'''Availability:''' Extinct. Its existence was not known until recently, and the only way to see it is either on YouTube (where it was upladed by Logo Archive) or the 3 links mentioned above. Although unfortunately, since the video and audio files on DTS' website at the time weren't archived, the page will lead to a dead end, but the pages with the available info on the trailer, as you will see above, still exist and can be accessed by clicking the links. 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.

'''Legacy:''' This was also the final logo used by DTS for use theatrically, as the company spun off its cinema division in 2008. For a brief time, the DTS name was licensed to this spinoff company, but was renamed to '''Datasat Digital Sound''' the following year. (the name began usage on films in 2009, though in-credit DTS logos stuck around for a while longer) | '''Legacy:''' This was also the final logo used by DTS for use theatrically, as the company spun off its cinema division in 2008.

'''Trailer:''' We see a bunch of sparks passing by. 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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A three-chord sounder with splashing sounds throughout and sparkling notes on the third chord.

There is also a short documentary you can view [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhQntkY1Ank here] which shows the process of how Stocco composed the logo's soundtrack. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A three-chord sounder with splashing sounds throughout and sparkling notes on the third chord.
