Lorimar Home Video
Logo descriptions by James Fabiano, Sean Beard and Matt A.
Logo pictures by Eric S. and others
Editions by Mr. Logo Lord
Video captures courtesy of Magicmike9000, ThatLogoDude, and JoeCool85
Background: Before L-T opened its own home entertainment arm under the "Karl" or"Karl-Lorimar" name in 1985. Previously, most Lorimar features were issued by either MGM/UA Home Video or CBS/FOX Video.
Karl (Lorimar) Home Video
1st Logo
(1985-1986)
Nickname: "Big K"
Logo: 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. The K glows orange and zooms out, and the words "KARL-LORIMAR" (in the Lorimar font) and "HOME VIDEO" in a rounded font slide in.
FX: The K being formed, which looks similar to the logo of Kartes Video Communications.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Very rare.
Scare Factor: Low; that huge K may put some people off, especially in the first logo.
2nd Logo
(1986-1987)
Nickname: "Multi-Colored Bar"
Logo: A multi-colored line of red/orange/yellow/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.
FX/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 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.
Scare Factor: Minimal.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd Karl-Lorimar logo.
