The international art for Star Trek IV's theatrical poster campaigns is credited only to "Gareth." I have not been able to determine whether this is a first or last name, or locate any other information on the artist.
The purpose of this entry is to highlight a couple of stray uses of the Gareth artwork. Above, a lobby card for Star Trek IV (one of a set); this is the only time I have seen the Gareth art text-free (be sure to click the image above for a hi-resolution version).
Below, a VHS front cover for Star Trek IV from Sweden (where the film is known as Resan hem; translated, "The journey home"). This artwork is unique as far as I know: it fuses the Gareth art with Bob Peak's U.S. theatrical art for the film. It sort of works!
