Gold Key Logo


Not used on the original series opening, this logo was utilized for the covers of Gold Key comics' adaption of the show.  It was frequently seen on 1970s "rack toy" packaging and I like it better than the official Star Trek logo because of that association.  Rack toys were the "cheap shit" that was poorly made but could easily be bought by any kid without financial assistance from their parents. These toys were often: 1. Eaten by the dog, 2. Broke quickly & were then thrown out, or 3. Somehow ended up lost in your home's gutters, never to be seen again.  They were not high-priced items but they were some of my favorite toys when I was growing up.
