'''Visuals:''' The logo is basically a shortened version of the 1982 [[HBO Feature Presentation|HBO]] "HBO in Space". It starts off when the HBO logo eases in and revolves towards the screen.

The "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" text | '''Visuals:''' The logo is basically a shortened version of the 1982 [[HBO Feature Presentation|HBO]] "HBO in Space" ident. It starts off when the HBO logo eases in and revolves towards the screen. After a moment, the words "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">IN ASSOCIATION WITH</span>" in a {{color|silver}}-black gradient color eases out. As it does this, the HBO logo fades away. The "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">IN ASSOCIATION WITH</span>" text soon disappear, then a {{color|silver}}/black gradient box with white bordering eases out. Inside is the big words "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''SILVER SCREEN'''</span>" with the "S"s bigger than the rest of the letters. They are colored and bordered like the box with the shadow effects. Below "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''SCREEN'''</span>" is the white word "'''PARTNERS'''". On the top and bottom of the inside of the box are curved lines with a zig-zag at the end. The top line is {{color|gray}} and the bottom is black. The box then eases out and shines once. Then "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">PRESENTS</span>" (in the same style as the "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">IN ASSOCIATION WITH</span>" text) eases out. The Silver Screen Partners logo fades away as that appears. As the "<span style="background:linear-gradient(180deg,silver,black); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">PRESENTS</span>" text goes all the way out, the logo fades out. | ||
'''Variant:''' A CGI remake of this has a thinner HBO logo shown from the bottom easing out and then folding up to show the logo, then the "IAW" and Silver Screen logos coming after. | '''Variant:''' A CGI remake of this has a thinner HBO logo shown from the bottom easing out and then folding up to show the logo, then the "IAW" and Silver Screen logos coming after. | ||
