2 Fast 2 Furious was released by Universal Pictures in 2003 as the sequel to The Fast and the Furious, starring Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson in a Miami street racing story. Like other Universal releases of the era, it opens with the studio's orchestral fanfare over the spinning globe logo, a version composed by Jerry Goldsmith and introduced in the late 1990s. Online, that brief logo music has been clipped and reused on its own, because the melody has become shorthand for a major studio premiere.
