'''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap. This is followed by a loud phaser sound alongside an explosion, and there are twinkles heard alongside more whooshes, a whir when "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" appear, and a loud descending drone at the end. | '''Music/Sounds:''' First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap.

'''Availability:''' Completely extinct. This logo was made as an alternative to the previous logo, but its similarity to the 1st and 2nd [[Imagine Entertainment]] logos resulted in DTS nearly being sued by said company. As such, it was only seen in three theaters in both St. Louis and Albuquerque before DTS pulled the logo almost immediately. However, it still exists in the hands of private collectors. Allegedly, the original audio for this logo is in the audio files for the DTS audio CDs of ''Dragonheart''. | '''Availability:''' Completely extinct.

'''Trailer''': On a black background, several strands of silver balls spin around, morph, and generally have an energetic motion for the duration of the logo. The center dots spin and pull and turn slightly purple, as chandelier-like designs fly out of the middle center. The center dots then turn light purple and merge together, as the background balls curve, into the DTS logo. The text "DIGITAL SURROUND" appears at the top and bottom of "dts", respectively, alongside the former company website below, when the dots in the background fade out. | '''Trailer''': On a black background, several strands of silver balls spin around, morph, and generally have an energetic motion for the duration of the logo.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Its existence was not known until recently, and the only way to see it is either on YouTube or the 3 links in the Other Links section on the bottom of this page. Since this is an Internet trailer, you do not need any additional equipment to hear the audio. Because of the limitations of Internet video sharing in the '90s, the video quality is quite poor; it's unknown if a higher-quality version exists, or if it ever appeared on home releases. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.

'''Trailer''': In a pillar box, there is a view of some large piano strings sitting together. The light shines on the surface, and we cut to another part of the piano. Then, we cut to one of the hammers inside a piano, which strikes its string in reverse. We then cut to a series of other hammers, innocently labelled with the Yamaha logo, striking their strings one after the other toward us from the back. We then cut to a slowly distancing shot of brass piano strings softly vibrating. Part of the picture fades to black, just leaving a box in its place. The "dts" letters appear in the box and shine, as "®" appears at the top right part of them along with "DIGITAL SOUND" below them. Another defunct website link appears below that. | '''Trailer''': In a pillar box, there is a view of some large piano strings sitting together.

Then a lot of other yellow and orange sparks come in and fly in all directions, making a really colorful composition, and finally folding into a new DTS logo looking like a four-lined Mobius band. As they fold, metallic words also appear right to the logo, reading "dts" with a "Digital Surround" byline. | '''Trailer:''' We see a bunch of sparks passing by.
