A television production company founded in 1974 by the late Norman Lear and talent agent Jerry Perenchio that produced The Jeffersons and One Day at a Time, among others. In 1976, T.A.T. formed its own distribution division. On January 6, 1982, T.A.T. Communications Company was reincorporated as "Embassy Communications, Inc." and renamed the T.A.T. production division as "Embassy Television" (now ELP Communications) with the acquisition of Avco Embassy Pictures Corporation by Lear and Perenchio, while the distribution division of this company was renamed "Embassy Telecommunications". T.A.T. Communications Company is currently known as "ELP Communications", and serves as an in-name-only unit of Sony Pictures Television.
The company is particularly infamous in the logo community for its on-screen logo that was likely introduced in 1979, a logo that was fully discovered for the very first time on December 28, 2024. A theory of that there is another variant of the logo dubbed the "Rising Star" (that takes place on a blue background and with a white star) started spreading thereafter.
