'''Logo:''' A couple of white shooting stars shoot across the screen, then go into a large, zooming-out, blue supernova. A flash occurs, leaving behind several yellow stars shooting at the screen, and a large sparkle in the center and several lens-flare-like circles appearing in the middle of the screen. Then, a glowing tilted horizon with red and black colors underneath it fades in as a large yellow pyramid swings into the center, and the large stylized text "SDDS" zooms out onto the triangle, leaving behind several blue dust as it does so. The text "Sony Dynamic Digital Sound" appears below "SDDS", and all the text begins to glow. The text "BREAKING THE DIGITAL SOUND BARRIER" appears below the whole thing as the triangle zooms in. When the triangle disappears completely, the horizon turns into dust scatters all over the screen before fading out. "BREAKING THE DIGITAL SOUND BARRIER" continues to show up on the screen before the dust fades out. | '''Logo:''' A couple of white shooting stars shoot across the screen, then go into a large, zooming-out, blue supernova.

Trivia: The whole logo was done on SGI workstations. Modeling and animation was done by Elizabeth Keith using Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator. Compositing and rainbow effects were done using Alias/Wavefront Composer. Particle effects were made using custom software. | |||
FX/SFX: Very nice CGI animation for 1993. This was done by Sony Pictures Imageworks.. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of whooshes and descending synths are heard all around the speakers playing the logo (whether they be on your computer, in a theater, or elsewhere). Then, an explosion occurs, alongside a deep synth note. It then turns into a bell note, then an ascending trumpet and an orchestral hit. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A series of whooshes and descending synths are heard all around the speakers playing the logo (whether they be on your computer, in a theater, or elsewhere).
