I don't know if this is off-topic, but were there any VHS releases of certain Columbia Pictures Television series that had the Colex Enterprises logo? (If you didn't know, Colex Enterprises was a joint venture between Columbia Pictures Television and Lexington Broadcast Services (later known as LBS Communications Inc.) active in the mid-1980s) I have heard of this logo being on some Shout! Factory DVD releases of some episodes of a few 1950s-60s series from CPT's predecessor, Screen Gems Television, particularly Father Knows Best and Route 66. Plus, I believe the prints used on the Shout! Factory DVDs are also on Tubi. Father Knows Best was once on Hulu as well, but I don't think it's on there anymore.
To my surprise, the Colex Enterprises logo also appears at the end of my VHS copy of "Road to Bali" (1952), one of several post-1948 Bob Hope films that Columbia Pictures Television and LBS co-owned the distribution rights to (the logo plastered over the original Paramount logo, although the film's closing music was intact playing over the logo, as opposed to the 10-note 8-bit style fanfare that the logo usually used). Before you ask, my VHS copy of that film is the early 1990s Avon Products Inc. release, and oddly enough, it was packaged in the 1990 Burbank Video cover (albeit with Avon Products Inc.'s catalog number on the spines of the packaging, plastering Burbank Video's catalog number), yet it uses a circa 1984/1985 Unicorn Video Inc. tape master - complete with the mid-to-late 1980s Embassy Home Entertainment/Nelson Entertainment FBI warning screen with the 1984 Unicorn Video Inc. copyright notice and a prototype-looking "UNICORN VIDEO INC. Presents" logo at the beginning of the tape. (
