*The LaserDisc variant is uncommon; the LaserDiscs they were recorded on are uncommon nowadays. It can be found on select LaserDisc releases from 1993-2000, starting with ''The Abyss'', followed by ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'', ''Aladdin'', ''The Little Rascals'', ''Casper'', ''Speed'', and ''Braveheart''.

The last LaserDiscs with this logo would be ''Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace'' and a re-release of the original ''Star Wars Trilogy's Special Edition'', both released in 2000 in Japan only. It also makes a surprise appearance on a Taiwanese LaserDisc of ''True Lies'', and the 1995 Hong Kong LaserDisc of ''Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.'' | ||

'''Availability''': Rare. This became the first alternate THX trailer to be used in 1988, beginning with the original theatrical release of ''Willow'' in THX theaters. The original version is completely extinct and long out of print as it was recalled due to complaints of the soundtrack breaking speaker drivers from theater owners, and may only survive in the hands of a few home projectionists. The second version is only available on THX-demo discs, though it's claimed to be on the 2000 special edition DVD of ''Twister'' (the DTS release, that is). The Dolby Digital variant was seen in THX theaters from 1995-2000. The LaserDisc variant can be seen on LaserDiscs from 1996-1999 such as ''Saving Private Ryan'', ''Volcano'', ''Independence Day'', and others (namely Fox flicks). It was also seen on LaserDiscs from Paramount, Universal, and other major film companies, except for Disney | '''Availability''': Rare.

Warner Bros. would also use this logo for LaserDiscs, but only for the ''Twister'' LD release. | ||
'''Editor's Note''': This is one of two logos that used a theme other than the original Deep Note (At least speculated to be the case for the 1990 revision only), the other being "Grand" (the 4th logo). It proved to be unpopular among viewers. Andy Moorer, in an interview with Twenty Thousand Hertz, recalled that "Nobody liked [the sounds], nobody remembered them".<ref>Twenty Thousand Hertz, June 2018 (part 1 and part 2)</ref> | '''Editor's Note''': This is one of two logos that used a theme other than the original Deep Note (At least speculated to be the case for the 1990 revision only), the other being "Grand" (the 4th logo).
