-'''Nickname(s):''' "The Alfred Hitchcock Silhouette"
-'''Logo:''' Basically an in-credit logo, with "{{font|Times New Roman|SHAMLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC.}}", typically on a grey background. After a few seconds, a black silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock fades in behind the in-credit logos featured. The featured logos then fade away simultaneously, leaving the silhouette behind.
-'''Variants:'''
-*Starting from 1958, at the time when Revue Studios changed their logo, "{{font|Times New Roman|SHAMLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC.}}" was replaced with "{{font|Times New Roman|A SHAMLEY PRODUCTION}}", and was shifted to the top of the screen.
-*There is one variant where the text was somehow modified. The font was made sans-serif, with "A" and "PRODUCTION" made smaller and placed on top and bottom of "SHAMLEY", respectively.
-*Sometimes, the silhouette would be excluded.
-'''FX/SFX:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show. Sometimes, the Revue jingle can be heard.
-'''Availability:''' Extinct. Seen on ''Psycho (1960)'', ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents'' and ''The Alfred Hitchcock Hour'', produced for [[Universal Television|Revue Studios]].
-'''Editor's Note:''' None.
