DLP Cinema

Background: DLP from Texas Instruments is a projection device that uses a digital micro-mirror device, which is offered in cinemas, developed in 1987 by Larry Hornbeck, and had its first projector revealed in 1997. DLP stands for "Digital Light Processing".

===1st Logo (2006- )=== Nickname: "The Cube", "Birth of an Image", "The Waterfall", "Big DLP"

Logo: In a desert, a mirror cube digs itself from the ground. It jumps around a few times. The cube unfolds itself as the mirrors reveal a majestic waterfall. The signature logo forms, with "Digital Picture by" right next to the circle D. The logo then zooms onto the waterfall, pauses, and then explodes into rainbow glitter as the logo disappears into a black background.

FX/SFX: The cube, the forming, the waterfall (which seems to be live-action). The rest is just wonderful CGI!

Music/Sounds: Crackling sounds when the cube pops out, a sci-fi sound every time the cube jumps and reveals itself, and a majestic theme when the waterfall is on screen.

Availability: Found in theaters that have their products.

Scare Factor: None to low.

===2nd Logo (2006- )===

Nickname: "Meteor Shower", "Power"

Logo: We fade in from black to see some meteors fall from the sky and hit the ground. A tornado starts to form and becomes a tunnel as we zoom in. The screen turns to a rainbow swirl and the DLP logo forms. Then, it flashes away and we see "The Power of Picture" fade in to the screen.

Variant: Sometimes, "The Power of Picture" is omitted.

FX/SFX: The meteors hitting the ground, the tornado/tunnel forming, the logo forming. Again, wonderful CGI!

Music/Sounds: A slightly ominous synth tune with choirs.

Availability: See previous logo.

Scare Factor: It can range from none to medium, due to the slightly ominous music and the tornado & tunnel forming. Nevertheless, this is a very nice logo.
