Shamley Productions

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)

A
SHAMLEY
PRODUCTION

is displayed.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Same as above.

Editor's Note: None.
