Hey all, here's a fact check: - This is real. Sources verify that The Jeffersons aired multiple times in July 1980, and this recording could be from any of those. It’s currently believed to be from July 31, 1980, but again it might be any of the other airings. The tape was also broadcasted multiple times in Discord servers. I thought it was fake too at first, but everything is good here. - This is a Betamax tape, not a VHS. Why is this important? Because it's beautifully ironic: Search efforts have always focused on VHS recordings since that was what most households of the times had, leading to getting absolutely nowhere since the original partial find, yet the full logo was on a Beta, the route that most searchers totally ignored. It's a rather amusing failure in the find of this. - Everyone says it took 20 years to find it, because the OFFICIAL search began in the year 2004, but this logo hadn't been seen since 1982. So really, it took 42 years to recover, just only the last 20 were intentional. - The variant with a TV tube and blue background, known as the "Rising Star," DOES NOT EXIST. There are multiple people who claim that another logo is still lost, it's not. "Rising Star" birthed from the original 2004 post where an image was shared, but that image was merely a mockup designed from TAT's print logo. It was a combination of 4 real logos: Embassy, PITS Films, the TAT logo as seen in this video, and TAT's print logo. 4 real things all became mixed up into 1 fake closing logo, as nobody can accurately recall a 5-second animation at the end of a show from 40+ years ago. The search is over, there is NOT another logo to be found. - The find here, and the original partial find from 2018 (thank you Michael Pannoni), both happen to be accidents. Both people are tape collectors who just so happened to own a tape with the lucky orange star, and that is a beautiful thing. It's also really funny that all of the active effort put in by CLG/AVID was thwarted and went nowhere thanks to this find. Excellent work here, dude! What a way to send off 2024 and start the year off. You should be proud of yourself as a collector. Keep on collecting! For everyone, let this be a lesson that Betamax isn’t to be underestimated... there may be more discoveries waiting to be found on this forgotten format.
So many crazy things happened in 2024, but I don't think ANYONE was expecting the finding of rarest logo of all time to be one of them. You my friend, are a hero.
This year alone should be remembered for lost media being found. This logo, the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet finding its band, and a few other interesting things.
@@AngusArtEntertainmentReal; it is hard to tell whether the many good things or bad things that happened this year overpower each other to decide if this year is worth remembering
the *holy grail* of lost logos. *finally found.* the *real* deal. the *actual* TAT logo, *no joke* whatsoever. never thought I'd see the day the search for this audiovisual artifact would *finally* come to an *end.* what the actual *fuck.*
It's like finding Bigfoot in an abandoned warehouse. Well, in this case, it WAS found in a warehouse. More specifically one full of Betamax and VHS tapes in San Francisco. We should thank the guys from that warehouse, too.
I have no words. Just the sheer thought of having a complete version of this be uncovered at all, after 20+ years of searching, seemed nearly improbable, but it has led up to this moment. This was the surprise of the year, and what a way to end it off.
Holy shit. Through all the remakes, recreations, and reconstructions, the search for this goddamn logo finally comes to an end, as I live and breathe. Let 2024 be remembered as the Year of the Rising Star.
(Note: The following is written by a '90s kid alter-ego of mine.) I remember seeing this logo on The Jeffersons on WPIX in the '80s!! I always loved it!!
Congrats on finding what was lost finally unearthed from its FULL obscurity. After seeing countless recreations and trolling videos involving the lost TAT logo, now I can finally breathe. You have my kudos for your BIGGEST logo discovery yet.🏆
I'm surprised nobody pointed out the irony of this logo being discovered on a Beta tape. Beta as in the format made by Sony. Sony as in Sony Pictures Television. The company that doesn't want you to know T.A.T. existed.
They got tired of people of asking a question they didn't know the answer to. But it's embarrassing that it took a collector to prove this logo existed when in theory, it should've been found in an archive.
To be honest, this is incredible. We have been looking for this logo for years and years, and now we have finally found it. I am so happy that this happened.
The last time I saw this classic rising star TAT logo was back in 1994 when WGN reran The Jeffersons. I was 8 years old in elementary school at the time. Saw it only 3 times and never saw this logo, UNTIL NOW. It's been 31 years since I saw this logo. Thank you Bored's VHS Pile for the long lost TAT logo that I haven't seen in decades! You are a true hero when it comes to finding rare to extinct production company logos of my childhood.
That's where I saw it, too. TBS had the rights to reruns concurrently, but they only had Columbia logos on it and all the other Norman Lear shows they reran then except all in the family which still had Viacom logos.
@@chriswideman1218 i've seen Jeffersons clips that plastered the TAT in-credit notice with Embassy logos. It started even before Columbia got into the picture.
TBS didn't do anything. Columbia is the one who provided the tapes to them. Columbia is the one who cut off all the logos and had to be persuaded to put them back. Even then, they're not consistent about it.
2024 was an amazing year for finding lost media and this is indeed a wonderful and amazing find! Figured the star was orange looking based on the partial TAT logo found, but this is wonderful to see! Thanks for finding this and thanks for your service in preserving such a rare logo!
2022 was when we found the event versions of Training and Level 1 from Toonami's Trapped in Hyperspace game. Given the way I acted when that search was going (2017; the finding of the event versions of those two was an afterthought when Turner's CDN got opened), I doubt we'll get event Level 5 or, better yet, the post-event versions. At least I have Vice Terhune to keep me company!
Holy... daggone... smokes. You have finally unveiled a rare logo that was partially found on January 1, 2018, and ultimately became fully found just 7 whole years later, just almost putting 2024 to rest with this rare find! Bored, you truly are my precious little hero. This REALLY needs to be put into the Audiovisual Identity Database.
i'm literally shitting bricks as i get excited about this, knowing that it's actually real and not just a recreation or a fake, i would like you delightfully thank you, Bored's VHS Pile for blessing us all with this very real T.A.T. Communications Co. Logo, you're a true hero my guy.
0:19 OH. MY. GOD. I AM ACTUALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE ACTUAL ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. FINALLY, THE REAL TAT STAR LOGO HAS BEEN FOUND. AS A LOGO FAN EVER SINCE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD, BORED, I OFFICIALLY PROCLAIM YOU AS AN ABSOLUTE HERO IN THE LOGO COMMUNITY.
An absolutely fantastic find, Bored. You should be proud of yourself. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve been doing preserving all the tapes you found in that warehouse, we really do appreciate your hard work and it really has paid off now you’ve found a logo lost for well over 2 decades. I’m looking forward to anything else you might come across on the other tapes.
When i've joined the search of this logo back in like 2022 (or before, like in 2021 for example), i was one of the few who tried and tried to go into some deep mysteries on the logo, contacting someone that is helpful and that it isn't Sony or WGN, etc. Despite some alternatives it was quite hard, so hard that i went inactive on that server (i did manage to return at some point but that didn't help that much.) But since the whole search is over, i like to say thank you very much for finding this whole thing... and as this got surfaced on the web, hopefully more would be out there something like this or other variants that it was rumoured throughout the wait and the hunts of it. (such as the different star movements and the ''TV Tube'' variant here and there, unless this is the only one it ever got made.) But until then, thank you very much for one Jeffersons tape that you have which includes an TAT logo, i appreciate you very much.
@@C1tro3nManiac CBS wasn't supposed to. The October 21, 1980 airing only had the logo cut out due to something time related. I'm not sure how it was called but... I'll just call it "time related cuts".
Holy, at long last folks! We got the full TAT logo before 2025 starts! What a huge win, and a way to end off this year!!! You're our greatest legendary hero of logo finders, ever to be seen.
EXCUSE ME, SIR?! HOW?! THIS IS INSANE!!! Finding out that this is the real deal has all of us going wild! And I thought finding the 1924 Columbia Pictures logos was insane enough! Congrats on ending this long search! Ladies and gentlemen, we have OFFICIALLY reached a very satisfying conclusion to this quest! 😮👍
For the past nearly 7 years, ever since Pepsi 9072 uploaded a partial TAT logo, everyone in the logo community wondered what the finished logo looked like. TAT became a hot topic in the logo community, and a plethora of "TAT logo found" videos and recreations of the full TAT logo were made. 7 years later, and the logo community's most wanted has finally been found at long last! The time has come, and the time is now! This is a historical moment in the logo community! The search for this TAT logo (in its full length) has been going on for nearly 7 years, and now the quest has finally been put to rest! The days of "TAT logo found" prank videos and TAT logo reconstructions are now over! This is the day we all have been waiting for ever since pannoni4 uploaded a VHS tape of commercial breaks recorded off CBS in the fall of 1980, which included the partial TAT logo that came after an episode of One Day at a Time, which was then uploaded by Pepsi 9072/Broken Saw on the very first day of 2018. New Year's Day 2018 to near the end of 2024. That's nearly 7 whole years of such a saga that we all thought was never going to end! No more searching for this logo! It's over! It's finally over! Well, at least for this version of the logo. Next, we need to find the "Rising Star" logo, which is another alleged variant of the logo of which reconstructions were made from 2015 to 2017, prior to the discovery of the partial TAT logo at the beginning of 2018.
I seriously doubt the Rising Star logo exists. Probably just a mandela effect. If it does get found, I'll likely go happy go lucky for the rest of my life.
I didn't know that I love love The Jeffersons and Good Times, and I didn't that was on TV after they ended before the theme song I think Sony makes the show and Good Times reshow older episodes
while i'm not really involved in the logo community (although i did used to watch a bunch of logo-related stuff when i was younger) i find it incredible that something that remained so obscure for so many years was finally resurfaced, all because a bunch of people got together and directed a ton of dedication to it. this is what i love about the lost media community, that anything, no matter how small, is treated with the utmost importance and respect and is worthy of being found and treated as art. on the other hand though, i have to wonder how and why the full version of this logo was lost for so many years. it really seems like something that would have been found and uploaded a very long time ago, but it seems to have just slipped into obscurity. it's very intriguing and kind of unsettling how something like a logo can just... vanish for so many years.
This is a tremendous moment. I did not grow up knowing this logo watching TV, but I have watched this unfold over the years. (I did know the PITS logo in childhood and beyond and I am amused by those who have been interested through its extinction). 7 years ago when the partial discovery happened I was hoping someone would find this. This is the magic of TH-cam and the Internet, IMO. To close these memory holes. Thank you for this, because a lot of people who are interested in the way media was deployed can see how it happened. I even like that it was The Jeffersons where this was discovered.
PITS was some thing I never heard about or saw until the Internet told me about it. I knew about the TAT logo without the Internet telling me about it, I just needed to find confirmation that it existed. That confirmation is here.
Now let's hope that DTS Waterdrop trailer gets found soon, even if it means it's just a crappy quality movie theatre VHS camcorder recording from 1996. At least we'll know the damn thing exists.
@@DLCOrganization to bring some context here (it might be a bit long but here's what i know) Between 2011 and 2022, the logo community was trying to recreate the recalled THX cimarron audio. Since that happened, there was only the microcassette audio footage. but after 10 years and 6 months, and some footages of the incomplete variant, a TH-camr by the name of magicfly2001 uploaded the recalled audio footage. and since then, someone made an original audio footage after it was uploaded. that's what i meant.
@@DLCOrganization cimarron is the name of a thx trailer used in the late 1980s. it originally used a different audio until it got complaints for it being too loud and so the audio got replaced.
were ending the year with something amazing first 2 lost songs got found and now the legendary piece of lost media got found :D this needs more than 30K views this deserves to have over 1M views
The T.A.T logo has been finally found before the end of 2024, you think about how it was preserved but if they didn’t preserve it then the logo will be still lost but now it is found the actual logo instead of people creating the logo saying “Oh it’s real!” But it is not the actual logo that is used on The Jeffersons and One Day at Time. Thank you Bored for finding the actual logo that didn’t get cut off by CBS logo.
Holy shit! what an amazing find! I remember back in the late 2000s to early 2010s when I use to go on CLG Wiki constantly this was the most elusive logo of all time. It seemed damn near impossible to get full footage of it and there were so many fakes and recreations. This is a historic moment for the logo community right here.
All I can say is, "WOW!" It's not uncommon knowledge that when something is lost, it doesn't mean its gone. What a great late Xmas present to the Lost Media Community. Bravo!
I've downloaded and edited out all but the logo itself. I'll be uploading it with profuse thanks to Bored's VHS Pile; I'm certainly NOT going to take credit for this.
YES FINALLY, WE FOUND IT!!!!!!!! After so many months of trying to find the TAT logo and many people tried to do retakes of the logo, it's finally FOUND, I can't believe someone would actually find one of the rarest logo in the history on the internet, this well truly mark a history in the logo community! Thank you so much for finding this rare lost piece of media!
A very good and absolutely wonderful Christmas gift for the logo community, who were searching for this logo for years. Congratulations, guys! Good job, and Merry Christmas 👍🎄🎁 🎅
Wow, what a way to end 2024. One of the biggest holy grails of lost media got found after two decades of searching, and not to mention all of the remakes and parodies. Nice work, everyone! :D

The search for this TAT logo (in its full length) has been going on for nearly 7 years, and now the quest has finally been put to rest! The days of "TAT logo found" prank videos and TAT logo reconstructions are now over! This is the day we all have been waiting for ever since pannoni4 uploaded a VHS tape of commercial breaks recorded off CBS in the fall of 1980, which included the partial TAT logo that came after an episode of One Day at a Time, which was then uploaded by Pepsi 9072/Broken Saw on the very first day of 2018. New Year's Day 2018 to near the end of 2024. That's nearly 7 whole years of such a saga that we all thought was never going to end! No more searching for this logo! It's over! It's finally over! Well, at least for this version of the logo. Next, we need to find the "Rising Star" logo, which is another alleged variant of the logo of which reconstructions were made from 2015 to 2017, prior to the discovery of the partial TAT logo at the beginning of 2018.
I seriously doubt the Rising Star logo exists. Probably just a mandela effect.
If it does get found, I'll likely go happy go lucky for the rest of my life.
It’s been going on way longer than that. The CLG was trying to find this thing _twenty years ago!_
That’s how big of a deal this is.
This is real?!? 😯😃
It’s gotta be a dream…
If the Rising Star logo DOES exist, it's likely a successor to this logo.
I didn't know that I love love The Jeffersons and Good Times, and I didn't that was on TV after they ended before the theme song I think Sony makes the show and Good Times reshow older episodes
Guess you could say, TAT's all folks!
Aaahh take my like
WE GOT THE TAT LOGO BEFORE GTA6000000000
What a find!
hello :)
@ hi Hahn
it's gonna take a lot, and i do mean a LOT until GTA 6000000000 lol
*shows the Airplane! poster*
DO YOU SEE THE MOST TERRIFYING THING EVER
DO YOU
DO YOU!!!!!
OMG! You finally found the true real TAT logo! Thank you so much!
“Special Delivery Service, mission accomplished!” - Postman Pat
But we still got CBS!
At least they didn't screw up and cut the TAT logo out like that October 21, 1980 airing of "One Day at a Time".
“What a useful little champ! Good old Bertha, she’s done it again!” - Mr Willmake, Bertha.
We did it! The holy grail of logos has now been fully unearthed!
Rest happy, my fellow logoheads.
I am!
There is another...
Come again, X-Po?
@@plushblueep
DTS...
Oh yeah.
Woah, this is huge for the logo community! Finally the search is over and the 20+ years journey has come to a close.
HOLY FUCK!!! Absolutely *legendary* way to end 2024! CONGRATS ON THE FIND!!!
It’s been a years since he found the full logo of TAT Communications company Chessy star, Thank you for finding this! Great Job! 😄
while i'm not really involved in the logo community (although i did used to watch a bunch of logo-related stuff when i was younger) i find it incredible that something that remained so obscure for so many years was finally resurfaced, all because a bunch of people got together and directed a ton of dedication to it. this is what i love about the lost media community, that anything, no matter how small, is treated with the utmost importance and respect and is worthy of being found and treated as art.
on the other hand though, i have to wonder how and why the full version of this logo was lost for so many years. it really seems like something that would have been found and uploaded a very long time ago, but it seems to have just slipped into obscurity. it's very intriguing and kind of unsettling how something like a logo can just... vanish for so many years.
If only Norman Lear was alive to see this...
He did, he made the company and logo.
kinda a dumb comment to put considering yeah, as you said he founded it.
Well, he died in 2023 and the logo was found in 2024, so... that's why I said it.
@@TheLogoKid did you even read the damn comment
@@begaalternativeproductions put the iPad down lil bro, if he *founded* the company. That means he (or some of his producers) made the logo.
This is a tremendous moment.
I did not grow up knowing this logo watching TV, but I have watched this unfold over the years. (I did know the PITS logo in childhood and beyond and I am amused by those who have been interested through its extinction).
7 years ago when the partial discovery happened I was hoping someone would find this.
This is the magic of TH-cam and the Internet, IMO. To close these memory holes. Thank you for this, because a lot of people who are interested in the way media was deployed can see how it happened. I even like that it was The Jeffersons where this was discovered.
PITS was some thing I never heard about or saw until the Internet told me about it. I knew about the TAT logo without the Internet telling me about it, I just needed to find confirmation that it existed. That confirmation is here.
In 1999, someone from the Closing logo group described it as Cats meowing a car horn
It pretty much plays out like I expected it to! But it's great we managed to solve the mystery.
Now let's hope that DTS Waterdrop trailer gets found soon, even if it means it's just a crappy quality movie theatre VHS camcorder recording from 1996.
At least we'll know the damn thing exists.
i expected it to play like this as well…huh.
and with that, we officially end of the year with single-handedly the greatest logo find of all time
Greatest year for overall lost media _as a whole_ ngl.
This has to be one of the rarest logo founds for a while now and of course since the THX cimarron recalled audio was found as well.
...whatever the heck _THAT_ is. (LOL)
@@DLCOrganization to bring some context here (it might be a bit long but here's what i know)
Between 2011 and 2022, the logo community was trying to recreate the recalled THX cimarron audio. Since that happened, there was only the microcassette audio footage. but after 10 years and 6 months, and some footages of the incomplete variant, a TH-camr by the name of magicfly2001 uploaded the recalled audio footage. and since then, someone made an original audio footage after it was uploaded. that's what i meant.
@@NS04_Official -- Well, thanks for the full context,
But now, the question is... _"WHAT EXACTLY IS . . ._ "cimarron audio"?
@@DLCOrganization cimarron is the name of a thx trailer used in the late 1980s. it originally used a different audio until it got complaints for it being too loud and so the audio got replaced.
We still have to to find the DTS water drops video footage.
were ending the year with something amazing
first 2 lost songs got found
and now the legendary piece of lost media got found :D
this needs more than 30K views
this deserves to have over 1M views
Or at the very least 100,000.
@@Emerald05Productions that too
The T.A.T logo has been finally found before the end of 2024, you think about how it was preserved but if they didn’t preserve it then the logo will be still lost but now it is found the actual logo instead of people creating the logo saying “Oh it’s real!” But it is not the actual logo that is used on The Jeffersons and One Day at Time. Thank you Bored for finding the actual logo that didn’t get cut off by CBS logo.
this is such a MASSIVE find like a LOOOOOW T.A.T FADE
Imagine if Sony got a low TAT fade
Nobody can think of a better way to end the year than this, this is what we all needed
TAT'S AMAZING!!
NO ITS NOT
*slaps you in the face*
I see what you did there
@@AWB-Official-u1b yeah for real.
Fox-Pixar Media needs to stop
Ba-dum kish
Between this and Subways of your Mind, I have a feeling that 2024 is going to go down in history as one of the most important years in lost media.
T.A.T. is by far the most talked about logo on social media!
I’d give that award to 20th Century Fox honestly
That's a fair point.
@@MilkywaveEntertainment hi milkywave
@@MilkywaveEntertainment nah, Klasky Csupo
If this is truly how the search concludes, then I guess it was worth the wait.
Holy shit! what an amazing find! I remember back in the late 2000s to early 2010s when I use to go on CLG Wiki constantly this was the most elusive logo of all time. It seemed damn near impossible to get full footage of it and there were so many fakes and recreations. This is a historic moment for the logo community right here.
December 29th, 2024
The day the entire Logo Community rejoiced
Depend of the jet lag, for someguys it was 28th
Just like my home statepiece. Cape Cod
For me, where I am, it was the afternoon of 29th December 2024.
@@RegionalMediaArchiveAU For me, it's tonight in Canada of December 28th of 2024.
Afternoon of December 30,2024
All I can say is, "WOW!" It's not uncommon knowledge that when something is lost, it doesn't mean its gone. What a great late Xmas present to the Lost Media Community. Bravo!
I like the fact that the logo has been finally a found, but it's a shame it's going to the category of extinct logos
Well, holy shit. This is an absolutely historic find.
Here we are, face to face...
This year has been nuts for lost media.
Yeah, and it'll be remembered as TAT -(get it)-
I reckon Broken Saw will be uploading this very soon.
I've downloaded and edited out all but the logo itself. I'll be uploading it with profuse thanks to Bored's VHS Pile; I'm certainly NOT going to take credit for this.
i can tell that cbs announcer is walter cronkite
This is truly a Christmas miracle.
Yes it is
i was not expecting this to be found in 2024 lmao
is it finally over? after countless years of research and trolling?
Pretty much.
YES FINALLY, WE FOUND IT!!!!!!!! After so many months of trying to find the TAT logo and many people tried to do retakes of the logo, it's finally FOUND, I can't believe someone would actually find one of the rarest logo in the history on the internet, this well truly mark a history in the logo community! Thank you so much for finding this rare lost piece of media!
A very good and absolutely wonderful Christmas gift for the logo community, who were searching for this logo for years. Congratulations, guys! Good job, and Merry Christmas 👍🎄🎁 🎅
Finally!
After Years Of Searching
We Finally Got The Complete Version Of The Logo!!
Thank You For Finding This Master!
God Bless You!
You've finally found the complete T.A.T. logo!!!!!!
you are definitely a godsend for finally finding this damn logo, great job
In the words of Eggman in SA1:
"No way! I can't believe this!"
what a way to end 2024. one of the rarest finds ever.
Not THE rarest...
The DTS Waterdrop trailer...
@ this is *one* of the rarest finds, not *the* rarest find
This is literally the best late Christmas present ever.
an incredible way for the logo community to end off 2024. you rls a legend for this
my eyes are violently twitching
I WAS ALMOST IN TEARS OKAY AAAAÀAAA
BEST LATE CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR I NEED TO CRY TEARS OF JOY-----
the search is over, we found it.
Yep, the full T.A.T logo is here! Now all that's left to find is the DTS Waterdrop trailer, which is still lost to this day.
forgot about rising star?
That one's fake, @@Feld767.
Suddenly “You would have better luck at finding the TAT Communications logo” has lost all meaning, because it has been found.
Boring's VHS Pile definitely got lucky with this one.
At last, the real and full T.A.T. logo is *finally* found! 😆🏆
YAHOO!!!!! What a GREAT way to end 2024 with a BANG by finding the ACTUAL FULL version of the T.A.T. logo!
I’ve been used to hearing the full jingle and seeing recreation of the logo but actually seeing the full logo is so crazy to me. what a find
We waited 7 years for this. It was honestly worth it.
Bro found the TAT logo before GTA 6
The fact that it was found by accident is incredible and insane!!!
We literally found TAT before GTA 6
2024 is truly the year of Lostwave being found… wave.
this isn't lostwave
The concept remains, though.
WE HAD OFFICALLY FOUND THE LOGO BUT NOW ALL OF THE VARIANT THEORIES ARE NOW DEBUNKED AS THE MANDELA EFFECT
*eyes glow red*
We still got the "Rising Star" to find. It could be real, it could be fake. You never know.
I doubt it's real, but... who knows.
@@WildDiamond07 There's no such thing as "Rising Star" it's a mockup
A star made of cheese? That makes synthy sounds at the same time??? satisfactory
I guess you could probably take a bite out of it if it wasn’t partial.
i can’t stop watching this. why is this so mesmerizing?
Probably because the thing that has been lost for over 20 years has been found.
because you're 12 and you likely have a neurodevelopmental disorder (no offense)
2024 has been a banner year for lost media from all angles, and it’s still not done. Happy early new year everyone!
Akuma Mortis Immortal and the TAT logo were the iconic ones for me
After about a whole fuckton of years finding it, it's about time we finally got the new TAT logo. This truly is a (late) Christmas Miracle!
My big siblings enjoyed The Jeffersons on syndication. Man, an peaked comedy classic. Wheezie!! It's that a TAT Rising Star logo? No freaking way!!!
Wow, what a way to end 2024. One of the biggest holy grails of lost media got found after two decades of searching, and not to mention all of the remakes and parodies. Nice work, everyone! :D
