. It was the next couple of years, the Torch Lady would tour with Columbia promoters to signify the studio's launch and survived two severe accidents. Their Torch Lady debuted in 1924. This Time it's NTSC Format.

The Columbia Pictures Home Video production logo depicted shining (reportedly Columbia's) working on a sunburst, with a text while a dream song played. When the sunburst shined, we see the words Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment.

After Coca-Cola had decided to spin Columbia Pictures into CPE (Columbia Pictures Entertainment) after a bad period in the business (Who could Forget Ishtar??) in late 1987, the byline was changed, and so did the logo's background. Also, when the byline changed from Coca-Cola to CPE (A unit of Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc.), the music was changed to a 6-note horn-driven jingle. Also consider that Columbia's logo editing habits were so sloppy during this era that sometimes this logo was covered up over a Screen Gems or Embassy logo with the original logo's music still intact. There were two logos. One was the blue and gold variant used for Columbia's originals. The second version was the blue and ivory logo that was used for classic shows by Columbia. Also, for television distribution, the words "Distributed by" appear above the logo only on the blue/ivory version.
