What if Paramount Global co-owned Columbia and TriStar?

The print logos to Columbia Pictures and TriStar with new, updated print logo designs seen in their closing logos.

The inspiration of the original concept came from the Disney/Fox merger. This new concept was inspired by Paramount Global's co-ownership of Miramax.

Paramount Global (known as ViacomCBS at the time) has succeeded Viacom and CBS Corporation since 2019, and Sony Pictures Entertainment has been the owner of Columbia Pictures and TriStar since 1989. But what if Paramount Global co-owned Columbia and TriStar with Sony Pictures; similar to how it now co-owns Miramax with BeIN Media Group?
