Home Box Office (HBO) is an American pay television network owned by WarnerMedia and the flagship property of HBO's namesake parent subsidiary, Home Box Office, Inc. Launched on November 8, 1972, it is the oldest and longest continuously operating subscription television service
Logo: It's basically in-credit text in a custom font that reads "THIS HAS BEEN AN HBO PRESENTATION" with a copyright notice below (though not all shows at the time had this).
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or none. On The Hitchhiker, a whimsical droning note (sourced from the opening theme of the program) is used.
Availability: Seen on older HBO programs before switching to the standard logo such as The Hitchhiker, The Larry Sanders Show, Happily Ever After, and pre-season 7 episodes of Tales from the Crypt.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: On a black background, five glowing blue lines wipe in from the left through the center, and a large gold HBO logo fades in over the center of the lines, as glowing red lines that in the center read "An" above and "Presentation" below flash into existence. The HBO logo then "sparkles" a bit.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Decent early '80s animation.
Music/Sounds: A bombastic 8-note tune, the end theme, or none.
Availability: Scarce. It's used on non-movie events, like specials, concerts, and programs like HBO Coming Attractions or Video Jukebox (a half-hour expansion of the short music video vignettes aired between programs). You might have to look for recordings of said programs for this.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "The Static", "The Ant Races", "Turning On/Off the TV"
Logo: We start briefly on a black screen, before the screen animates like a TV screen turning on, and it fills with static. A shadowed outline of the HBO logo appears, along with "ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING". The static fades into a black background, though the logo remains, filled with static.
Trivia:
Closing Variants: A simple closing is shown. The logo then almost overtaken by static before it later turns off like a TV set:
Later Variants:
FX/SFX: The TV turning on, and the fade effects.
Music/Sounds: A wiping noise and a static sound, followed by a choir. The closing variant has the choir played backwards, followed by a clicking sound.
Music/Sound Variant: On the 1997 special Stomp Out Loud, the static is replaced by the sound of a creaky gate, and the choir is replaced by a car alarm going off. The closing variation has the sounds reversed.
Availability: Very Common.
Editor's Note: None.
