Hal Roach Studios

1st Logo (1985?-1986?)
Visuals: On a black background, there are the words "HAL ROACH STUDIOS" in and in an Art Deco font. The word "presents" in white is seen below.

Technique: None.

Audio: None, but, as a result of plastering, the fanfare from whatever logo on the original print would play over this one.

Availability: It was seen on Roach's Award Quality Movie Greats VHS collection, which has been out of print for years.

2nd Logo (1983-1988)
Visuals: On a changing brownish gradient background, there is a silver box with the following text in an angular, art-deco font shifting from the right:

HAL ROACH STUDIOS

The box has line borders between each word. After it stops shifting, a bar of light shimmers the box from the right, eventually stopping.

Variants:
 * At the beginning of television shows and some distributed movies, a silver bar with "P R E S E N T S" is shown.
 * Some programs feature the copyright line below the logo.

Technique: CGI.

 * Sometimes, only one whoosh is heard.
 * Other times, the end title theme from any show carries over this logo.
