''' | '''Audio:''' A laser sound leading into a boom mixed with an 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. | ||

'''Availability:''' This trailer was made as a replacement for the previous trailer, but its alleged similarities to the first two [[Imagine Entertainment]] logos resulted in said company threatening to take legal action against DTS. The trailer was known to be seen in at least three theaters, both in St. Louis and Albuquerque, before it was pulled. The original audio for this logo managed to slip by the recall of the trailer, and has been spotted in audio files for the DTS audio CDs of 1996 releases such as ''Dragonheart'', ''Independence Day'', ''Mission: Impossible'', and ''Twister''. | '''Availability:''' This trailer was made as a replacement for the previous trailer, but its alleged similarities to the first two [[Imagine Entertainment]] logos resulted in said company threatening to take legal action against DTS.

It's unknown if a higher-quality version exists, or if it ever appeared on home releases. | '''Availability:''' Its existence was not known until at least 2015, when it was discovered on the three links mentioned above in Trivia.

''' | '''Audio:''' A three-chord sounder with splashing sounds throughout and sparkling notes on the third chord. It was composed by Diego Stocco, who explains the process behind the logo [https://www.behance.net/gallery/1327705/DTS-Sound-Signature here]. 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. | ||

''' | '''Audio:''' For the long versions, first we hear a muffled set of street sounds, like passing cars, trucks and police sirens, representing all the sound that is encased in the cube. The cube explodes and a single note plays out, which transitions into the particles floating around. The Senior Manager of Professional Audio at DTS, Brian Slack, was responsible for designing many of the particles' sounds as they pass by the screen. The sounds play out during the entire particle segment, and then as the camera is about to zoom out and reveal the particles forming the logo, a stop-start note plays which grows louder before the camera zooms out. Some crystallized sounds play as the particles form the logo, a bass drop plays when the logo turns solid, and finally the DTS chimes play when the "dts" letters shine. A low note plays with an additional quiet high-pitched noise when the logo shines and zooms out. | ||
