Time to end a 10+ year-old myth. I think that image was just a coincidence and never an indication of the 1993 logo being used after IMAX's rebrand.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a glowing orange "IMAX" zooms in. While it does, blue stripes shaped like thunderbolts fade in behind. "IMAX" then stops near the bottom of the screen, and then the logo fades out.

'''Trivia:''' Even though the logo ended in 2004, It was still used in trailers until 2007(?).


'''Variant:''' There is another variant in which the IMAX logo zooms in a little closer and settles in the center rather than the bottom of the screen. This was most likely used as a 3D effect for IMAX 3D releases. The blue stripes are also in the center, but they are thinner and further away. Another variant contains the blue stripes animated, spinning around and glowing.

'''Availability:''' Seen on IMAX screens between 1993 and 2004, and also preserved on DVD and Blu-ray releases of IMAX productions, as well as the IMAX version of Apollo 13. Seen on trailers during 1993 and 2007. The animated variant was spotted on an YT upload, but however, that has been since possibly deleted.

'''Legacy:''' In comparison to the previous logo, this one is unimpressive and even seems cheap (sans the animated variant).
