Playtone/Logo Variations
Big Love (2006-2011):
- Season 2 (2007): We see footage of the famous Hollywood sign, except "HOLLYWOOD" has been replaced with "PLAYTONE". As the screen zooms out, the action freezes and turns into a postcard reading "Pictures from Playtone, California". The postcard flips to reveal the regular oval logo.

- Seasons 3-5 (2009-2011): The oval (in brown) flips onto a wood surface. The "PLAY•TONE" text zooms out into its usual place.

Starter for 10 (2006):
- Opening: The oval has a pattern of the UK flag. The theme is extended (beginning over the preceding HBO Films logo) and is played with a bass and guitar.

- Closing: Just the print logo on a black background.

Charlie Wilson's War (2007): The oval takes on the appearance of a spinning silver disc. The "PLAYTONE" text (in a gold color) emerges from the disc and then stands on it.

Larry Crowne (2011): The logo is formed from a silver drop of liquid and ends in a shiny silver color. A xylophone arrangement of the usual theme is heard, followed by Tom Hanks saying "Spectacular!"

My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood (2020): It snows inside of the oval and the dot in-between "PLAY" and "TONE" is replaced with a sleigh bell.
