<u>Nickname</u>: "Dolbee" | |||
<u>Trailer</u>: In a sound studio, we have a sketch where Barry B. Benson (the main character from Bee Movie) is collecting sound data for Dolby but the sound guys (one of them being Ken) want to finish recording the sounds ("...so we can get out of here!"). Barry asks what the Dolby people want from them when Ken gets annoyed and just tells him to flap his wings. Barry flaps his wings while Ken turns up the Dolby switch. This causes the sound to become so loud that Ken floats up into the air and break the wall behind him (which happens to be the ladies bathroom where a woman is screaming and running). Barry considers the name "Dol-bee?" and then asks where the cupcakes are. The Dolby logo is in gold and says "DOLBEE" for a second before turning to normal. | |||
<u>Trivia</u>: The animation for this logo comes from [[DreamWorks Animation]] and the voice of Barry B. Benson is done by Seinfeld star Jerry Seinfeld. | |||
'''FX/SFX''' | <u>'''FX/SFX:'''</u> The CGI animation, and the text changing at the end. | ||
<u>Music/Sounds</u>: The dialogue and sound effects corresponding to the animation; the Dolby end sounder for the logo. It's possible that Randy Thom & Will Files are the sound designers here since they were such on the film. | |||
<u>Availability</u>: Only seen on the theatrical release of Bee Movie. Also seen on the DVD and Blu-ray release of Bee Movie. | |||
<u>Editor's Note</u>: This is quite a humorous trailer, paired with some good DreamWorks CG! | |||

<u>Nickname</u>: "Catalyst" | |||
<u>Trailer</u>: We see a trail of blue particles from the left, vanishing in the center. Another trail proceeds from the right, then both sides and from the viewer. The bubble explodes in the center, leaving the Dolby logo. | |||
<u>Variant</u>: In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the logo is missing "TrueHD", while "Dolby" is centered. | |||

<u>Nickname</u>: "Spheres" | |||
<u>Trailer</u>: Several spheres are thrown to the ground, made from various materials, one even from glass. They fly forth into a dim space. Then four other spheres fly in slow motion, leaving rich colored tails, and explode in the sky. Two streams of yellow and blue bubbles proceed, forming the [D(|] logo and other part of the stream condense into the Dolby wordmark. | |||
'''FX/SFX''': The spheres landing on the ground, the spheres flying, the explosion. Great animation by Imaginary Forces. | '''FX/SFX''': The spheres landing on the ground, the spheres flying, the explosion. Great animation by Imaginary Forces. | ||
