HBO Independent Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see "IND" surrounded by a circle, along with "HBO" vertically tilted at its upper left and "productions" at its lower right, following the path of the circle. Everything is in a brownish-red color. Then, it cuts to a dark red screen with "'''A TIME WARNER COMPANY'''" in white lettering.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is a bland logo, despite being the earliest HBO Independent Productions logo from the era.<br />

'''Logo:''' We see a wall with a light on top, along with a white board with the IND design from the previous logo. The byline "a division of Home Box Office" is shown at the bottom left end of the screen, which was added in 1992. A hand reaches up and pulls a switch to an ultraviolet light bulb (or "blacklight"), causing the white area to turn blue-violet, and the logo to glow reddish-purple. The logo also flashes white around the edges, which slowly die down. The lights then flicker off to black at the end.

*Early on, the logo would cut to a black screen with "'''A TIME WARNER COMPANY'''" in white lettering fading in.

*1993-1996: "HIP" later took place of "IND", adding "ind" with the word "productions" on the lower right. The byline is now in all-caps, and is moved to the bottom right.

*In extremely rare instances, after completely cutting to black and holding out for at least half a second longer than the original "IND" rendition, the "HIP" rendition would read "'''A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY'''" in a bolder white text in the center of the screen (also for about a half-second. longer than its predecessor).

*1996-2005: "HIP" was replaced by a red HBO logo surrounded by "INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS" with "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" below.

* The more common "short" version cuts out the part in which the hand turns on the light.

 

*Sometimes, on ''Everybody Loves Raymond'', it would have the finishing theme of the [[Where's Lunch?]] logo, in place of the [[Worldwide Pants, Incorporated]] logo, original CBS airings uses its generic theme.

*On a few early S2 episodes of ''Roc'', there would be alight pounding "thump" sound over the black "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" screen.

'''Editor's Note:''' The electric buzzing isn't easy on the ears. This may be a favorite of some, however. Also, even though Time Warner and AOL merged in 2001 to form AOL Time Warner, and then reverted to "Time Warner" in 2003, the byline on this logo was not updated.<br />

'''Logo:''' On a white BG, we see a square of grass with the bottom right corner rounded off. Some little white flowers bloom in the bottom left corner and form the HBO logo. The words "INDEPENDENT" with a much smaller "PRODUCTIONS" below it to the left also grow in a similar fashion. The square turns a solid spring green.
