Analysis Of The Columbia Pictures Logo

This logo is extremly simple in how it's animated and pieced together. In the image of the logo we see a lady standing on a platform of steps holding a torch or a star. With a dense background of clouds behind her, almost like a mushroom cloud. The clouds seem to congregate to the point of the star/torch.

I believe that there maybe 4 or 5 layers in this image.
The first being the sky in the background, the second being the clouds the third being the lady standing on the platform the fourth being the star or torch that she is holding in her hand. And the possible fifth layer would be that the lady and her platform are two seperate layers. I don't fully believe this to be so, as the detail of the bottom of her skirt looks as though it actually is flowing over the platform.

I guess the number of people who think the modern version looks like an atom-bomb went off behind her can be counted on the fingers of one hand. To me it's weirdly obvious.
