*The HBO short-form interstitial series ''Behind the Scenes'', which aired between features from the early 1980s to about the early 1990s, had one episode titled "A Closer Look: Inside HBO's City" devoted to showing virtually all the work behind this logo and how the ideas of the bumper came up. The episode can be viewed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agS6ZXBrcng here]. | *The HBO short-form interstitial series ''Behind the Scenes'', which aired between features from the early 1980s to about the early 1990s, had one episode titled "A Closer Look: Inside HBO's City" devoted to showing virtually all the work behind this logo and how the ideas of the bumper came up. It should be worth noting that the "HBO" letters were originally designed with a variant of the 1975-1980 logo in mind, with the "O" being not as deep in the "B", before being redesigned to the 1980 logo.

*From 1993 to 2018, HBO sponsored Bryant Park Movie Nights (one block away from HBO's headquarters in New York City), where movies are projected on a massive screen to an audience every summer. The long version starting from the fog was played before each feature. The intro begins with "Bryant Park Summer Film Festival" in an old fashioned red and yellow font. Then the intro continues as normal. Some organizers and moviegoers in the park have been known to dance to the music. | *From 1993 to 2018, HBO sponsored Bryant Park Movie Nights (one block away from HBO's headquarters in New York City), where movies are projected on a massive screen to an audience every summer.
