* On ''Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter,'' the logo is silent.
'''Availability:''' Very rare,
*Originally seen on 1987 episodes of ''The Real Ghostbusters'', season 3 of ''Punky Brewster'', and ''Dinosaucers'', among other shows, as well on the TV movie incarnation of ''Dennis the Menace'' (a.k.a. ''Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter''), but was plastered (along with the LBS logo) by the SPT logo on recent prints, however the "Coca Cola Telecommunications Presents" text at the beginning was intact (on AT&T's now defunct streaming service Screen Pack, the opening text was deleted). It is preserved on the Vidmark Entertainment VHS and Laserdisc releases, however. An international print of this, however, replaced the whole logo combo with the 2009 Cookie Jar Entertainment logo.
*The logo was plastered on USA and Fox Family Channel reruns of ''The Real Ghostbusters'', as well as the more recent Sony and [[Time-Life Video|Time-Life]] DVD releases, though it was spotted in Canada on Teletoon Retro airings of two episodes of the said show, "Ain't NASA-sarily So" and "Doctor, Doctor".
*Columbia reportedly put the 1988 and 1989 CPT logos at the end of ''Punky Brewster'' reruns when they were more common, and the logo was plastered by the 1993 CPTD or 1996 CTTD logos on the Family Channel (now Freeform) reruns and it hasn't been aired since.
*More recently, the logo was spotted on a bonus ''Sylvanian Families'' episode (after a 1990 "Kid in Bed" plaster!) on the [[United American Video Corporation|UAV]]/[[Sterling Entertainment Group|Sterling]] ''Care Bears'' DVD ''To the Rescue'' (now out of print), on the special ''Meet Julie'' on [[DIC Entertainment (France/US)|DiC]]'s KEWL Cartoons website (later taken down, but could be accessed through Feedage.com until KEWL Cartoons shut down completely).
*This logo has also turned up on at least one local rerun episode of ''Hardcastle and McCormick'', following both the [[Cannell Entertainment|Stephen J. Cannell Productions]] and the 1987 [[LBS Communications|LBS Distribution]] logos.
*Recently, it was retained on DHX Media Retro's YouTube Channel print of ''Starcom: The U.S. Space Force'', after the Cookie Jar logo and is retained on Mill Creek's DVD release.

*It also appeared on Boomerang airings of ''Dinosaucers'', followed by the SPT logo.

Coca-Cola Telecommunications was a short-lived television distribution arm of The Coca-Cola Company (former owner of Columbia Pictures) that specialized in first-run syndicated programming. It was established on November 24, 1986 under Columbia Pictures Television via a merger between CPT's first-run division and The Television Program Source. A production division was formed 2 months later in January 1987. On December 21, 1987, Coke spun-off its entertainment business and sold it to Tri-Star Pictures, Inc., who then renamed the business to "Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc." (now "Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.") and merged the theatrical banners. 10 days later, on New Year's Eve, Coca-Cola Telecommunications closed its doors and was folded into the reorganized Columbia Pictures Television Distribution (now Sony Pictures Television). Today, Sony distributes Punky Brewster in the United States, while NBCUniversal Syndication Studios (formerly "NBCUniversal Television Distribution") owns the show and handles global rights. It also owns The Real Ghostbusters, Dinosaucers, and Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter (international rights of the latter, however, lie with WildBrain, previously Cookie Jar Entertainment), while Sylvanian Families and Starcom: The U.S. Space Force are now owned by WildBrain.
Nicknames: "The Coke Box", "The Coke Swirl", "The Coca-Cola Box"
Logo: On a black background is a red box with the Coca-Cola "Dynamic Ribbon" in it outlined in black (the space under it is decorated with horizontal black lines). Under it is the following text:
In both the main text and byline, "Coca-Cola" appears as its corporate logo, and the second parts (in Friz Quadrata) are sandwiched in between 2 thin lines and both have a larger 1st "T".
Variants:
FX/SFX: Just the logo fading.
Music/Sounds: A light synthesized 6-note flute tune that sounds somewhat similar to the flute solo at the start of "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Very rare, due to its short lifespan, and this logo was only used for less than a year.
Editor's Note: This is a very soothing logo. It's a favorite to many, despite its short lifespan. This also briefly replaced the Colex logo on shows distributed from them.
