A custom-made "next" bumper to coincide with the "No Place Like HBO" campaign. Again, it's atypical of HBO's promotion efforts before or since because of the fact that the slogan is front and center. Perhaps this is why this bumper style seems to have been short-lived, as two additional bumper styles using the "No Place Like HBO" music were used; a more elaborate "home" style showing people watching HBO (the starship open is seen), and a "dubbed" variant of the previous steel grates.
