Hallmark

Hallmark Cards, Inc. was founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 1910 and has been known primarily as an American greeting card and holiday decoratives company.
First introduced in 1973, Hallmark has produced more than 8,400 different Keepsake Christmas ornaments, encompassing a wide variety of themes and entertainment properties. 
In 1991, Hallmark debuted its first Keepsake ornament based on a starship, character, prop, or scene from a Star Trek film or television production.
The company has frequently used recorded music, sound effects, and clips of actors' voices taken from iconic Star Trek episodes and movies for audio features contained within some of their electronic ornaments (or their display stands) and greeting cards.
A number of actors from Star Trek productions have also appeared in print ads, television commercials, and promotional appearances for Hallmark's products.
Hallmark has also produced other Star Trek-related merchandise including lunchboxes, lenticular greeting cards, buttons, sticker sets, e-cards, party supplies, novelties, plush toys, and jigsaw puzzles. The puzzles were produced through their Springbok subsidiary until 2001, when the brand was sub-licensed by Allied Products.
===PopMinded===
Many of Hallmark's licensed entertainment products are currently marketed under its PopMinded pop culture collectibles brand and are promoted by the company's Creative Director, Christine Taylor, and Senior Writer Kevin Dilmore, the author (or co-author) of a number of authorized Star Trek short stories, novels, greeting cards, and magazine articles.

==Background information==
===Ornament appearances in Star Trek episodes===
To create the battle sequences between the Federation and Klingon fleets in s , the effects department used Playmates toys, Ertl model kits and Hallmark Bird-of-Prey Christmas ornaments in the background in an effort to keep production costs down. When these ships were required to explode, special effects manager Gary Monak filled them with explosives and party glitter. ()
Set decorator James Mees used colorfully repainted Hallmark and Klingon Bird-of-Prey ornaments for Miral Paris' baby crib mobile in . The mobile's Klingon battle cruiser was a small plastic AMT model that had been repainted.
An "unfinished" ship-in-a-bottle of the USS Voyager purported to have been built by Joe Carey and seen in was actually a 1996 Hallmark Keepsake ornament which had been modified for the show by production staff.
While unsuccessfully evading Q, Quinn reduced the starship USS Voyager to the size of a Christmas o r{{nament and tethered it to a Christmas tree in . Perhaps not entirely coincidentally, Hallmark's USS Voyager ornament was released a few months after the episode debuted.

In 1993, Hallmark aired a television commercial featuring Patti Yasutake in the role of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa, who was seen questioning the shipboard computer and then replicating a Keepsake ornament. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry provided the voice of the computer. 
Hallmark's television commercial for the 1994 Klingon Bird-of-Prey ornament featured Robert O'Reilly in the role of Gowron, commanding the bridge of a Klingon ship. His raucous Klingon language pitch was subtitled in English. 
Martha Hackett appeared as a Romulan officer aboard the in Hallmark's 1995 Romulan Warbird ornament television commercial. Hackett appeared in a similar costume to the one she wore in the role of Sub-Commander T'Rul in and .

===Additional background information===
* Lynn A. Norton sculpted almost all of Hallmark's Star Trek starship ornaments for over twenty-five years. The Galileo shuttlecraft was sculpted by Dill Rhodus and the 1996 Enterprise ornament was designed by Norton and Rhodus. The Scorpion ornament was sculpted by Norton while the Data and Picard figures within were sculpted by Anita Marra Rogers. Rogers has sculpted a number of Star Trek figure ornaments.
*Hallmark's initial concepts for the 1991 USS Enterprise, the first in the series, were quite varied. "People suggested that we trim the saucer with garland, show Santa in the ship or even depict an elf-like Santa with pointy ears, reminiscent of Mr. Spock!", reported Tina Hacker, the company's senior editor at the time, but the "side" (including Norton) "supporting authenticity won out." As a compromise to alleviate concerns that it "didn't say 'Christmas' strongly enough", the company added a year date and "Christmas red and green" running lights to the ship. A year date became a standard feature on most of Hallmark's subsequent Trek ornaments. 
*"Magic" sound and light features are commonly activated by pressing a button, although many older ornaments stay constantly illuminated when plugged into a powered Christmas light strand. Since 2005, all "Magic" Star Trek ornaments (not including "Storytellers" and large tabletop ornaments) have been battery-powered and generally function for less than thirty seconds after the "on" button is pushed.
*Limited quantities of most "Event Exclusive" ornaments are also made available to Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Club members.
