Background
This was another joint venture between Gaumont and Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2004. This venture ended in 2007.
(2004-2007)
Nicknames: "The Flower Torch Lady", "The Daisy Torch Lady"
Logo: On a black background with a big bright light reflected onto it, we see the famous Columbia Torch Lady in front of the Gaumont daisy symbol which spins in a clockwise direction, all on the left of the screen. As the torch's light rays shine in all directions, the two symbols, which were silhouettes at the start, start to reveal their "true colors". The daisy then stops spinning as the background gets filled with time-lapsed clouds. Then, the text "Gaumont Columbia TriStar Films", stacked on top of each other, fade in and emit light reflections that go from left to right. The reflections disappear as the text shines and the logo fades out. We then see a copyright before it fades out as well.
FX/SFX: The torch shining, the logo revealing itself, the text appearing and shining.
Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth theme that sort of sounds like the 2nd Technicolor logo. Silence for the short version.
Availability: Was seen on French theatrical prints of export films released by Columbia-TriStar/Sony Pictures, as well as co-productions with Gaumont. The long version was spotted on a French bootleg theater recording of Spider-Man 3. This was removed from most French Home Video/TV prints of these films, but can be seen on French trailers on R2 DVDs or on European trailer websites.
Editor's Note: This was actually a really good attempt at fusing the two companies. Too bad it didn't last long, though. Unfortunately, the captures made of this logo online before the long variant's discovery in HD are VERY poor quality, as the long version was only seen on a camera recording so far. Only time will tell if it shows up in good quality.
