A shadowed outline of the HBO logo appears, along with " ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING " below it. The static fades into a black background, leaving the logo, which is still filled with static. Trivia: This logo was idealized by Bruce Richmond, who later became executive vice president of production at HBO.

1975–1981
Typography: Avant Garde Gothic Bold (modified) Kabel Launched: May 1, 1975 HBO's logo has looked essentially the same since May 1, 1975, utilizing a simple wordmark with a circle inside the "O", representing a camera lens. This version differs, however, in that it had the "O" overlapping the "B". In network IDs, the logo was often accompanied by three lines colored red, yellow, and blue, below or next to it. This logo was designed by Betty Brugger, then the art director for Time-Life.
1980–present
Typography: Avant Garde Bold (modified) Launched: April 1980 In April 1980, the 1975 logo was revised by Frankfurt Gips Balkind, with the "O" moved off to the right of the "B", but still contacting at two points. This logo was initially used in tandem with the previous version until July 1981. A major reason for this change was that the partially obscured "B" of the previous logo gave many the impression it was an "E". Also, the letters in the logo were trimmed to be slightly less bold, and the spaces between letters and around the circle in the center of the "O" were widened.
A yellow " H " from the HBO logo appears from the right and glides towards the left side of the screen. After it stops, the letters " BO " flip up to complete the logo, while "HOME BOX OFFICE FROM TIME/LIFE" flips down below it.
