Logo descriptions by Jason Jones, James Fabiano, Matt Williams, Ryan Mead, and Michael Bode
Logo captures by Eric S. and V of Doom
Editions by V of Doom
Background: Colex Enterprises was formed in 1984 as a joint venture between CoCOlumbia Pictures Television (now Sony Pictures Television) and LexLEXington Broadcast Services Company (a.k.a. LBS Communications, Inc.) to distribute classic Screen Gems/CPT shows, being dissolved in 1988. The name is part of Sony Pictures Television.
(1984-1988)
Nicknames: "Colex Game Music", "Merging Bars", "Star Writer"
Logo: On a blue background two sets of three red lines come from either side and merge into one set of three. A blue "Colex" written in cursive drops down onto the lines and at the bottom a four-pointed star passes, leaving behind the word "ENTERPRISES."
B&W Variant: A B&W variant of this logo was used on prints of classic SG shows in B&W.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Logo seems to be totally made of '80s computer effects. The star has a "shadow" effect.
Music/Sounds: A oversynthesized 9-note tune, two pairs of four ascending notes (second higher than the last) ends with one last high note and a "ping" when the star finishes writing out "Enterprises." Sounds like MIDI music, or something out of an 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System game.
Availability: Is ultra rare as it would most likely be replaced by other syndicators or later Columbia logos. However, on Encore's Mystery Channel's print of The Canterville Ghost (1986) this was retained, even after the '92 Columbia logo (and more recently, the Sony Pictures Television International "Cylinder")! It was also recently found on a repeat of Father Knows Best on TV Land, hulu.com and on DVD. What's Happening Now!! also had this logo, but replaced it with the 1989 LBS logo and the Sony Pictures Television logo for now.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the music and animation might not sit well with people, but it's possibly a favorite of many.
