The original version is infamous for both the reason it was recalled and for its extreme rarity. Various reconstructions have been made, and some audio had resurfaced, but no one was exactly sure what the original version sounded like beyond a general idea until video footage of the logo was uploaded in mid-February 2022. Nonetheless, this logo boasts some very impressive CGI for the time, and it's otherwise a very nicely-done effort. | The original version is infamous for both the reason it was recalled and for its extreme rarity.

'''Music/Sounds''': Some chimes and wind howling. When the background opens, wind whistles, then various ascending notes and sounds, until a ''Star Wars'' laser-gun sound and a whooshing sound occur as the THX logo appears and ends with a choir-like version of the Deep Note. The sound for this trailer was apparently created at Skywalker Sound and, according to ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'', designed by David Slusser and Marco d'Ambrosio. | '''Music/Sounds''': Some chimes and wind howling.

'''Editor's Note''': The cloudy red background looks quite dated for the time, which is in sharp contrast to the beautiful silver CGI of the THX logo's grand appearance. | '''Editor's Note''': The cloudy red background looks quite dated for the time, which is in sharp contrast to the beautiful silver CGI of the THX logo's grand appearance. | ||
