Logos[]
1st logo (Mid-2000s-): Against a black background, we see the words "Experience THX", which dissolve and the THX logo appears. It shines as usual showing the text "CERTIFIED GAME" below.
Variants[]
There is a version where the flash is purple, and the Deep Note starts from the ignition sound. In The Matrix: Path of Neo, the logo zooms in as Matrix lines, then turns, and the flash appears. In Need for Speed: Shift, the words "EXPERIENCE THX" appear below the complete logo. In Need for Speed Underground, the only word below THX is "GAME".
2nd logo (2005): On a white background, we see the words "PLAY GAME!?" in a regular video game font flashing in red. Two lines of all-red aliens from the arcade game Galaga come from the top of the screen, cross each other, make a U-turn, and merge into one big section. A third section comes from the bottom of the screen, spins around, and goes into the big section. A fourth section does the same thing. A fifth section of aliens comes from the top of screen and makes a U-turn. It goes into the big section too. Two or three more sections go into the big section. As the aliens get in their place, an all-red starfighter comes from the bottom of the screen and stops. One of its guns moves a little bit like an arm. Then its guns all bend over, signaling the beginning of an 8-bit rendition of the THX "Deep Note". However, one of the aliens gets mad, and the others run away, prompting the starfighter to shoot it, and it does. The aliens then get back together, and the starfighter's guns all bend over once again, which signals the beginning of a regular "Deep Note". A red "THX" logo with a "CERTIFIED GAME" byline (in the same font as "PLAY GAME?!" earlier) moves the aliens out of the way while the spaceship's guns "wave" to the aliens. When the "THX" logo is in the middle of the screen, the starfighter is on top of it and zooms off. The entire trailer then pixelates into a black background, a shiny "THX" logo, and the byline "CERTIFIED GAME" in Arial. The finished logo shines.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: The -1.5 Deep Note to as heard on the DVD version and except for Tex version. The Scarface version and Matrix version use the normal deep note. Sometimes The short version of the -1.5 Deep Note to as heard on the DVD version and except for Tex version.
2nd logo: The opening theme of Galaga, various 8-bit sounds (including sounds from Galaga and the beginning of an 8-bit rendition of the Deep Note), and finally the Deep Note (from the “Broadway” logo).
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: None to low, because of the dark atmosphere and the Deep Note.
2nd logo: Low. The pixelation at the end, followed by the music might startle some.
