Arrow Science Fiction
Arrow Science Fiction is a publisher's series for Arrow Books and was used in at least 1976. In the referenced publication the name is only used on the front cover and was not branded with logos, etc. the way Venture SF is.
Venture SF
Hamlyn, later Arrow, introduced a sub-imprint "Venture SF" for a while, but kept the Hamlyn or Arrow logos on the spine. This could be regarded as a publisher series of sorts (or even a magazine, as there was one book per month planned). Series Editors were Rog Peyton and Rod Milner.
