HBO Independent Productions
Logo descriptions and captures by Silversword55, Eric S., and mr3urious
Editions by mr3urious, Eric S., Shadeed A. Kelly, and V of Doom
Background: This is a production company of HBO, established in 1990 to produce mainly sitcoms for broadcast and basic cable television.
1st Logo
(Early-Late 1991)
Nicknames: "The Circle", "IND"
Logo: On a white background, we see "IND" surrounded by a red circle, along with "HBO" vertically tilted at its upper left and "productions" at its lower right, following the path of the circle.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: TBA
Availability: Rare; currently seen on early season 1 episodes of Roc on TV One.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(Late 1991-2005)
Nicknames: "The (UV) Light", "UV Light of Doom", "Oven of Doom" , "IND II", "HIP"
Logo: We see a wall with a light on top, along with a white board with "IND" surrounded by a red circle, along with "HBO" vertically tilted at its upper left and "productions" at its lower right, following the path of the circle. The byline "a division of Home Box Office" is shown at the bottom left end of the screen, which was added in 1992. Now, to the action: A hand reaches up and pulls a light switch, causing the white area to turn blue, and the logo to glow reddish-purple. The lights are switched off at the end.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Mostly live action.
Music/Sounds: A clicking noise, followed by an electric "hissing"-type sound.
Availability: Common; all three versions appears on Martin on TV One and local stations and Roc reruns on TVOne, and the version with the HBO logo appears on Everybody Loves Raymond reruns on TBS and in local syndication.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; it depends on your opinion on the electric sounds.
3rd Logo
(2005- )
Nickname: "The Grass"
Logo: On a white BG, we see a square of grass with the bottom right corner rounded off. Some little white flowers bloom in the bottom left corner and form the HBO logo. The words "INDEPENDENT" with a much smaller "PRODUCTIONS" below it to the left also grow in a similar fashion. The square turns a solid bright green.
FX/SFX: The grass, the flowers blooming into the HBO logo, the appearance of the text below, the square turning solid green.
Music/Sounds: The sounds of children laughing, a dog barking, and other "outdoor" sounds.
Availability: Appeared on Lucky Louie on the HBO networks.
Scare Factor: None.

Variants:
- Early on, the logo would cut to a black screen with "A TIME WARNER COMPANY".
- 1993-1996: "HIP" later took place of "IND", adding "ind" with the word "productions" on the lower right. The byline is now in all-caps, and is moved to the bottom left.
- 1996-2005: "HIP" was replaced by a red HBO logo surrounded by "INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS" with "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" below.
- The more common "short" version cuts out the part in which the hand turns on the light.
FX/SFX: Mostly live action.
Music/Sounds: A clicking noise, followed by an electric "hissing"-type sound.

Since SilverSword calls it the Oven of DOom, I thoguht a great idea for a humorous thread was to theorize as to what's being baked in the Oven of Doom?
My guess? Muffins. |

All we need is a screen capture for the "IND" variation of the Oven of Doom!
