ELP Communications

Background
ELP Communications (formerly known as T.A.T. Communications Company, Embassy Television, Embassy Telecommunications, and Embassy Communications) was an American television production company that originally began in 1974.

1st Logo (1979-1982)
Nicknames: "Lost Star", "80s Star"

Logo: An screen first appears. The screen then starts to zoom out to reveal that it's a Scanimated star, as it reveals a black background with the text "TAT" in lined letters and "COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" in Century Gothic white. The star then descends and sandwiches itself between the first T and A. A second star appears, this time going in between the A and last T.

Variant: For syndication, the text "Distributed By" in the same font as the "Communications Company" appears above the logo

FX/SFX: Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: A poorly done 12-note synth theme that was composed by associate producer John Maxwell Anderson.

Availability: Seen on original 1975-1980 airings of One Day At A Time and The Jeffersons. Nowadays, this logo is plastered by every other Sony logo starting with Embassy.

Legacy: This logo is the most rarest real logo ever.

2nd Logo (1980-1982)
Nicknames: "Bursting Star"; "Shooting Star"

Logo: On a blue background, we see the print TAT logo. Then, a white star burst onto the last T of TAT. Variant: On The Jeffersons episode "Me and Mr.G", the background is orange and the rectangle is navy blue.

FX/SFX: Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: The same as the last logo.

Availability: Same as the last logo but during the 1980-1982 season

Final Note
In 1982, T.A.T Communications Company was renamed to Embassy Television and on syndication, Embassy Telecommunications. The logo has started to be plastered by that logo. Soon, the company was renamed again to ELP Communications and has now been plastered by Sony Pictures Television.
