Notes: 

  • In 1985, Paramount Home Video began to release the entire run of the original Star Trek series, putting out "groups" of ten VHS/Beta cassette tapes at a time (and 5 LaserDiscs at a time); these releases would continue over the next few years. With the release of each new group, a new promotional poster was sent to retailers for in-store advertising display. This poster was for Group 5, released in November 1986. (More info on these releases at this link.)
  • Fine print on the lower right side of the image reads "Not for resale."
  • Artist unknown, similar in style to Drew Struzan but definitely not Struzan's signature. If you have any info on the artist, please leave a comment! Artist signature close-up: 

 

  • A smaller variant of this poster (12.5" x 19", shown below) was produced for retail sale.
