Next on Cinemax Bumpers

Background: Cinemax didn't have a Next on Cinemax ID until 1984.

1st Logo (1984-1989)

Nicknames: "Square Cinemax", "The Squares I", "Cursive Writer"

Logo: We see some shapes in the background, and while the old "Cinemax" logo fades in with letter by letter of forming the words "Cinemax", and a cursive writer says "Next on", making "Next on Cinemax". And a movie/show/session name fades in at the bottom. And then after the announcer is finished, the Cinemax logo comes out and zooms in.

FX/SFX: The squares moving.

Music/Sounds: A 80s rock tune, a writing sound, an 80s rock tune when the Cinemax logo animates, and the announcement of the movie's name, plot, and starring cast.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1989-1997)

Nicknames: "The Animated Filmstrip", "The Squares II"

Logo: We see a filmstrip with scrambled/mixed up words of Next, with the Cinemax logo also mixed up. Next on and Cinemax logos fly over into the center, and then the "Next on" words disappear. The movie or programme they are showing goes fades in at the bottom. After the announcement is finished, the Cinemax logo appears near the screen until the screen turns black.

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: A twinkling sound, and a rock tune from the 90s.  Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1997-2001)

Logo: We see Next on and the new Cinemax logo appears on the left top side. On the right is the genre (such as Suspense), the movie name (such as Electra), and the date (such as 1995), and it stays there until the feature presentation, or a preview shows up. It is followed by the Reasons for Rating screen.

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: A sly acid jazz tune.

Availability: Extinct again; check for your old DVDs or tapes for this bumper.

5th Logo (2003-2008)

Nickname: "Dark Cinemax"

The movie or show they are showing next appears, with the the date, genre and duration of the movie, with the actors from the movie written below. And then we see the Cinemax logo from before, making a white flash that changes the word "next" to "max".
