Heavy Grime Productions

Background: Heavy Grime Productions was founded in 1983 by film producer Liam Long. For the first several years of its existance, it did not use an on-screen logo until the late 1980s. Field sold his company to Holly Grand in 1993. While the film production part of Heavy Grime eventually was made a subdivision of Holly Grand Films, its record label (which Field created in 1989 and was originally distributed by Atlantis) still exists as the Heavy Grime/Jazzhorn/Carved Blue Moon unit of the Globe Music Group.

Heavy Grime

Nickname: "The CGI Heavy Grime Studio", "The Holly Grand Era Heavy Grime"

Logo: The logo starts off inside a movie studio complete with a camera, a boom, a director’s chair and several lights, shown in a purple hue. The camera scrolls down-left and heads towards one of the lights. The hue turns orange and the word “HEAVY GRIME” appears and heads towards the light. When the camera goes into the light, the light changes to an oval and the background changes with a flash to purple. As the camera eases back a bit, “PRODUCTIONS” appears under “HEAVY GRIME” and the oval shines into a stylized oval with a lower case “h”, and a "g". After the shining stops, the 1993 Holly Grand Films logo appears underneath.

Variant: Late in its life "A Holly Grand Company" in the company font appears underneath.
