Columbia Pictures 75 (Sunburst Zoom) Contact Version

1970's Columbia Pictures intro. Also called "Sunburst Zoom" and "The Sunburst." The introduction for "Columbia Movies."

It begins with the familiar Columbia Torch Lady, standing on the pedestal holding her light torch. Then, the picture moves upward and towards the torch, which shines even more as the picture blurs around it. It then emits a flash that fills the screen. When the flash dissolves, the light torch itself appears, as if in sunburst, against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch: a blue half circle, or a semicircle, with thirteen white light rays in the center and the words "Columbia Pictures" (in Souvenir font) under it. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out.

Makes me feel like I'm about to watch Stripes with Bill Murray or The Buddy Holly Story...
