HBO Films: Difference between revisions

===(1982?-1985?)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, a {{Font color|red|red}} light flashes, then an {{Font color|orange|orange}} "{{Font color|orange|HBO}}" logo eases in towards the screen as the words "{{Font color|blue|Premiere}}" and "{{Font color|blue|Films}}", in a {{Font color|blue|blue}} cursive font, write themselves in at the same time. As this happens, {{Font color|red|red}} lines laser their way in above and below “{{Font color|blue|Premiere Films}}”. The top line comes from left to right, while the bottom comes from right to left. The HBO logo shines throughout the animation.

===1st Logo (1987)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a {{Font color|purple|purple}} and {{Font color|tan|tan}} gradient background, a camera scrolls up past a clear translucent filmstrip with white “HBO” logos inside. Then one of the HBO logos in 3-D with {{Font color|purple|purple}} sides eases in. The filmstrip disappears and several white squares, rectangles and lines fly in below and “PICTURES” (in the style as seen in the other logos) in red fly in front of the squares. The shapes form a 3-D marquee, with three other marquees behind it. The marquees light up one by one from back to front of the one with pictures.

===2nd Logo (1988-1990)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we see pieces of lettering reflecting the sky. Then the pieces join together and forms the HBO logo in shaded {{Font color|orange|orange}} (or {{Font color|gold|yellow}}), with "PICTURES" in dark red with the "U" and the "R" connected. Under it are five {{Font color|blue|blue}} lines. The logo shines and then five {{Font color|purple|purple}} bars fade beneath the logo (to represent a pillar illusion).

===3rd Logo (1991-1996)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} and {{Font color|gold|yellow}} shaded background, we see some drops, as if it's raining. Then the background turns black and the HBO Pictures image from the first logo appears, colored {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}}. The logo shines twice and disappears.

===4th Logo (1997-1999)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black/{{Font color|blue|blue}} cloudy background, we see dark shimmering water. Bubbles rise up from the water. A big bubble then floats upward as the camera moves up and faces the water, while the HBO logo (minus the circle in the "O") and "PICTURES" below shimmer in. The bubble floats down and forms the circle inside the "O".

===5th Logo (2000-)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we see a blue river (a la the 1989 ITV logo). Suddenly, the HBO logo and the word "FILMS" fade in by blurring.

===6th Logo (2009?)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we see a black HBO logo coming in from the right of the screen. Behind the logo are many blurry {{Font color|pink|pink}}/{{Font color|gold|yellow}} copies of the HBO logo moving to the left of the screen at light speed. After a couple of seconds, the trail leaves one HBO logo behind. The logo shines and turns {{Font color|gold|gold}}, while the Time Warner byline fades in below. The logo zooms in until it fades out.

===7th Logo (June 3, 2015- )===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we see a light shining, revealing a black HBO logo. The light makes almost half of the logo turn a silvery color. Another light shines on the logo from above as a white Time Warner byline appears. The logo zooms at us and shines for a bit before the lights die down and the logo fades out.

===(1985-1999)===

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, two searchlights scroll (a la 20th Century Fox). After a while, a third one appears as the camera eases back to a rectangle on a black background and inside it, the background turns a {{Font color|blue|blue}}/{{Font color|orange|orange}} gradient color. Two tall buildings (possibly the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building) and a few smaller buildings fly together (a la the first Beacon Pictures logo) and form a cityscape with the searchlights behind them. A white border appears around the rectangle and inside it, below the buildings is "HBO NYC" with "HBO" in its company font and below that is "PRODUCTIONS".
