Access Syndication

Logo description and capture by Eric S.

Background: After acquiring Colbert Television Sales in 1986, Access Syndication closed in September 1988, due to a "crowded marketplace" as well as a number of flops.

(September 21, 1987-September 3, 1988)

Logo: On a black background, we see the word "ACCESS" zooming in, in a chrome color with the "e" and the "s" connected, inside an outlined rounded rectangle. The word "SYNDICATION" is under "ACCESS". When the entire logo has zoomed in, the word "DISTRIBUTED BY" fades in over the logo. Access SyndicationThe logo then sparkles three times.

FX/SFX: The zooming of the logo and the sparkles.

Cheesy Factor: The logo is pretty simple.Music/Sounds: A high tune with three ascending notes as the logo sparkles.

Availability: Seen on DC Follies; some episodes on Hulu years back preserved this. Also seen on non-domestic prints of Beverly Hills Teens, and the syndicated game shows Treasure Mall and Slime Time.
