Columbia Pictures Logo

Right. Okay. I'm not exactly sure how the bigheads at Columbia Pictures made this logo, but i'm gonna take a guess that the first thing they had sorted was the background shot of the sky. They then probably had the woman carrying the torch. They would've done some sort of animation to make the clouds move in the background.

They would've then added the fade in to the opening of the sequence, and have it zooming out from the woman's face. They would've then made sure that they would've had the company's titles created, and it fades on over the top of the woman. The soundtrack would also be created and added in at the end of the clip.

There you have it. That's how i would go about trying to re-create the sequence. I'd be surprised if i actually got it right....
