Lorimar Home Video
Logo descriptions by James Fabiano, Sean Beard and Matt A.
Logo captures by Eric S. and others
Editions by Mr. Logo Lord and Nathan B.
Video captures courtesy of videos4everybody, logoman7881, and Logocompilation
Background: Before Lorimar-Telepictures opened its own home entertainment arm under the "Karl" or"Karl-Lorimar" name in 1985, most Lorimar features were issued by either MGM/UA Home Video or CBS/FOX Video.
1st Logo
(1985-1986)
Nickname: "Big K"
Logo:
FX/SFX: The K being formed, which looks similar to the logo of Kartes Video Communications.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare.
Scare Factor: Low; that huge K may put some people off.
2nd Logo
(1986-1992)
Nickname: "Multi-Colored Bar"
Logo:
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The logo flying with the trail, the (Karl) Lorimar dissolving in.
Music/Sounds: All synths, all the time on this one. A synth sweep brings in the bar, and as the dust forms the logo, a 5 note synth melody (similar to the "V of Doom" music) plays. The music closes with a "ding ding ding..." fade out.
Availability: Rare; can be seen on videos such as Clifford's Sing Along Adventure, Manhunter, Maximum Overdrive, Nobody's Fool, My Beautiful Laundrette, and Insignificance, among others.
Scare Factor: Minimal.

1st Logo
(1985-1986)
Nickname: "Big K"
Logo:
- Early-Late 1985: We see parts of the bottom of a giant K slide up from the bottom of the screen, with the top half (in whole) flipping up afterward. After, the K glows orange.
- Late 1985-1986: Same as before, except the logo zooms out after glow it orange, and the words "KARL-LORIMAR" (in the Lorimar font) and "HOME VIDEO" in a rounded font slide in.
FX/SFX: The K being formed, which looks similar to the logo of Kartes Video Communications.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare.
Scare Factor: Low; that huge K may put some people off.
2nd Logo
(1986-1992)
Nickname: "Multi-Colored Bar"
Logo:
- 1986-1987: A multi-colored line of yellow/orange/red/blue sweeps onto the screen. It straightens out, and sets itself down at the bottom of the screen. Then a whole mess of gray dust collects and converges above the "HOME VIDEO" bar, forming the "KARL-LORIMAR" logo. Then to give it a shiny look, little stars sparkle at the letter's edges in time with the "ding ding ding" fadeout of the music.
- 1987-1992: Same as before, but instead the text above the bar reads "LORIMAR", and is larger to fit the width of the bar.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The logo flying with the trail, the (Karl) Lorimar dissolving in.
Music/Sounds: All synths, all the time on this one. A synth sweep brings in the bar, and as the dust forms the logo, a 5 note synth melody (similar to the "V of Doom" music) plays. The music closes with a "ding ding ding..." fade out.
