Background

Rastar Television, Inc. (pronounced "Raystar") was the television production division of Columbia Pictures subsidiary, Rastar Films, Inc., run by Ray Stark. The division ceased production in 2000 after Stark's final film, the TV movie Alley Cats Strike!, and became an in-name-only unit of Columbia TriStar Television (now Sony Pictures Television); the film division was folded a year later.

Logo (February 20, 1988-March 18, 2000)

Visuals: We see the name "RASTAR" in a bold font with a cut-out shape of a star in the second letter "A".

Trivia: The logo was the Rastar logo from the early 1980s as originally seen on theatrical trailers.

Variants:

The logo appears in-credit on The Hollywood Game.
On Annie: A Royal Adventure, the logo is on a black background with the letter "A" above it, the word "PRODUCTION" and the text "In Association With" in a News Gothic font.
On Alley Cats Strike!, the logo is black and is placed on a light gray background. If you look closely on this variant, the space between the 'T' and 'A' has not been filled in and is white.

Technique: None.

Audio: The end-title theme from any show or TV movie.

Availability: It's seen on the TV movies Annie: A Royal Adventure and Alley Cats Strike!. This was also seen on the short-lived game show The Hollywood Game.
