Just one question I have about this logo -- I found out that Columbia Pictures Television started using this logo in September 1976, about six months after Eric Siday (the composer of the so-called "S from Hell" jingle) died. I wonder how much influence Siday really had at CPT? Also, in addition to the shows CraigFoye80 mentioned, this logo was also used at the end of "Fred Flinstone and Friends", which, if I'm not mistaken, made its debut in the fall of 1976.

[CraigFoye80]

From "Soap", "Barney Miller" and "Charlie's Angels".

How about "Fantasy Island"?

I there A video of the Sunburst logo like this but with the modern Sony pictures audio track?

[RingtailStudios]

I remember seeing this at the end of the Charlie's Angels credits while watching the reruns in 1999.

I reminds me of a relaxing weekday afternoon of syndicated programming. The movement from note to note subtly reminds me of Coke being poured. :)

[AnthonyUK]

[chabba77]

That's right, I missed a couple of "glubs".

[buzzlewie]

Hey I like that, that's good.

@NitekMuscle

As well it should, for that's exactly what the jingle simulates. This always was one of my favorite logos growing up.

[QuietStormMan]

I love that late 70's CPT logo presentation.

the last note is kinda loud

[jtomally9681]

I use to like this one.

[apryl1476]

Sunburst scares me, feeling like i'm having a nightmare, I used to watch it when I was a little girl.

[manning44070]

i agree with you 100%. when i was a kid, same thing happened. nightmares of the following variation with no words at all, in fact, it had a whaling elephant sound to it. this ranked #2 on the scariest tv logos. the only one on top was viacom v of doom.

[Brinah]

I thought i was the only one! :(

[jellobabe123456]

Beautiful.

[lorimar1984]

susan ciani strikes again!!! beautiful logo...i just wish this still existed along with the 1980s torch lady...don't you agree?

[livinlarge18]

This my favorite CPT logo also the music resembles soda fizzing

[quizmaster85]

Coca-Cola perhaps? (hint, hint :) )

[chabba77]

I thought Coca-Cola didn't buy Columbia until about 1982. By then they launched the 80s Torch Lady logo, with the Coca-Cola byline. But then there was the rumored "Cokeburst" logo, the Sunburst with the Coca-Cola byline. Perhaps that was a short-lived placeholder.

[Watcher3223]

That was the intent, according to Suzanne Ciani, the composer of the music.

In the late 1970s, Coca-Cola Corporation purchased Columbia Pictures Industries.

[Starskylar87]

I agree with you on that
