'''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.
