HBO Feature Presentation Logo History (1975-Present)

There is actually a song I missed in the credits.
HBO in Space Logo Info Screen
Ending Movie
Sonic 3D Blast (Sega Saturn)
SEGA/Traveller's Tales
Also, I added the credits back. I felt like it was going to be needed again.

[@gerardmcmillan8591]

Remember when all the tv channels shut down early and HBO was on until about 3am with nudity after midnight? Ohhhhhh, the good times!!!!

[@brandonreina5461]

Up until HBO became more popular with its family oriented programming (An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong, Stuart Little: The Animated Series, Aquamarine, etc)

[@greenmonsterprod]

Not only is the 7:55 one both iconic and tremendously cool, it was all done via practical effects and traditional animation.

[@MikeysMorgue]

7:38 HBO used that intro all the way up to 2002? I don't remember it running that long. 20 years?

[@fhb3]

7:55 THE most iconic HBO Feature Presentation ident that they ever did. #SoEPIC

[@ricardobarreras6280]

Yeah, this is the one most people remember. Best music too.

[@tommydrozdowski4733]

Felix Brown I absolutely agree!!!!!

[@taydrabrookshire347]

Nah the 2000’s ident is cooler

[@eascec8374]

I Have A Recorded Tape Of That One, Somewhere Between 1985-1986, in the DFW Area.

[@TheKippykangaroo]

You D*MN right for sure I have it saved in my KZbin favorites

[@ac_junior72]

I do remember that intro at 4:25, the few after I can't really recall - but the "HBO FEATURE MOVIE" graphic at 14:57 I know. THEN can the 1982 intro...I personally thought at the time this was the most amazing thing I have ever seen..lol. Even the behind the scenes special on how they created it was incredible.

[@TheVideoWizard2]

That is true, also for that second intro you spoke about, did you mean 4:57?

[@haydnplus]

7:51 Of course the scare factor is none because it's an awesome logo!

[@nekonekoyama6291]

I like the "HBO Movie" logo, it represents Miami of the 1980's very well

[@buckyheeler8098]

You said it!

[@Dremag_Gaming]

and to think the HBO spinning logo is a real thing

[@misadventuresinblissville3563]

I love the '70s psychedelic video effects!

[@MadameSomnambule]

I like how gradual the aesthetic shift was at first, and you can kinda see where they gradually started phasing out the whole bombastic 70s horn and wah wah guitar sound that the original logos had going on in favor of synths. Also, I'm amazed they aired that one HBO logo (y'all know the one) for 20 whole years. I guess it was just that timeless/memorable in its execution and that's impressive. Even more impressive is the fact they paid homage to it in a new logo.

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

Very Triumphant Music!

[@robtimuscron1126]

I love how the new intro incorporates the iconic 1980's intro into it

[@nintendomcawesome4277]

Brings back memories of my childhood. Saw that intro so many times. Nice to see them pay homage to it and even use parts of the music in the new intro. Love it.

[@djmikeramirez]

The 1982 takes me back in the day

[@anniefinch6843]

I remember these openings.

[@gryjffrs]

The tenth opening was my favorite nostalgically because of what my then toddler daughter would do when it came on. But number sixteen is awesome. It actually makes my stomach flip over like I was riding a roller coaster! But this isn't a complete history, more like an almost complete history. Still appreciated tho, thanks!

[@haydnplus]

9:11 Another awesome logo!

[@jaimevoegel5725]

Haydn Leo Productions What about that?

[@matthewulanski217]

The newest, unreleased one actually surprised me. They actually did good with that one at 12:25.

[@jorgegustavoocamposcaceres5656]

I ❤ the HBO 1986's feature presentation, already that I was born in 1982 when I watched in revision all june of this currently year.

[@tonyas1011]

Its funny how the one at 7:55 is very similar to the last one!! I think the one at 7:55 was the best!!

[@tinkerpixielinny777m.mcjin3]

Thank you! Brings back memories!

[@brandonmorris92]

Wow, that HBO music. So totally 80s! 😁

[@controller14b73]

I loved your content when I was 12, keep up the good work dude!

[@comchia4306]

7:55 imagine opening Game of Thrones with that logo.

[@indayteray8647]

That would be nostalgic

[@edkramer-cgihistoryexpertw3493]

Wow, cool! The first three were clearly done with Scanimate, a technology invented by Lee Harrison III and his team in Denver CO. At this time in history, these spots could only have been created at Computer Image Corp. in Denver, Dolphin Productions in New York, or Image West in Hollywood, those were the only places in the US with Scanimates. My guess is this was from Dolphin in New York, and probably involved either Fred Kessler, Jeff Kleiser, Mike Saz or Richard Froman as Scanimate animators, and possibly Ron Hays as Art Director. I started animating on Scanimate at Image West in 1981 and I don't remember seeing any of these HBO spots on old company demo reels. Plenty of others worked at Dolphin also, these are just my best guesses. Thanks for posting this! -ed kramer CGI History Channel

[@TheVideoWizard2]

+Ed Kramer - CGI History Expert Wizard You're welcome!

[@Diskoboy1974]

Ah, the days when cable TV truly was a luxury. I miss the days before 1986 when HBO was actually part of most standard cable packages. You had to pay extra for Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, etc... Hell, back in those days, The Disney Channel was even a premium channel that cost extra.

[@Lostdwarf]

why do I have visions of Jack Tripper coming in and sitting with a bowl of popcorn to this

[@johnberger51]

My favorites are the 1983 and 1987 ones.

[@JerryFisher]

I'd forgotten about so many of these until now. For a split second I was back in an era where people weren't scared, we knew how to have fun, and the world seemed more orderly. Yeah, we lived under the specter of nuclear armageddon and AIDS was cutting a wide swath through a generation, but compared to today, it still somehow seemed better.

[@michaelguernsey9685]

7:51 Is My Favorite HBO Intro 🔥🔥🔥 I Love It Awesome

[@brandonreina791]

HBO (Home Box Office) had some fairly good made for TV movies including Chrissa Stands Strong (2009)

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

The last and current one is Very Triumphant in its nature and music. A Total Recall to see the most iconic HBO ad in it. Yet I tell you the truth; That same 1982 ad is to HBO and its fans as was Thriller is to Michael Jackson and his fans. The Irony is that both was released in October 1982...😳

[@jc02232012animations]

12:25 new logo in 2017. The best logo ever!

[@Nick-du7cc]

I think I'll agree this is the best l

[@Brand2Tiny]

That last one is actually my favorite now.

[@science7713]

Nice!!!!!! :)

[@alexgarza103]

Theres also short Feature Presentations from late 1997 up until late 1999 like the Skyscraper, water, magic hands you know what I mean?

[@TheVideoWizard2]

Yes, I do know what you mean.

[@rellman85]

If you had HBO in the 70s and 80s you were pretty well off.

[@markgolden9104]

9:12 is the one I remember most.

[@SGingo]

its funny, because to me growing up the 10th and 11th were definitely scary as Hell! it probably didnt help that i only watched it at my Grandparent's house by myself staying up late to catch Tales from the Crypt, so...

[@DuolosX]

Wow. Just... wow.

[@Blackwolff9]

Great compilation! But you forgot the most important logo: The Sign-Off! Before it went to a 24/7 format,HBO signed off at midnight just like the broadcast networks. It was an animated piece featuring people preparing for bed:a clock and a watch being set,a pillow being fluffed,a dog snuggling in,kids being checked,man yawning,etc. My favorite part is a a shot of the Sandman,which is an old man swinging from a hook throwing out sand! That ended in 1981 when they switched to the current format. This was so good,I thought you'd end with that. Hey,you can always re-edit.

[@TheVideoWizard2]

+Blackwolff9 Oh, did that count? Oops!

[@Blackwolff9]

Hey, no harm,no foul. But I think it would've been a good wrap-up. Again, great job! :D

[@TheVideoWizard2]

+Blackwolff9 Thanks!

[@DIMON_CAMI]

6:07 My favorite bumper

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

That sound effect you edited in as the info text comes up is quite annoying.

[@gerardmcmillan8591]

🤣🤣🤣

[@erikpridemore3174]

The sound effects gentleman surely worked it up, but we are all familiar with the HBO Feature Presentation and HBO Movie Theme Songs right before the Movie starts after its Movie Rating Appears. And "The Price Is Right" Theme by Score Productions was heard during this showing on all HBO Features logos and its graphics. HBO and Sister Channel Cinemax are owned by parent Corporation Time Warner.

[@deoncalloway1430]

Also known as WarnerMedia since 2018.

[@lawsonhellu4718]

I love how they describe the animations😂😂😂😂

[@DerickAlexsander.Official]

Cool

[@loankieuminh]

Hey, if you don’t know what is the info of the 2nd and 3rd openings, then just go to the browser and search for CLG Wiki. There you will find out the description. If you don’t have the availability and scare factor in these two openings, you don’t have to need a scare factor in every opening. If you remember the description, please edit the video for the description of these two openings.

[@nickbillups7766]

10:26 1998? Looks like it was made in 2006.

[@ilmamartinez522]

70s and 80s were best. Not gonna lie. :)

[@radornkeldam]

Excuse my ignorance, but, what's the deal with all the "scare factor" talk? It seems so random to me to rate the perceived scaryness of company logo animations of all things... what's the point? I'm so confused

[@TheVideoWizard2]

+radornkeldam Oh, it's CLG Wiki's way of determining of how scary a logo is. It's really helpful.

[@radornkeldam]

I remain confused. Why even do that? Who needs this rating? What logo could be so scary to justify this sort of thing?

[@TheVideoWizard2]

+radornkeldam For your first and second questions, they do this in order to make sure some people don't get scared. Some people as in kids or others. For your third question, I hope you know the Nightmare Logos. That term originated from the scare factor: "NIGHTMARE". Nightmare logos are logos that when you see them, they give you nightmares. Some logos include: VID (Russia), CBS Productions' 3rd logo, and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's 1st logo.

[@maxefforts]

@8:42 will always rock. 80s dominated. I don't like the 70s 90s or the turn-of-the-century. Today just sucks

[@djjasmin]

1:39 no medium very nightmare to kill to children!

[@ChristopherMichael-dw4wt]

What is the "Scare Factor" suppose to mean??? I don't get that...

[@TheVideoWizard2]

On the CLG Wiki, there used to be a rating system to determine how scary a logo was. The highest rating, which meant the absolute scariest logos, was Nightmare. They stopped using the Scare Factor sometime in 2019 or 2020, I believe.

[@trashyraccoon2615]

What is the “scare factor”? Never heard of that.

[@TheVideoWizard2]

It was used to determine how scary a logo was on the CLG Wiki, now renamed to AVID. It's not there anymore.
