T.A.T Communications Company 

A television production company founded in 1974 by the late Norman Lear and talent agent Jerry Perenchio which produced a bunch of successful sitcoms during its period of activation, and then it was bought out by a bunch of companies during the early 1980s.

The company is particularly infamous in the logo community for its on-screen logo that was likely introduced in 1979, a logo that still wasn't fully discovered as of today (only 2 recordings of its jingle and a split-second of "Cheesy Star" footage exists). It has also been theorized there is another variant of the logo dubbed the "Rising Star" that takes place on a blue background and with a white star, however no footage of that has ever surfaced.

There is a chance of finding the full uncut logo in early 2024, regarding a forthcoming digitization of some 1979-1980 One Day at a Time tapes discovered at the Syracuse University in New York. The logo community has all their fingers crossed for this event.
Guy 1: Damn, how come the T.A.T Communications Company logo still isn't found...
Guy 2: I don't know! Fingers crossed for the Syracuse tapes though!!!

A television production company founded in 1974 by the late Norman Lear and talent agent Jerry Perenchio that produced The Jeffersons and One Day at a Time, among others. In 1976, T.A.T. formed its own distribution division. On January 6, 1982, T.A.T. Communications Company was reincorporated as "Embassy Communications, Inc." and renamed the T.A.T. production division as "Embassy Television" (now ELP Communications) with the acquisition of Avco Embassy Pictures Corporation by Lear and Perenchio, while the distribution division of this company was renamed "Embassy Telecommunications". T.A.T. Communications Company is currently known as "ELP Communications", and serves as an in-name-only unit of Sony Pictures Television.

The company is particularly infamous in the logo community for its on-screen logo that was likely introduced in 1979, a logo that was fully discovered for the very first time on December 28, 2024. A theory of that there is another variant of the logo dubbed the "Rising Star" (that takes place on a blue background and with a white star) started spreading thereafter.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
