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: Fading in to the sight of dried topsoil, a part of it starts to push up and the camera slowly zooms in on it. It eventually ruptures out a glass cube of the dirt, with a metal frame and multiple glass squares on each side, and it lands on the soil. It then jumps up and forces itself down 4 times, each time getting harder and harder while letting out colored lights from its edges. For the 5th time, it spins for a bit and eventually breaks open into a explosion of light, leaving a glass cross shape. It eventually folds out and multiplies itself over the topsoil, starting off slow before multiplying in great numbers. As the camera zooms out, a blue circle zooms out, followed by the text "DLP" and the rest of the logo. It has a line underneath the logo, along with "CINEMA TEXAS INSTRUMENTS" stacked under it. "Digital Picture by" can also be seen in the corner. The glass eventually reveals footage of a waterfall, which fills up the whole screen, and the logo slowly turns to be more flush in the front. As the background fades out, the logo turns into particles which fly toward the screen and eventually cause the logo to end.
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.
Editor's Note: None.

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.
