Revision as of 19:07, 20 August 2024

These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Searchlight Pictures (earlier as Fox Searchlight Pictures), with more to be added overtime.

Fox Searchlight Pictures

Brown Sugar (2002): Once the screen is filled with light, it cuts to the opening scene.


Sunshine (2007): The logo animates in reverse, with the logo's fanfare playing as normal. When the fanfare finishes, the logo fades into a space background except for the sun (which turns out to be the reflection of the Sun on the Icarus II's solar shield), which remains intact.


The Darjeeling Limited (2007): The logo is a bit brighter, the background is a dark blue city skyline, and the fanfare is shortened. The News Corporation byline is in a different font and a bit smaller. There's no camera panning animation, the right searchlight doesn't turn towards the camera, and the right searchlight doesn't fill the screen with light at the end. The sky background has some elements to the 1953 20th Century Fox logo.


Juno (2007): Singer-songwriter Kimya Dawson recorded an intentionally poorly done acapella rendering of the fanfare that would have played over the logo. It went unused because The Simpsons Movie did something similar, but it was included on the deluxe edition of the soundtrack.


Slumdog Millionaire (2008): The logo is slightly slower than usual.


My Name is Khan (2010): The logo cuts in from the Fox Star Studios logo and runs at 25 frames per second (albeit with a normal pitch) and has higher gamma and brightness.


The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) and Isle of Dogs (2018): The bylineless 2011 logo is a still picture, except for the searchlights moving, and the fanfare is not heard. Similar to the logo variation from The Darjeeling Limited, there's no panning animation, the right searchlight doesn't turn towards the camera, and the right searchlight doesn't fill the screen with light at the end.


Battle of the Sexes (2017): The entire logo is a throwback to the 1953 20th Century Fox logo, in keeping with the film's setting, but this time, the structure reads "FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES". It also features the 1935 20th Century Fox fanfare.


The Favourite (2018): The fanfare is sung by squeaks recorded from the set’s rabbit cages.


Lucy In The Sky (2019): A blast off countdown is heard over the 2nd half of the 1997 fanfare. This continues to the TSG Entertainment logo.


Jojo Rabbit (2019): The drumroll part of the fanfare is heard over the opening theme.

Searchlight Pictures

The French Dispatch (2021): Same as The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs.


The Heart Still Hums (2021): The logo is cut to its last seconds and is in 4:3.


Nightmare Alley (2021) and Fresh (2022): The logo is slightly darker and fades out before the entire screen is filled with light.


Nightmare Alley (2021, Vision in Darkness and Light version): The logo is in black and white, like the whole film itself.


Fire Island (2022): The film's main characters vocalize along with the fanfare. Also, before it plays, a guy says "Drums!" before the first searchlight is turned on.


Flamin' Hot (2023): The fanfare (except for the opening drumroll) is played in an upbeat Mexican-esque style, composed by Marcelo Zarvos.



The Greatest Hits (2024): Instead of the normal fanfare, the opening theme is heard. Just before the camera pans to its usual position, the structure blurs with a stereoscopic effect for a split-second.


Kinds of Kindness (2024): The logo is a bit darker and instead of the normal fanfare, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics plays over the animation, which continues into the TSG Entertainment logo.
