Hammer Video Home

(1986?-Late 1980's)

Logo: After a white screen, we see a fading slideshow of various scenes and stars from old movies, with the pictures being:

A man on a pedestrian street
A picture of the face of a woman
A picture of the face of a man looking right
Another shot of a face of another woman
A crowd, with a woman wearing a flower dress and a man wearing a tuxedo in front
A woman in the bath, with foam in her left hand
A woman placing her hands on a man
Another picture of the face of a woman
Nosferatu
Another picture of the face of a woman looking left
A woman in a black dress
Another picture of the face of another man looking right
A character's face with a scared look
A picture of a man, wearing a hat and holding cards in his hands

When we see the last picture, a red logo fades in, consisting of "HAMMER" with the "H" and "R" being the biggest letters, and two lines in top and below the M's, with "VIDEO" and "HOME" below these letters. The picture fades to white, leaving the logo.

Technique: Just the fading pictures and logo.

Music/Sounds: A slow new age theme, which is actually music called "Circulation" by Robert Fripp, it also seems to be slowed down a little.

Availability: Extremely rare, likely to be seen on VHS releases of old movies throughout the country.

Legacy: At two minutes, this is one of the longest logos on the wiki.
