'''Fox Interactive''' was a video game publisher and developer owned by [[20th Century Studios Home Entertainment|20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]], formed in May 1994. It mainly focused on titles based on their properties, though they were also involved with original titles, including ''Croc: Legend of the Gobbos'' and ''No One Lives Forever.'' It was a loose successor to [[Fox Video Games]], which was formed in 1982 but was soon shut down due the the video game crash of 1983. The company stopped publishing its own games in 2001, and gave their titles to other publishers. In 2003, Fox Interactive was acquired by [[Vivendi Games|Vivendi Universal Games]] for an undisclosed sum. After being purchased, the name was reduced to solely being a label for 20th Century Fox games published by Vivendi Universal Games. The label would be phased out by 2006, although Vivendi Universal continued to publish titles based on 20th Century Fox properties, with such examples including ''Ice Age 2: The Meltdown'', ''Eragon'', and ''Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem''. 20th Century Fox would later partner with other publishers to create games based on their properties, something which continues on to this day. New games based on [[20th Century Studios]] titles are now in the hands of other publishers, and simply use the [[20th Century Games]] logo instead. Today, most of Fox Interactive's game library, which was copyrighted to 20th Century Fox, is owned by [[The Walt Disney Company]] through 20th Century Studios, while current video games based on 20th Century properties (which is owned by and operated under Disney since 2019) have been licensed out to third-party publishers on console and mobile devices. |

===2nd Logo (February 29, 1996-August 12, 2003)=== |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo (in terms of its general design) is pretty unique among Fox logos, having enough elements to differentiate itself from its other subsidiaries, but nonetheless having enough elements that make it distinctly a Fox logo. The synthesized version of the movie fanfare is also pretty cool too. |

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a globe floating in the center of a gold-bordered box, against a blue/purple/gold sky background from the [[20th Century Studios|theatrical logo]]. Four searchlights move behind the globe, causing it to rotate, and a huge explosion of gold fireworks to appear behind it. The gold-lined structure from the 1st logo appears underneath the globe, and the glowing text "'''FOX'''", in the same font as the 1st logo, flies in from the top of the globe and moves into its usual position. The searchlights also move into their normal crossed position, and after it does so, the globe stops moving. As the logo animates, the gold border slowly grows at the bottom to make room for the white text "INTERACTIVE", which flashes in as the logo completes. The "FOX" text, along with the gold border, then shines. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' On ''Die Hard Arcade'' on [[Sega Saturn]] and ''Die Hard Trilogy'' on Sega Saturn, [[PlayStation]] and PC, some of the soft drink health pickups the player finds in the game have the Fox Interactive logo on the can. Also, in ''Team Losi: R/C Racer'' on PlayStation, at some tracks, the Fox Interactive logo can be seen on some posters and walls. |

=== 3rd Logo (October 31, 1995) === |
|||
[[File:20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (1995, PC).jpg|center|frameless]] |
|||
'''Logo:''' Same as the domestic [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] logo from the time, but with some differences. The logo starts with a very slow fade-in, and it's still before animating; then, after fully animating, it freezes before fading out. The logo is also darker and slower. |
|||
'''Variant:''' There's also a still bitmap of the end of the normal logo, found in the game's files in the menus directory. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' The way this logo fades and freezes is rather similar to the version found on the Widescreen Series promo on some 1996 Fox tapes. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the 1995-2008 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None. |
|||
'''Availability:''' It was only used on ''Icebreaker'' for PC. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' A true oddity. This was probably used as a placeholder for the next logo. |

Visuals: On a white background, there is a still image of the Fox Interactive logo, enclosed in a black rectangle. It consists of a blue globe on top of a black structure with two gold lines, with "FOX" curved across it in the movie logo's font, and four searchlights in the back forming an X-cross-like formation, all against a sky blue background. Below it is the white text "INTERACTIVE", and underneath the rectangle is the byline "A UNIT OF FOX, INC.".

Visuals: On a black background, there is a globe floating in the center of a gold-bordered box, against a blue/purple/gold sky background from the theatrical logo. Four searchlights move behind the globe, causing it to rotate, and a huge explosion of gold fireworks to appear behind it. The gold-lined structure from the 1st logo appears underneath the globe, and the glowing text "FOX", in the same font as the 1st logo, flies in from the top of the globe and moves into its usual position.

As the logo animates, the gold border slowly grows at the bottom to make room for the white text "INTERACTIVE", which flashes in as the logo completes. The "FOX" text, along with the gold border, then shines.
Trivia: On Die Hard Arcade on Sega Saturn and Die Hard Trilogy on Sega Saturn, PlayStation and PC, some of the soft drink health pickups the player finds in the game have the Fox Interactive logo on the can.
