Hat Trick Productions Video (UK)

Background : Hat Trick Productions Video is the video arm of Hat Trick Productions that was formed in 1993. Its titles were distributed by Video Collection International (now 2 Entertain).

(1993-1998)
Logo : On a black-gray gradient background, we see see a drawing of a rabbit, facing from the left, with a hat, and the rabbit pulled a man out of a hat, with a shadow behind from that (a opposite of what it had done normally when the man was pulling a rabbit). Below that it was the word "HAT TRICK PRODUCTIONS LTD VIDEO", along with a copyright date.

Variant : In later years, the logo became larger, there is no text and a trademark symbol is on the right of the logo.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None. At the beginning of the 1993 Hat Trick promo, a saxophone theme is heard.

Availability : Rare. Seen on VHS tapes of Clive Anderson specials, Have I Got News for You and Father Ted.

Editor's Note : The basic concept of the logo was reused for the 1998 Hat Trick Productions logo. This was also the first time a print Hat Trick logo was used on-screen.
