Background

20th Century Fox Home Entertainment was the home entertainment division of 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures (now 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures), a division of The Walt Disney Company. It was initially formed as Magnetic Video Corporation in 1968 by Andre Blay and based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, was the first company to release theatrical motion pictures to home video for consumers in 1976, making special deals with United Artists Corporation, Avco Embassy Pictures Corporation, ITC Entertainment Group, ABC Pictures Corporation, Viacom (later "CBS Corporation", now "ViacomCBS"), RBC Films (then an exclusive licensee of several of Charles Chaplin's films), Brut Productions, Bill Burrud Productions, American Film Theatre, and 20th Century-Fox Film Corporation (now 20th Century Studios). In 1979, Fox purchased Magnetic Video from Blay, reincorporating it as "20th Century-Fox Video" in 1981. In Australia, it was one of the Magnificent Seven home video distributors. In 1982, Fox entered into a joint venture with CBS to form "CBS/Fox Video", also launching two sub-labels; "Key Video" (later reactivated as "Key DVD" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment), and "Playhouse Video" (formerly known as "CBS/Fox Children's Video"), which both became inactive in 1991. CBS/Fox Video was renamed "Fox Video" the same year, alternating with the CBS/Fox name until 1998, when Fox Entertainment Group acquired CBS's interest in CBS/Fox and renamed it to "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" in 1995, alternating with the Fox Video name until 1998. The name would be retired on-screen in 2020, with the rename to 20th Century Studios and future home media releases would use the shortened version of the movie logo starting with the video release of Call of the Wild, while the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment name is still used for copyright holding purposes.

20th Century-Fox Video

1st Logo (January 1982-January 1983)

Nicknames: "Stairways", "Bleachers", "CBS/Fox Bleachers"

Logo: On a black background, we see a mirrored, twin stair-like texture that shines a lot. The "stairs" rotate counter-clockwise and turn out to be the following text in blue with a segmented line between the two words on a black marble background:

CBS
FOX

Then the word "VIDEO" shines in below "FOX", and the whole logo shines with pride.

Trivia:

  • This logo is referenced in a scene in the music video for the song "DVNO" by Justice. Said scene references both this logo and the Universal Pictures logo at the same time.
  • This logo was designed and animated by Compugraph Designs in New York, NY.
  • The equipment employed in this logo were a Bosch FGS-4000 CGI machine, Quantel DPB-7001 paint system, and an Abekas A-60 digital compositor.
  • The staff of Compugraph Designs included Ed Kramer, Mike Saz, Janet Scabrini, Nat Zimmerman, and Bill Mahler.

Variants: There are a few variations of this logo:

  • A variation was seen in black and white. This was shown on re-releases of 1940s, 1950s and 1960s films.
  • On widescreen releases, the logo would zoom out to a screen with two rectangles, one on the left and one on the right, on an almond-staged orange/purple background, and the two rectangles on the sides would expand, and "SPECIAL WIDESCREEN EDITION" is below the screen on the stage.
  • There may be either the words "STEREO", "STEREO SURROUND", the Dolby Surround logo, the Ultra-Stereo logo or the Chace Surround Stereo logo appearing in the bottom left corner.
  • On late 1989-early 1990 prints, from just before CBS/Fox started printing their tapes at Rank Video Services America, during the FBI Warning screen, which appears on the beginning of such tapes at that time, a still version of this logo appears a couple of times, staying on the screen for about five seconds before cutting back to the warning. This has been spotted on prints of License to Kill, Iron Eagle (the 1989 re-print), Die Hard, Magic Memories on Ice, The Mighty Quinn, The January Man, Buying Time, The Abyss, Commando (the 1989 re-print), and In Like Flint from the time period.
  • Memories of Me has an almost still logo where the logo shines.
  • On the 1984 VHS of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, there is a still version where the logo does not shine at all. The entire logo fades in, stays on-screen for a couple of seconds, and then fades out.
  • The standard version (matted to widescreen) makes a strange appearance on the 2000 Image Entertainment DVD of The Twelve Chairs.

FX/SFX: "CBS-FOX" rotating, "VIDEO" fading. This is pretty advanced stuff for the 1980s, and it still holds up moderately well today--which probably explains its staggering 16-year lifespan.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo, but the mixing (most noticeably with the opening horns) is slightly different.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On the widescreen variant, a big "WHOOSH" sound is heard at the beginning (if listening under stereo, the whoosh pans from right to left), then another whoosh when the side rectangles expand, then a "Boom!" at the end (also if listening under stereo, the "Boom!" pans from the left side to the right).
  • On the 1990 VHS of The Sound of Music, this logo is silent.
  • At the end of PAL tapes in Australia, there is a variant with a voice-over from Channel Seven's Don Rainsford, who says "Please rewind this cassette before returning it to your video library" at the end.
  • Another variant used Chelsea Brown saying "Could you please rewind your cassette before returning it to your video library?".
  • The completely still variant seen on the 1984 VHS of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly has no music at all.

Availability: Very common. This logo lasted for 16 years and was used on a massive variety of releases, so it should be easy to find on VHS tapes available in second-hand shops, charity shops and on Amazon and eBay.

  • Can also be seen on early-to-mid 1991 Media Home Entertainment releases and BBC Video releases.
  • The widescreen version can be found on the first prints of the widescreen editions of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (preceded on both tapes by the widescreen version of the 1991 Fox Video logo) and all the DVDs from Bruce Lee's "Master Collection" box set, except Bruce Lee: The Legend.
  • The Dolby Surround variant can be found on the original VHS releases of Die Hard, The Abyss, The War of the Roses, Vital Signs, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Young Guns II, Die Hard 2, Pacific Heights, Marked for Death, Predator 2, and Edward Scissorhands.
  • The Chace Surround Stereo variant is extremely rare and can be found on the original VHS release of State Fair and a 1990 VHS of Planet of the Apes.
  • The "STEREO" text version can be seen on the 1995 Hong Kong laserdisc of Return of the Jedi (plastering the 1981 20th Century Fox logo).
  • This is retained on the 1994 UK VHS releases of the Star Wars trilogy, but not the 1992 or 1995 US VHS trilogies, despite showing the logo on the covers and labels of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, their laserdisc counterparts actually use this logo.
  • The Ultra Stereo version is rare and can be found on the VHS releases of Satisfaction, Mindgames, Survival Quest, and Frankenstein Unbound.
  • A rare post-1991 solo appearance happens on the 1992 VHS of Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child, where it's not even accompanied by the BBC Video logo.
  • Also seen on Media Home Entertainment releases from the early part of 1991 such as The Applegates and Sonny Boy, among others.
  • Strangely, it appears on a Canadian Malofilm Video release of Ambition, while the U.S. Media/Fox VHS used the first Fox Video logo instead.
  • The last releases to use this were FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, Our Friend Martin and Walking with Dinosaurs. Strangely, this does not appear on the 1998 VHS of Rusty: The Great Rescue, as well as the mid 90s Star Wars trilogy release despite the print logo appearing on the packaging and tape label.

Editor's Note: This is considered one of the most memorable logos ever made, especially thanks to the epic music, great CGI for the time, and its lengthy lifespan.

4th Logo (Argentinian Version) (1980s)

Provided ID could not be validated.L9TfUiHRnqs}}

Nicknames: "Rotating Tower", "The Ugly Tower", "Fox Structure II"

Logo: On a dark teal background, we see a gold/purple Fox structure, from an extreme upper-left angle. We move down and pan around the structure (and a light shines through it as we do that), saying "FOX VIDEO" like in the 1st logo, before settling into the familiar angle we usually see Fox logos from, with clouds moving behind the structure at a slow rate.

Variants:

  • There is a black and white variant. This can be found on the 1993 VHS of Young Frankenstein.
  • A shortened version exists where the logo fades in as the lights shine and the logo moves to its final angle. This was seen on the 1995 20th Century Fox Selections releases of Young Guns II and Dutch.
  • A short version with far more vibrant colors than usual appears on the promo for the VHS of Mrs. Doubtfire on the 1994 VHS of Speed.

FX/SFX: The computer animation, which is a variation of the movie's animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • Occasionally, the 1979 TCF fanfare was used, mainly on PAL releases including the UK rental VHS releases of Used People, Jack the Bear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and The Vanishing.
  • On a promo for The X-Files found on the 1995 Hong Kong laserdisc of Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and the French SECAM VHS release of Highlander III, a deep synth score is heard.
  • On Media Home Entertainment releases, the announcer for the Media and Fox Video logos says "Distributed by Fox Video".

Availability: Uncommon. Appeared on releases during this era.

  • First appeared on Used People, Toys, and Hoffa, with the same 2D print logo. This can be seen on all 1993-1995 Fox Video releases such as My Neighbor Totoro, Doctor Dolittle, Frozen Assets, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Once Upon a Forest, The Sandlot (including a 2000 VHS reprint, in print as late as 2004), Mrs. Doubtfire, True Lies, Speed, Baby's Day Out, The Pagemaster, Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog, The Scout, Nell, all 1995 20th Century Fox Selections VHS releases such as Big, Pacific Heights, Shining Through and Only the Lonely, and some BBC Video releases from that era, including Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers and Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out.
  • Was also seen on tapes released by Media Home Entertainment from 1993, including Scam, shortly before Media Home Entertainment went out of business.
  • This also appears on the Star Wars Trilogy: The Definitive Collection Laserdisc box set from 1993.
  • The last tapes to use this were the John Hughes remake of Miracle on 34th Street and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.
  • Strangely, this logo doesn't appear on the 1995 Star Wars trilogy VHS box set, despite showing the 1994 full color print logo on the cover. However, the 1995 Laserdisc of Star Wars: A New Hope actually uses this, while the 1995 Laserdiscs of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi use the 1984 CBS/Fox Video logo instead.

Editor's Note: Many consider this to be an ugly logo, due to its weird, dull colors and off-model appearance.


3rd Logo (1994-1995)

Provided ID could not be validated.A5fAPArSUe8}}

Nicknames: "Print Searchlights", "Fox Structure III", "Print Fox Structure"

Logo: It's basically the full color Fox Video print logo of the time, which is the 20th Century Fox logo from 1953 with "FOX VIDEO" replacing the text. It begins by taking up the whole screen, but zooms out until it is in a box in the center of the screen.

Variant: On the Rodgers & Hammerstein Golden Anniversary Collection trailer, the words "from Fox Video" are seen below the logo.

FX/SFX: The zooming out of the logo.

Music/Sounds:

  • The end theme of the trailer, combined with a female voice saying "From Fox Video".
  • On the Rodgers & Hammerstein Golden Anniversary Collection trailer, it's silent.

Availability: Rare. It's seen on the trailer for the Shirley Temple Collection VHS box set that can be found on the VHS releases of Mrs. Doubtfire, The Little Princess, The Blue Bird, and the John Hughes remake of Miracle on 34th Street. Was also seen at the end of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Golden Anniversary Collection trailer, which can be found on the 1994 VHS releases of State Fair (1945) and The Sound of Music.

Editor's Note: None.


4th Logo (December 19, 1995-March 1998)

Provided ID could not be validated.hoArcSMgaY8}}

Nicknames: "Box Structure", "Majestic Tower", "Futuristic Structure" , "TCF BoxTower"

Logo: We see the end of the 1994-2010 Fox logo, with neither the News Corporation byline nor the registered trademark symbol. We then zoom out, to reveal that it is in a box. The box is in a larger box colored cadet blue, and next to the Fox logo box are the words "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" in Latin 725 font, spanning across three lines.

Trivia: The version of the Fox logo used in this logo is an unedited render of the logo from Flip Your Lid Animation, before it was transferred to film.

Variants:

  • On some releases, the logo faded in from black rather than cutting in from black.
  • The first releases with this logo had the logo cut to black at the end of the animation.
  • There exists a black and white variant. This can be found on the 2001 Fox War Classics VHS release of The Desert Rats.
  • A 16:9 version of the logo was spotted on the widescreen DVD release of Thumbelina.
  • On 1996 VHS tapes that have the Widescreen Series video promo, the logo fades in and then fades out later right after the animation freezes at the final frame.
  • A shorter version exists where the logo begins halfway through the animation. This has been spotted on the 2005 DVD of Pet Alien: Atomic Tommy as well as VHS releases of Strawberry Shortcake.
  • On the 1995 retail VHS of Bushwhacked, the logo cuts to the green MPAA rating screen for the Down Periscope trailer.
  • On some tapes with the Premiere Series promo, the logo is shortened and the text on the right from the logo is replaced with "PREMIERE SERIES".

FX/SFX: A simple, smooth zoom-out. The box animates at the same framerate as the Fox logo itself.

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the tapes with the Widescreen Series promo, announcer Don LaFontaine says "Presenting the Widescreen Series from Fox Video" halfway through the animation.

Availability: Common on VHS, DVD, and Laserdisc releases from the period.

  • Appears on releases such as the John Hughes remake of Miracle on 34th Street, Independence Day, Casper: A Spirited Beginning, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, The Crucible, King Kong Lives, Tai-Pan, Pelle the Conqueror, Maximum Overdrive, Crimes of the Heart, Titan A.E., Silent Trigger, Raw Deal, Jingle All the Way and Goosebumps videos, as well as some prints of Wallace and Gromit tapes (namely A Close Shave), the Best of the Simpsons VHS tapes, and the 2002 DVD release of My Neighbor Totoro.
  • Outside the USA and Canada, this logo can be seen on video releases and television broadcasts of Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy. It made a surprise appearance on the UK VHS release of Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask after the 1995 international version of the TCFHE logo and before the 1995 Fox Video logo. Also appears before the rare CBS/Fox Video logo on the UK VHS release of FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue.
  • The last titles to have this logo were American Dad! Volume 3 and the 2008 DVD release of Babes in Toyland (1934).
  • The version without the fade-out appears on VHS and Laserdiscs of the 1995 Star Wars Trilogy. This variant can also be seen on some home video releases by the company such as The Towering Inferno (without previews), the 1995 VHS of Snoopy Come Home, Bye Bye Love, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, The Last Winter, Nutcracker on Ice, the 1995 Laserdisc releases of Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Aliens, the 1995 Canadian VHS print of Bachelor Party, the John Hughes remake of Miracle on 34th Street, and the 1995 VHS of A Christmas Carol. It is unknown which DVDs used this version as most used the standard version with the fade-out.
  • The version that fades in at the beginning and cuts out at the end of the logo is on the original 1996 VHS of Nine Months.
  • The version where the logo faded in from black can be seen on the VHS releases of 1998's Dr. Dolittle, Rusty: The Great Rescue (a.k.a. Rusty: A Dog's Tale), and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
  • Appears at the end of Casper Meets Wendy on Disney Channel and ABC Family (now Freeform).
  • While it does appear at the end of the last few HiT Entertainment DVDs that they released, it doesn't appear at the beginning of any of them.
  • It makes a surprise appearance at the start of Starz's print of A Troll in Central Park.

Editor's Note: This isn't anything too memorable, but it isn't a completely awful logo, either. It's a simple but effective logo design.

2nd Logo (2004-2009)

Provided ID could not be validated.JDVEDijPyv8</youtube>Provided ID could not be validated.6HvqhbcdGyg}}

Nicknames: Box Structure III, "Ultra Majestic Tower II", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights II", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights II", "Majestic Tower V", "Futuristic Structure V"

Logo: Here are the versions used on VHS/LD and DVD:

  • VHS/LD: We see the 1994 Fox logo animate as normal until, about 13 seconds in, it zooms out, revealing the logo inside an inner box, itself contained inside an outer box on a blue-violet background with blurry searchlights, and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, stopping at the bottom of the inside of the outer box underneath the inner box containing the Fox logo (without the News Corporation byline).
  • DVDs cut to the Fox logo being revealed inside the box.

FX/SFX: The usual CGI used in the Fox logo, coupled with the zoom out of the text below.

Music/Sounds: The 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement (VHS and LD only); silent on the DVDs.

Availability: Depends on where you live in, but as a whole, uncommon.

  • With the exception of a few Canadian releases such as the 2000 VHS of Thunder and Lightning, you won't find it anywhere in North America. However, it's easy to find if you are in another country such as the UK.
  • Strangely, this logo does not appear on the 1998 UK rental VHS of Edward Scissorhands, which features the Fox Video logo.
  • The DVD version can be seen on early UK DVD releases including the original Miracle on 34th Street.
  • Also seen on the 1995 Hong Kong Laserdisc of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. It also made a surprise appearance on the 2012 release of The Simpsons Season 1 Region 4 DVD set (due to being a reprint of the 2001 release).
  • The DVD variant also appears on the 2001 Australian DVD releases of Titan A.E. and Romancing the Stone.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1999-2010)

<youtube width=240 height=185>>|
<youtube width=240 height=185>>lWz-8obdX4Q}}

Nicknames: "Ultra Majestic Tower III", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights III", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights III", "Majestic Tower VI", "Futuristic Structure VI", "The Tower of Streaks"

Logo: The standard 20th Century Fox logo which animates in a faster rate, but there are many circular streaks of orange and blue placed over it, which animate on and off the screen. When the logo is done, blue and purple gradient bars on top and bottom wipe in and the logo's sky background dissolves into a different cloud background, and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" (in the same fonts as before) appears via folding effect below the logo, and then fades out via blur effect after a few seconds leaving just the logo, which then fades out.

Variant:

  • On an international home video trailer for Ice Age, the logo is in blue on a sky background with snow around it and a crack on it.
  • On an international home video trailer for Futurama releases, the "30th" part seen in the variant for the 20th Century Fox Television logo used on the show slams down onto the "20th" and crushes it.

FX/SFX: The usual Fox tower animation coupled with the CGI "streaks".

Music/Sounds: Early releases and VHS tapes had the standard tone 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement (which is strange for PAL releases), while later releases had the high tone 1997 fanfare arrangement (which is normal for PAL releases).

Availability: Like with the previous logo, this was only used outside North America, except on a few Canadian releases.

  • Examples include the UK release of Ice Age and various The Simpsons VHS's and DVD's.
  • Also appears on the Japanese Laserdisc of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (with the 1994 fanfare).
  • It also appears on post-2006 European MGM DVD releases as well, however, it didn't appear on any MGM releases they distributed beforehand, as they just simply had the MGM DVD logo.
  • It doesn't appear on any UK Pathé releases as they just use their own logo.
  • The standard tone 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement music variant strangely appears on the 2004 Region 4 DVD release of Family Guy: Season Two.
  • The logo makes a surprise appearance on US DVD releases of season 1 of Modern Family (released in 2010), Glee season 5 (released 2014) and season 5 of Bones (released 2010, disc 5 only).
  • Don't expect to see this on their Australian VHS releases of The Magic School Bus.

Editor's Note: It's pretty much the same as the movie logo. Nothing too special.


3rd Logo (2006?-2010)

<youtube width=240 height=185>>|
<youtube width=240 height=185>>he7zQmvdDMw}}

Logo: Same as the 2nd logo, but when the 1994 logo is formed, the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in metallic gold zoom out below the logo (without the News Corporation byline), and the streaks of orange and blue all disappear at the end.

FX/SFX: Same as the 2nd logo. Little effort is put into this logo aside from the 1994 Fox logo itself.

Music/Sounds: The 1997 fanfare arrangement.

Availability: Extremely rare, it is more difficult to find compared to the other logo as it is on less releases.

  • The only known releases to use this was the 2006 European Blu-Ray of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, and a few Canadian releases like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Editor's Note: None.

Final Note: Current international releases use the 4th domestic logo.


Fox DVD Video

(2000-2002)

<youtube width=240 height=185>>|
<youtube width=240 height=185>>ONg1r6GDUZk}}

Nickname: "Metallic Fox Structure", "Fox Storm"

Logo:

  • Opening: A metallic structure that says "FOX DVD VIDEO" (with "FOX" on top of "DVD" and "VIDEO" in an oval) zooms in. A light then highlights the logo and moves from right to left (also getting the background). The structure is gradually turning and zooms toward the screen, with the viewer going through the "O" in "FOX" , revealing a trailer or promo.
  • Closing: The same logo as before, only the background is moving around and is blue.

FX/SFX: The zooming in and out and turning of the structure.

Music/Sounds:

  • On the opening version, there is a quick beat with a male announcer asking, "Are you ready for Fox DVD Video?".
  • The closing version has a static noise. Both versions have a "whoosh" noise when the logo moves.

Availability: Rare. This was actually meant for a promo on VHS and early Fox DVD releases from the era talking about DVD and its features. Can be seen on most if not all 2000-2002 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment DVD releases such as X-Men, Silent Trigger, Fight Club, Nine Months, Where the Heart Is, Titan A.E., Airheads, the "Five Star Collection" releases of Speed and Independence Day, the 10th Anniversary Edition of Edward Scissorhands and the Die Hard: Ultimate Collection box set. Don't expect to see this on the 2001 DVD releases of The Simpsons: The Complete First Season or Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Editor's Note: None.


20th Century Fox Blu-ray Disc

(2006-November 2010)

<youtube width=240 height=185>>|
<youtube width=240 height=185>>K8g73Sq3sBQ}}

Nicknames: "Blu-ray Tower", "Majestic Tower V", "Futuristic Structure V"

Logo: We see the 20th Century Fox logo zooming in slowly, with the words HOME ENTERTAINMENT in gold at the bottom, shining. Then a blue streak changes the text to the "Blu-ray Disc" logo, leaving behind a "swoosh" shape as it does this.

FX/SFX: The zooming in, the shining, and the words changing.

Music/Sounds: A calm, majestic fanfare, followed by a slight laser sound for the blue flash.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The title screen of the Wii version of Netflix (released in 2010) uses a theme that sounds extremely similar to this logo's theme.

Availability: Common. It can be seen on every TCF release on Blu-ray disc until November 2010, and appears on European releases as well.

  • It appeared on releases such as Die Hard, Fight Club, Ice Age, Australia, and The Day the Earth Stood Still.
  • It can also be seen on MGM Home Entertainment releases on Blu-ray Disc, including Valkyrie, and Hot Tub Time Machine, among others.
  • Along with the original version of this logo, it made a surprise re-appearance on the 2013 re-releases of the Die Hard films, the 2015 re-release of The Sound of Music, and the re-release of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York as in the 2015 5-film collection set.
