'''Visuals:''' The 1994 20th Century Fox logo is seen already formed. However, it now reads "'''FOX <span style=" font-family: Impact; Arial, sans;">TELEVISION</span> STUDIOS'''" all in differing fonts: "'''FOX'''" is in a modified version of the regular TCF typeface, "<span style=" font-family: Impact; Arial, sans;">TELEVISION</span>" is in a similar font to the "<span style=" font-family: Impact; Arial, sans;">SEARCHLIGHT</span>" text in the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo, and "'''STUDIOS'''" is in a Gill Sans Condensed-esque font. The searchlights are all off, and a thunderstorm is brewing over the structure. Suddenly, lightning strikes the stage of the tower, causing the searchlights turn on. The byline "{{Font|Serif|'''A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY'''}}" fades in below (until 2013). |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Trivia:''' The background of this logo was later reused for the 2003 [[Fox Lab]] logo. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Variants:''' |
|
|
* This logo is seen for a split-second at the beginning of the [[Foxstar Productions]] logo from 1998 onward. |
|
|
* The logo was redone with a new background, cheaper animation, a different design and more realistic effects in 2008. The byline is now in all caps and rendered in a Times font. |
|
|
* Sometimes, the logo is bylineless, but has always been bylineless since 2013, due to the News Corp. split. |
|
|
* On ''Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt'' and the first four season DVD releases of ''Soul Food: The Series'', a short version is used. |
|
|
* An extended version exists, where the tower (seen darkened) slowly turns and zooms in a bit with lightning in the background. The logo then continues as normal, staying on a few seconds with more searchlight animation and the extended fanfare. |
|
|
* On the TV movie ''Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House'', the logo has more searchlight animation, but not as much as above. On an [[ABC Family Originals|ABC Family]] (now [[Freeform Originals|Freeform]]) airing, this version is shortened to the last three seconds. |
|
|
* The DVD and initial TV edits of ''Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy'' have a slightly cropped version of the logo. The ending theme plays over it and it appears before the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] logo. This is plastered with the 2008 variant in a 2015 revision of the special (which is also the version used on Disney+). |
|
|
* A still version exists. |
|
|
* Sometimes, the logo is shown in-credit. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Technique:''' CGI. The original 1998 version was done by Flip Your Lid Animation, and the 2008 "enhanced" version was done by Cinergy Creative. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Audio:''' Sounds of thunder and lightning, followed by a rearrangement of the final four notes of the 1997 Fox fanfare conducted by David Newman when the structure turns on. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Audio Variants:''' |
|
|
* In some cases, it's the closing theme of the show, the generic network theme or none. |
|
|
* The long version has thunder and an extended short version of the Fox fanfare. |
|
|
* On ''Olive the Other Reindeer'' and a handful of season 1 episodes of ''Malcolm in the Middle'', the 1997 TCFTV music is used, abridged to the last two notes on the latter. |
|
|
* On ''The Glades'', the second half of the 2005 TCFTV theme is used without any thunder sounds. |
|
|
* The ''Home Alone 4'' version has the extended version of the music in low-tone. |
|
|
* On some shows starting in 2013, it uses the last four notes of the 1997 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] movie fanfare, accompanied by a different thunder stock sound. This version would later be used for the 2015 TCFTV fanfare, minus the thunder sound. |
|
|
* On Fox airings of ''Olive the Other Reindeer'' and ''Murder in Small Town X'', a different thunder sound plays over a generic theme. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Availability:''' Still intact on the company's productions unless deleted out or plastered other by other logos like this logo's 2008 variant. |
|
|
* This logo made its first appearance on the 1998 TV movie ''Gargantua''. |
|
|
* This was also seen on ''The Glades'', ''Burn Notice'', ''White Collar'', the short-lived ''The Good Guys'', ''Maron'', and ''Saving Grace'', among others. |
|
|
* It can be seen on most comedies that Fox produced like ''The Hughleys'' and was also seen on network airings of ''Malcolm in the Middle''. |
|
|
* It also appeared on ''The Shield'', and is left intact on DVD releases. |
|
|
** However, HD releases of the show replace the original version with the 2008 variant. |
|
|
* Some shows on Fox Sports Net also used this logo. |
|
|
* Some reruns of shows like ''The Hughleys'' (last seen on FXX and Bounce) and ''Malcolm in the Middle'' on Fuse plaster it with the [[20th Television]] logo (sometimes leaving the music intact). |
|
|
* It was also seen on ''The Girls Next Door'' last seen on E! and preserved on Tubi prints. |
|
|
* The long version so far was only seen on ''Night of the Headless Horseman''. |
|
|
* Nickelodeon's print of ''Olive the Other Reindeer'' plastered this with 20th Television, while Cartoon Network and The WB's print didn't show any Fox logo. |
|
|
* Reruns of ''Malcolm in the Middle'' on Comedy Central UK plaster this with the 2013 bylineless 20th Century Fox Television logo, whilst some episodes from later in the series run retain this logo. |
|
|
** However, on Netflix prints of ''Malcolm in the Middle'', this logo is plastered by the 2013 bylineless 20th Century Fox Television logo on all episodes. |
|
|
** Hulu prints of the sixth and seventh seasons of ''Malcolm in the Middle'' also retain this logo, beginning with the sixth season episode "Tiki Lounge" and it is also preserved on Aussie airings thereof. |
|
|
** Some current prints of the show, like on 4Music UK airings, plaster the original logo with the 2008 version. |
|
|
* On current HD prints of ''Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House'' (TV, digital, etc.), this is plastered by the 2008 20th Television logo, sometimes leaving the FTS theme intact. |
