How did we miss this for nearly two years?

Based on the comments, this seems to be a reconstruction

Damn! Sure fooled me. It certainly didn't look like it could be faked. Reconstructors these days are becoming more and more sophisticated...

Most reconstructions are missing a key element that is usually missed on the real logo we have a partial recording of. The “C” in Communications is larger than the rest of the word and looks slightly different than the rest of the letters, you can see this in the last few frames when it fades into the CBS logo.

This may be the case with “Company” as well but until we find another legitimate recording it’s hard to tell since the star obstructs that part of the word.

Which is why we need to go a step further if someone claims to have the actual thing. We need some extra verification steps when that time comes.

I found an 80’s Columbia plaster which retains most of the theme: https://youtu.be/HUy3Yr4XZuw

Screams "fake" to me. Note the fake filter being applied over the real one, plus the changing aspect ratio.

Yep, it's a fake too. Word of advice: check the title and descriptions. Most of these actually give away the fact that these are remakes. (usually "PLEASE READ THE VIDEO/CHANNEL DESCRIPTION" disclaimers put at the end)

I think these videos should be required to have "Remake" or "Recreation" prominent in the video's title. ESPECIALLY TAT ones. This is tied for my first biggest pet peeve about that logo. The other one being people saying they have TAT and some other logo, when they are really referencing the in-credit notice on many shows.

In my opinion, of all the TAT fakes/recreations, the one linked at the top of the thread maybe the closest to looking like the real thing, aside from the “C” in the “COMMUNICATIONS” text being in the wrong size.

This recreation comes from someone who remembers seeing the logo back in the day and seems to be the most legitimate looking with the second star and uppercase C in Communications which most recreations lack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lyBVdD2FU2vah9Wy53mfLSRcjRXrrwpS/view?usp=drivesdk

For the video on the first reply, isn't the star supposed to rotate as it is moving?
