* In late 2005, the "LUCASFILM" text was removed due to reflecting the 2002 split from Lucasfilm as mentioned above; a '''www.thx.com''' web address and copyright info now appear at the end of the trailer in place of the Digitally Mastered message. | * In late 2005, the "LUCASFILM" text was removed due to reflecting the 2002 split from Lucasfilm as mentioned above; a '''www.thx.com''' web address and copyright info now appear at the end of the trailer in place of the Digitally Mastered message. | ||

* On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', a metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears from the Time Sphere, zooming toward us. Then, the rectangle gets shot into pieces by the T-800 with the shotgun, as seen on the reflection. The pieces then turn into liquid metal like the T-1000 and form the THX logo. After that, the THX logo fades out, and then it contains a message reading "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature" appears one by one as each text fades out before the other. Also, the Deep Note in this variant (the ''Terminator 2'' variant) is the same as the Broadway 2000 version. This is also on the Blu-ray releases with some differences: the THX logo fades into the standard logo, the "DIGITALLY" and "MASTERED" (à la Broadway '95) are replaced with "CERTIFIED," and the www.thx.com URL with a copyright notice appears; which served as the basis of Cavalcade. It appears on the Ultimate, eXtreme, initial Blu-ray, and Skynet editions of this film, but not the 2015 remastered or 4K Blu-ray releases. | * On the DVD release of ''Terminator 2'', a metallic rectangle with the T2 logo carved out appears from the Time Sphere, zooming toward us.

* On the DVDs of ''The Final Countdown'', ''Fox Demo Disc #1'', and ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'', the logo fades out before we get to the "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" text. ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'' also has the framing of 1.85:1. | * On the DVDs of ''The Final Countdown'', ''Fox Demo Disc #1'', and ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'', the logo fades out before we get to the "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" text.

* A 4:3 matted version exists. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The sphere, as well as it shattering, the thunder, the shards liquefying and merging, the blue box is drawn, and the text fading. Just top-notch CGI all around. | '''FX/SFX:''' The sphere, as well as it shattering, the thunder, the shards liquefying and merging, the blue box is drawn, and the text fading.

'''Music/Sounds:''' First, we hear the sounds of rainfall, and then thunderclaps/electric shocking sounds, followed by glass shattering, then the Deep Note. A laser-like sound is heard as the rectangle is formed. It also can be heard in PAL pitch if you have a PAL DVD with this logo. | '''Music/Sounds:''' First, we hear the sounds of rainfall, and then thunderclaps/electric shocking sounds, followed by glass shattering, then the Deep Note.

'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' The sound of the thunderclap heard before the pieces turn into liquid is the same one that was heard from the Dolby "City" trailer. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' In the ''T2'' variant, music from ''Terminator 2'' is heard which fades into the Deep Note used in Broadway 2000; the sound design and mix are by Gary Rydstrom at Skywalker Sound according to the credits of the ''T2 Ultimate Edition'' DVD. | '''Music/Sounds Variant:''' In the ''T2'' variant, music from ''Terminator 2'' is heard which fades into the Deep Note used in Broadway 2000; the sound design and mix are by Gary Rydstrom at Skywalker Sound according to the credits of the ''T2 Ultimate Edition'' DVD. | ||

It's also the intro to the menu of ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc''. The final appearance of the Lucasfilm byline variant was ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume One'', released on March 22, 2005, and the remastered variant with the THX website URL but no Lucasfilm byline appears on the French DVD releases of ''Ghost Rider'', ''Abandonnée'' (along with the 13th trailer), ''Rec'', ''Boxers'' and ''Pan's Labyrinth (Le Labyrinthe de Pan)'' (including the HD-DVD). Don't expect this to appear on the theatrical edition discs to the 2006/08 releases of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy, despite the 'THX Optimizer' option being featured in the set-up menu. The 4:3 matted variant is obviously seen on fullscreen edition DVDs of film mentioned, however it is unknown if some uses the widescreen variant instead. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo has a dark atmosphere, but also has very incredible CGI all around. | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo has a dark atmosphere, but also has very incredible CGI all around. | ||
