Background

On May 28, 2015, Sony Pictures Television resurrected TriStar Television as its boutique production label with the television series The Good Girls Revolt, which made its debut on Amazon Prime Video on November 5, 2015. Until her death in March 2018, the revived studio was run by Suzanne Patmore-Gibbs. On May 31, 2024, it was announced that Sony was shutting the label down as part of the studio's cost-cutting measures with executives Jennifer Turner and Nicole Norwood departing. As a result, the banner's ongoing shows were moved to the mainline Sony Pictures Television name.

Logo (November 5, 2015-September 6, 2023)

• 

  2015 version

• 

  2023 version

Visuals: It starts with the 2014 Sony Entertainment logo, just like Sony Pictures Television. It very quickly zooms in to reveal the end of the current TriStar logo with the Pegasus just beginning to spread its wings. "TELEVISION" then fades in underneath in the Bebas Neue font and with the letters spaced out. The byline "A SONY COMPANY" fades in a moment later, in small letters and in a different font than in the regular logo. All of the text appears to be made of solid gold.

Variant: For its final year of usage, the logo is still with "TELEVISION" in a different font and the Sony byline now used from the film logo. It also transitions from the 2021 Sony logo.

Technique: CGI, designed by JAMM VFX.

Audio: The 1993 theme from the 1992 TriStar Television logo.

Audio Variant: On the 2023 version, it's just the Sony ding.

Availability:

• Seen on the shows The Good Girls Revolt, Shut Eye, and The Last Tycoon all on Amazon Prime Video.
• It is also seen on the Showtime series On Becoming a God in Central Florida and the AMC series Lucky Hank, which proved to be the label's final production.
• It is also seen on the second and final season of The Afterparty; the first season uses the 2020 Sony Pictures Television Studios logo instead.
