As an iconic image of America, Columbia was commonly used in World War I, but she was displaced by the [[Statue of Liberty]] in the 1920s, and is today seldom seen, save in heritage uses like the logo for Colombia films. The name without the image remains more common, as in the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) or in the space shuttle Columbia, which exploded on February 1, 2003.
