In 1992 Columbia Pictures had commissioned Artist Micheal Deas to update its longtime logo, showing a woman holding a torch similar to that of the Statue of Liberty. The artist then asked photographer Kathy Anderson, to take photographs.
Jenny Joseph, 28 at the time, was working as a graphic artist for a newspaper when Kathy Anderson asked her to participate during a lunch break one day,
During the photoshoot Joseph asked if she could sit down for a minute, Kathy asked her if she was ok and she confided that she was pregnant. She has never modeled again since that day.
After Anderson and Joseph’s photoshoot, artist Michael Deas then used the photos as inspiration to paint what turned into Columbia Pictures’ 1992 logo that the company still uses today.
