Consider not the logo but the clip that opens films. Show the gal, show the torch, show "COLUMBIA". YMMV, but IMHO the preceding version (pre-90s) was much more, let's say, sensual. More feminine, less severe. I figured that the new (90s) version was a sop to the Anti-Sex League. Going for a Nancy Reagan vibe.

  That video was far longer than I expected. I was thinking that there would be 5-6 variations, tops.

I would not say much more, perhaps a little more. and that was really only the early ones. after the 70's she was more stylized. until the 90's version featured in the article. The article actually confused me because I was sure that Columbia pictures had been using illuminating Columbia since.. well a lot longer than 1993. And I was sort of right, it was a series of similar women in similar poses since 1928. I did find this handy collection of logos however, which was fun to go through. https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Columbia_Pictures/Other https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Columbia_Pictures/Other
