1st Logo (1983-1988)

Visuals: On a changing brownish gradient background, there is a silver box with the following text in an angular, art-deco font shifting from the right:

HAL
ROACH
STUDIOS

The box has line borders between each word. After it stops shifting, a bar of light shimmers the box from the right, eventually stopping.

Variants:

At the beginning of television shows and some distributed movies, a silver bar with "P R E S E N T S" is shown.
Some programs feature the copyright line below the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Two loud whooshes.

Audio Variants:

Sometimes, only one whoosh is heard.
Other times, the end title theme from any show carries over this logo.

Availability:

Seen on colorized versions of movies such as the Video Treasures release of It's a Wonderful Life (1946).
It was also seen at the end of early episodes of Kids Incorporated.
This logo can also be seen on The Laurel and Hardy Show on This TV and TCM broadcasts of Topper Returns.
It was also seen at the beginning of an INSP airing of Angel and the Badman.
It is also preserved on the 1986 UK VHS release of the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life (1946) which was released by The Video Collection.
It is also intact at the start of a Tubi streaming print of Choices (1986) after the 2018 FilmRise logo.
It was also seen at the start of a January 8, 2024 UK airing of the colorized version of Angel and the Badman (1947) on LEGEND.

2nd Logo (1985?-1986?)

Visuals: On a black background, there are the words "HAL ROACH STUDIOS" in orange and in an Art Deco font. The word "presents" in white is seen below.

Technique: A printed image.

Audio: None, but, as a result of plastering, the fanfare from whatever logo on the original print would play over this one.

Availability: Seen on Roach's Award Quality Movie Greats VHS collection which consisted of PD Films, which has been out of print for years.
