'''Editor's Note''': The introduction of the infamous THX logo. It's a simple effort, but nonetheless a very effective one as well, mostly thanks to its musical soundtrack, the Deep Note.

*The original theatrical variant | *The original theatrical variant is ultra-rare and hasn't been used in theaters in a long time. It is unclear what exact film it debuted on, but it also appeared on the 1990 ''THX Wow!''

*The 1995 variant is arguably the most common THX trailer made. It appears on THX-certified DVDs and VHS tapes from various distributors from 1995 to 2006, most notably Disney, Fox, Universal, Sony, Paramount, mini-majors such as MGM, and even on some releases from Anchor Bay, Republic Pictures and Pioneer/Geneon. | *The 1995 variant is arguably the most common THX trailer made.

'''Music/Sounds''': A shorter version of the Deep Note that begins right before the rapid pitch change. However, new voices are added to the Deep Note and drown out most of the original voices except for the lower ones. | '''Music/Sounds''': A shorter version of the Deep Note that begins right before the rapid pitch change.
