I thought they started using the fog version of the open until 1984, surprise to me!!

It caught me a little off-guard too.

I was surprised to see the second version of the space logo from HBO where we begin with the fog and clouds at the start of this video. I thought HBO still used the version of the full space logo with the family until early 1985.

I guess they may have alternated during this time, but it's only a guess.

Oh my god, the HBO opening takes me back to the my carefree childhood in the 80s!

I used to love HBO.

Were there any other versions of the male voiceover for the ratings bumper from 1982-84?

Thank you kindly. The recent batch of tapes I got was great; full of HBO promos from the early 80s (including two sign-offs!) as well as a few others.

You sir, kick ass

[gamelover1949]

No problem. I've been trying to stay on top of that more, especially since the recent ones have been much older than what I posted previously (for the most part).
