<u>Trailer</u>: We see a starfield in space. Suddenly lights appear from the left of the screen (which resemble the Northern Lights). The lights then move around into the Double D symbol of Dolby. We slowly zoom out the see the Dolby Digital logo which shines during the zoom out. In the background we pan through the stars which turns up into nebula. When the logo finishes the website URL "www.dolby.com" fades in below.

'''Editor's Note''': The sheer beauty of this logo signifies how well it has aged. The gorgeous fanfare is probably one of the best and most beautiful musical pieces featured in a logo.

'''Music/Sounds''': Water gurgling and an ominous sounder cutting to a flash sound, some quite tings and ominous harp strokes, and an intense orchestra which becomes more whimsical and ends with a 5-note sounder along with some strange flourishing sounds. Mixed by Gary A. Rizzo at Skywalker Sound; sound design and mix by Marco D'Ambrosio at MarcoCo; music by San Francisco Ballet, Opera and Symphony.

'''Trailer''': A dark, cloudy background fades in. The right half of the familiar Dolby symbol slides in from the right, meeting its' opposite half on the left of the screen (the screen shakes slightly when the halves meet). As the right half slides in a golden bar with the Dolby text appears in golden light. The "DIGITAL" text then plasters itself letter by letter beneath that symbol and bar. The finished logo shines briefly before fading out.

'''Availability''': Extinct. This was a custom trailer only used on the Starz premium cable channel from 2002 to 2005 (prior to this they had used the 1st and 2nd trailers with "where available" superimposed over the end). When Starz and Encore received a unified rebrand in 2005, Dolby soundtracks were solely identified in the ratings bumpers from then on.

'''Nicknames''': "The Garbage Cans", "Stomp - Perspectives"
<u>Nicknames</u>: "The Garbage Cans", "Stomp - Perspectives"


'''Trailer''': On a black background, a hand snaps its fingers three times. On the third snap, the background changes to white with gray Dolby logos as we see several members of the performance group Stomp make music with garbage cans, brooms, trash can lids and keys. We pan to the left throughout the duration of the logo and see a man walking with his feet strapped to large garbage cans. The camera cuts to him stomping on it from ground view, then cutting to a shiny gray Dolby logo appearing. A Dolby byline and the Stomp logo appear below it.

'''Editor's Note''': A wonderful homage to the original Helicopter trailer, while having it's own unique identity with CGI that holds up mostly today. This is a amazing successful and worthy follow-up that lives up and exceeds in some areas to a well-respected logo.
