Background

Shamley Productions was filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock's production company. It was named after the British village of Shamley Green, where the Hitchcocks owned a country retreat.

1st Logo (1955-1965)

Nickname(s): "The Alfred Hitchcock Silhouette"

Logo: Basically an in-credit logo, with "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, "SHAMLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC." was replaced with "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 Revue Studios.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1962-1965)

Logo: On a grey background, we see what seems like a bordered silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock facing to the left. In front of the silhouette,

A
SHAMLEY
PRODUCTION

is displayed.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The end of the Revue jingle.

Availability: Same as above.

Editor's Note: None.
