'''Trailer:''' We start on a black background, where all of a sudden, a giant, a gold optical disc (meant to represent a CD, though it can also be interpreted as a laserdisc or a DVD) zooms out from the hole. When it stops, the gray word "the" zooms close and then moves back. The stylized blue word "digital" does the same, followed by a silver bar rectangle reading "experience" that flies out. After the logo forms, the whole thing explodes into various particles, which then turns into "d," "t," and "s", followed by the appearance of a blue box around the DTS text. Above the DTS blue box are the words "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" in orange. Finally, the word "DIGITAL" zooms out above the blue box, and the word "SOUND" zooms out below the box, all in white font. | '''Trailer:''' We start on a black background, where all of a sudden, a giant, a gold optical disc (meant to represent a CD, though it can also be interpreted as a laserdisc or a DVD) zooms out from the hole.

'''Trivia:''' During the 90's, DTS didn't actually release this trailer as a separate reel for projectionists to play before the film would start (just like what both Dolby and THX would do), rather it was instead included in the first reel of films that was originally mixed in DTS audio. This can be noticeable on many bootleg VHS releases either recorded on camera or a transfer from a film print to VHS. | |||
*The audio used in the trailer would later go on to be used as a stock sound effect used in many properties such as the Sonic fan-made Flash animation, ''Nazo Unleashed'', the video game ''Worms 2: Armageddon'', etc. | |||

*An earlier version of the trailer was used in the first year of its existence, where we fade out after the first sequence dissolves. Also, the text "DTS IN SELECTED THEATRES" in orange is shown below the disc. Sometimes, the text was in white. | *An earlier version of the trailer was used in the first year of its existence, where we fade out after the first sequence dissolves.

'''FX/SFX:''' The disc zooming out at the viewer, the individual words followed by the dissolving; the appearance of "DTS" and "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" text followed by the zoom out of the "DIGITAL SOUND" text. All in fine quality and in early CGI, created by Richard "Doc" Baily and Image Savant. This piece was created with Alias Wavefront on an SGI workstation. | '''FX/SFX:''' The disc zooming out at the viewer, the individual words followed by the dissolving; the appearance of "DTS" and "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" text followed by the zoom out of the "DIGITAL SOUND" text.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is known for its infamously over-dramatic soundtrack and in-your-face computer animation. Nevertheless, it marked an iconic debut for the sound system as a whole. | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo is known for its infamously over-dramatic soundtrack and in-your-face computer animation.
