Colex Enterprises was formed on January 30, 1984 as a joint venture between Columbia Pictures Television (now "Sony Pictures Television") and Lexington Broadcast Services (later known as "LBS Communications", now "Fremantle") to distribute classic Screen Gems/CPT shows and TV movies. All distribution went through LBS. When Coca-Cola Telecommunications was created on November 24, 1986, CCT represented Colex and took distribution of the Screen Gems programs distributed by Colex, thus closing the company. CCT closed its own doors on January 1, 1988, ten days after the establishment of Columbia Pictures Entertainment (now "Sony Pictures Entertainment"), and most of the library was later transferred into the reorganized Columbia Pictures Television Distribution. Currently, the name is part of Sony Pictures Television.
Visuals: On a blue background, two sets of three red lines come from either side and merge into one set of three. "Colex", written in a cursive font based on the Coca-Cola logo in a white and blue gradient color, drops down onto the lines and at the bottom, a four-pointed star passes, leaving the word "E N T E R P R I S E S" in white. The shadow of the logo's formation and the finished product can be seen on the background's "floor".
Variants:
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: A synthesized nine-note tune: two pairs of four ascending notes (the second pair is higher than the first) ending with one last high note and a "ping" when the star finishes writing out "Enterprises". It sounds much like an early Nintendo game. Appears to have been composed by Andrew Holtzman (who also composed the 1984 LBS logo introduced that year) with the "Celesta" preset on a Casio MT-40 keyboard.
