Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Procter & Gamble Promo Posters (1979)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture promotional posters, set of three designs. Be sure to click the images above for a hi-resolution version!

 

Notes:

• Photographers / designers unknown. The third design uses as its background the Roger Huyssen "starburst" TMP advance art.
• In the first design, the image of the orbital office complex (bottom center left) is a still from the film which has been rotated 180° so that the model is shown upside down.
  
• Sizes either 17" x 22" or 20" x 24", sources conflict.
  
• These posters were given away as a mail-in offer from Procter & Gamble in 1979, through their Crest toothpaste, Secret deodorant, and Prell shampoo brands. The reverse side of each poster was printed with the text "FREE Star Trek poster with the purchase of Crest, Secret, or Prell" as shown below (approximate re-creation).

Star Trek: TMP "Enterprise In Deep Space" Sales Corp Poster (1979)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture "Enterprise In Deep Space" promotional poster produced by Sales Corporation of America, 1979 and distributed in various formats.

Notes:

• Photographer / designer unknown.
  
• The cast lineup at the bottom is reminiscent of the 1978 teaser poster for TMP. Notably absent from the lineup is Mr. Chekov, replaced here by the beloved characters "Arcturan," "Vulcan Master," and "Lizard Man."
  
• This image was used for at least three different printed posters. (1) Greenberg's describes a coupon inserted inside Lesney AMT's 1979 model kits of the Klingon Cruiser and Vulcan Shuttle which offered three different full color posters (see below). The premium 22" x 34" single-sided version of this design was offered for $3.

• (2) A double-sided version, also 22" x 34", was included in a special TMP ViewMaster Gift Set. Side one is as shown above, with the reverse being an anaglyphic 3D (red-and-blue offset) version of the same scene, which one could view with the included "Spock Vision" 3D glasses. The Gift Set, #2362, also included three story reels, a ViewMaster viewer, and a booklet [source].
• (3) This image was also used for a promotional poster which measured approximately 20" x 24". This version was apparently offered by a fan club of some sort ("the Clubhouse"), as the reverse appears to advertise the next poster in the series as a Mork & Mindy poster (M&M was produced by Paramount's television arm, so it's possible "the Clubhouse" was Paramount-related). See below.
