Hat Trick Productions Video
RSX-798
Background
Hat Trick Productions Video is the video arm of Hat Trick Productions that was formed in 1993. Its titles were distributed by Video Collection International (now 2 Entertain).
Logo (1993-1998)
Visuals: Over a black-gray gradient background, there is a drawing of a rabbit, facing from the left, pulling a man out of a hat placed next to him, with a shadow behind from that (a opposite of what it had done normally when the man was pulling a rabbit). Below that, there's the text "HAT TRICK PRODUCTIONS LTD VIDEO", along with a copyright date.
Variant: In later years, the logo became larger, there is no text and a trademark symbol is also on the right of the logo.
Technique: A still graphic.
Audio: None.
Audio Variant: At the beginning of the 1993 Hat Trick promo, a saxophone theme is heard.
Availability: Appears on UK VHS releases of Clive Anderson specials, Have I Got News for You and Father Ted.
Legacy: The basic concept of the logo was reused for the 1998 Hat Trick Productions logo. This was also the first time a print Hat Trick logo was used on-screen.
