'''Variant:''' A earlier prototype version exists where the HBO logo's animation is much faster and plainer-looking, being a flat shade of sky blue, and as a result delays the "VIDEO" text appearing. The logo is also notably brighter and the streaks are faster. It should also be noted that a registered trademark symbol appears with the HBO logo before disappearing.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Appears on later collections of ''Ready, Steady, Go'', the first release of ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', and the last few editions of the cartoon series mentioned on the Thorn EMI Video page. Also distributed HBO's original programming, as well as [[TriStar Pictures|Tri-Star]], [[Thames Video|Thames]], and [[Orion Pictures|Orion]] material. The first releases to use this logo were ''The Sleeping Beauty'' and ''Manon Lescaut'', both of which still used the Thorn EMI print logo on the labels and packaging; the first tape to use the print logo, ''The Mean Season'', was released two weeks later. The prototype version, so far, only appears on ''Duran Duran: Arena'', and the two previously aforementioned first two titles to show this logo ,''The Sleeping Beauty'' and ''Manon Lescaut''. Among the last releases to use this was ''F/X'', but later copies of that title have the [[HBO/Cannon Video]] logo instead.

'''Legacy:''' Not a whole lot of work was put into this logo, especially since the earlier version had a more-rushed looking "HBO" animation.
