-'''Logo:''' Basically an in-credit logo, with "{{font|Times New Roman|SHAMLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC.}}", typically on a {{color|gray}} background. After a few seconds, a black-bordered silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock, facing to the left, fades in behind the in-credit logos featured. The featured logos then fade away simultaneously, leaving the silhouette behind.
-'''Trivia:''' As with the next logo, the Alfred Hitchcock silhouette is derived from the title card of ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents''. The same silhouette also appears on the credits' background.
-'''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.
-'''Technique:''' 2D animation. Otherwise, none.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.
-'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' 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]]. Used in tandem with the next logo below.
