HANGAR 18 (1980) Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet: Design Description

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic artwork from the 1980 film "Hangar 18," a classic piece of early 80s sci-fi thriller design. The artwork immediately plunges the viewer into a world of government secrecy and extraterrestrial mystery.

Central Imagery: The Hangar & The Unseen

At the heart of the design is a dramatic illustration of a U.S. Air Force hangar, the infamous "Hangar 18." Within its shadowy confines, a mysterious spacecraft or UFO is partially revealed, often depicted as being housed or crashed. This partial reveal hints at the unseen threat and fuels the intrigue.

Color Palette: Shadows and Light

The color palette is dominated by dark blues, blacks, and grays, which create an atmosphere of secrecy and tension. These somber tones are punctuated by striking contrasts of green or yellow light emanating from the UFO. These lights symbolize alien technology and the unknown dangers it represents, creating a visual contrast that captures the eye.

Foreground and Human Element

The design includes elements in the foreground which provide the human perspective. These elements show military personnel looking up at the UFO in awe or alarm. The presence of a lone figure or investigative scientist adds a sense of scale and human vulnerability to the alien threat, drawing the viewer into the mystery.

Typography and Title

The movie title "HANGAR 18" is rendered in bold, metallic or blocky letters. Its placement on the poster further emphasizes the military/technological feel. This strong title placement instantly identifies the subject matter. The overall impact is a blend of suspense and the alien invasion genre, a visual narrative of conspiracy and the unknown.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
