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)

Logo: Basically an in-credit logo, with "SHAMLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC.", typically on a grey background.

Variants:

  • Starting from 1958, at the time 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.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: TBA

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,

FX/SFX: None.
