Nicknames: "Lost Café Star", "80s Café Star"

Logo: We see the orange TAT Scanimated star zoom down into a black background. Then, other stars burst from the left and zoom to the right. As this happens, the text "TAT" and "COMMUNICATIONS CAFE" in Century Gothic appear. A final smaller star appears like the other stars and but turns big when it reaches the first T. Closing Variant: Basically a shortened version of the above except the TAT logo is already there.

Music/Sounds: A lush piano, drum, choir, and string fanfare. The 1999 Pathe logo would go on to use this theme. The closing version is a shortened version removing the second piano tune.
