Background: This production company of HBO was launched in 1988 to produce comedy specials for the network as well as content for Comedy Central (which HBO formerly co-owned), dissolving it in 2001.


(1989-2001)

Logo: On a black background is a row of what looks like five rainbow doors, each one positioned at an angle. Above the doors are
HBO Downtown Productions the words "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" and on them, "HBO (in the familiar logo) DOWNTOWN PRODUCTIONS." All the words are in white.

Later Variant: A CGI version of this logo features a more realistic rendering of the doors, which close shut in this variant. Also, only the words HBO Downtown Productions remain.

FX/SFX: Not much, there is a little movement of the doors.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen at the end of Comedy Central era episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and on all episodes of
Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, neither of which can be seen anywhere.

Scare Factor: Low.
