Logos[]
1st logo (1997-1998): On a yellow background, we see the HBO logo with a red ball inside the "O" and the word "FAMILY" in a purple square with static covering parts of the square. Suddenly, a yellow dog appears and blinks his eyes, before the square turns around to reveal the logo again.
Variants[]
- On a sky background, we see the HBO Family logo inside a light blue box, a fly pops out of the "O", winks at us, and files away.
- On a space background with an orange planet and a green planet, the HBO Family logo files from the bottom, and a 3-eyed purple alien appears from the "O", winks and waves at us, then gets sucked up by a flying saucer.
- We see the HBO Family logo and a purple dog with a red-striped bone in his mouth saying "HAPPY HOLIDAYS", then a red square reading "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" instead of the HBO Family logo.
2nd logo (1998-2003): We see the HBO Original Programming logo animated as usual, with the word "Family" under it, in Triplex Sans, between HBO and other words. There is a yellow arc above the word "Family".
Variant[]
On the El Perro y El Gato short "Juntos de Nuevo: Together Again", there is no static in the logo, and "ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING" is replaced with a copyright stamp.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: A short piano tune, along with the dog grunting and barking.
2nd logo: Same as the standard HBO logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: Low to medium. The dog looks creepy, and the growling might get to some.
2nd logo: Same as the standard HBO logo.
