FX/SFX : The "hm" drawing.

Music/Sounds : A xylophone jingle, similar to the Dick Clark Productions jingle.

Logo (1985-1994; 2000)
Nickname : “len hill”

Logo : On a black or blue background, a white line shoots down, then curves to form a fancy-looking lowercase “h”. Then, rainbow streaks shoot out to the left and the right at the same time, then flash once they form “len hill”. Below that, “LEONARD HILL FILMS” appears, between two white lines.

Variants : A warp speed version was spotted on Rags to Riches. A PAL toned version also exists.

FX/SFX : The forming of the name and the flash.

Music/Sounds : A “whoosh” when the “h” is formed, then a dramatic synthesizer tune. The early version has a flute and harp tune.

Availability : Seen on a few made-for-TV movies in the 1980's, as well as the short-lived 1987 television series Rags to Riches. The logo would be revived one last time for Hill's final TV film, Stolen from the Heart. Also the early variant at the end 1985 TV movie "Mirrors" on NBC.
