'''Fox Searchlight Pictures''' was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (now owned by [[The Walt Disney Company]]) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) mainly to release independent, arthouse, horror, and foreign films, as well as some comedy, action, romance, and family films. |
||
On January 17, 2020, parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it '''Searchlight Pictures'''. |

'''Nicknames:''' "The Searchlights II", "Fox Searchlight Structure II", "CGI Searchlights" |
|||
'''Logo:''' We start out looking at a city skyline (most likely that of Los Angeles, California). The camera begins to move right, past a searchlight. The searchlight turns on, followed by two more in the background turning on. We then reach the middle of the Fox "stack" structure, but instead of seeing a narrow "'''CENTURY'''", we see a large "'''SEARCHLIGHT'''". The camera pulls back and reveals "'''FOX'''" above and "'''PICTURES'''" below. After the logo is finished zooming out, the byline "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY'''}}" fades in, then the rightmost searchlight moves towards us, filling the screen with light, then we fade out. |
|||
'''Visuals:''' The logo starts with the camera looking at a city skyline (most likely that of Los Angeles, California). The camera begins to move right, past a searchlight. The searchlight turns on, followed by two more in the background turning on. The camera then reaches the middle of the stack to see the text from before, as the camera pulls back. After the logo is finished zooming out, the byline "'''A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY'''" fades in, then the rightmost searchlight moves towards the camera, filling the screen with light and turning it white, then the screen fades out. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' There is a brief animation rendering error about 7 seconds into the logo, as the camera pans past the front-right searchlight (before approaching the main structure). When it reaches the left side of the screen, the lighting and shading on the searchlight base suddenly shifts and changes positions. |

'''Visuals:''' A redone and more realistic version of the previous Fox Searchlight Pictures logo, based on the structure of the 2009-2020 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo. This time, it is in a dark/orange evening environment. Palm trees can be seen at the bottom at the start (as well as the addition of the Hollywood sign on the hills), three searchlights are deleted, and the right searchlight is pointing to the screen when it fills the screen with light. An "®" symbol is also now added to the logo. |

'''Variants:''' |
'''Variants:''' |
||
* |
*There are variants where the structure is seen in an extreme close-up (ala cropped from scope into 1.78:1) or shown at a far distance in the entire 16:9 frame. |
||
* |
*A 4:3 variant exists, which was seen on some TV spots, and is also preserved on fullscreen prints of many films from 2012 onward, starting with ''Sound of My Voice''. |
||
* |
*Starting with the release of ''Enough Said'' on September 18, 2013, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time since the 1995 logo. This is mainly due to the split of News Corporation on June 28, 2013. |
||
* |
*On April 29, 2014, the company celebrated its 20th anniversary, where "20TH ANNIVERSARY" is engraved under "PICTURES". There is also no full version of this variant, nor did it appear on any films. |
||
* |
*On April 29, 2019, the company celebrated its 25th anniversary. The screen is filled with light earlier than usual, and it fades to a dark grey background with a silver rectangle. The object has a large "25" on the left with "YEARS" inside the 5 in the first quarter on the left, and in the other three quarters is the print logo, minus the searchlights. Although this appeared on trailers for ''Antlers'', the next logo appeared on the film itself. |
||
* The logo is cut short on trailers and TV spots, like before. On ''The Grand Budapest Hotel'' and ''Isle of Dogs'', there is a similar short version, go to [[Logo Variations - Searchlight Pictures|this page]] for more info. |
|||
'''Technique:''' CGI, designed and animated by the now-defunct [[Blue Sky Studios]]. Like the 2009-2020 TCF logo, this was made using Autodesk Maya. |
|||
<!--T:33--> |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as before, but with more realistic effects. Very nice CGI. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A few seconds of silence, then as the first searchlight turns on, the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare plays. |
|||
<!--T:34--> |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A few seconds of silence, then as the searchlight turns on, the 1997 Fox fanfare plays. |
|||
'''Audio Variant:''' On the 25 Years variant, when the searchlight flashes, a slightly reorchestrated last note can be heard (if one listens closely), along with the 1997 fanfare's own last note. |
|||
<!--T:35--> |
|||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' |
|||
* On ''The Favourite'', the Fox fanfare is sung by a group of birds. |
|||
* On the 25 Years variant, when the searchlight flashes, a slightly rearranged last note can be heard if you do so closely along with the fanfare's own last note. |
|||
* On ''Lucy in the Sky'', a blast off countdown is heard over the second half of the Fox fanfare, continuing into the other logos. |
|||
* On ''Jojo Rabbit'', the opening theme is used instead, with the drumroll intact. |
|||
* On ''The Grand Budapest Hotel'' and ''Isle of Dogs'', the logo is completely silent. This is most likely due to the fact they use a shortened version of the logo. |
|||
* Like the second logo, the fanfare is higher-pitched on the UK and Australian physical media releases of all films with this logo, except those described above. |
|||
'''Availability:''' |
|||
<!--T:36--> |
|||
*This logo first appeared on the trailers for ''The Tree of Life'' on December 16, 2010, ''Cedar Rapids'' just two months later (the film itself used the previous logo), and on later trailers for ''Win Win'', which was also the first film with this logo. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Very common. |
|||
*The last film to use this logo with the News Corporation byline was ''The Way Way Back''. |
|||
* First seen on the trailers for ''The Tree of Life'', ''Cedar Rapids'' (the film itself used the third logo), and on later trailers for ''Win Win'', which was also the first film with this logo. |
|||
* |
*The last feature film to use this logo with the "Fox Searchlight Pictures" name was ''A Hidden Life'', and the last short film released under the name was ''Sew Torn''. |
||
*The 20th Anniversary variant is unused and was only seen on a video to promote said anniversary. |
|||
* The last feature film to use this logo with the "Fox Searchlight Pictures" name was ''A Hidden Life'', and the last short film released under the "Fox Searchlight Pictures" name was ''Sew Torn''. |

'''Visuals:''' Basically an enhanced version of the last logo. It's nearly the same as before, except "'''FOX'''" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the words are slightly taller and larger to accommodate for it, a la the final [[Fox Interactive]] logo. The Los Angeles cityscape and the mountains in the background are larger and more detailed with greater depth, the skyline is different, the ® symbol has been removed, the searchlights (aside from their light beams) are a lot darker in color (compared to the [[20th Century Studios]] logo which has the same colors for the searchlights but sleeker and shinier), and the Hollywood sign is pushed up to resemble the one in real life. After the searchlight fills the screen with light, it cuts to black instead of fading to black. |

|||
'''Nicknames:''' "The Searchlights IV", "Searchlight Structure", "Disney Structure", "Non-Fox Structure", "CGI Searchlights III" |
|||
<!--T:40--> |
|||
'''Logo:''' Basically an enhanced version of the last logo. It's nearly the same as before, except "'''FOX'''" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the words are slightly taller and larger to accommodate for it, a la the final [[Fox Interactive]] logo. The Los Angeles cityscape in the background is larger and more detailed with greater depth, the mountains are more realistic and multilayered, the skyline is much different, the ® symbol has been removed, the searchlights (aside from their light beams) are a lot darker in color (compared to the [[20th Century Studios]] logo which has the same colors for the searchlights but sleeker and shinier), and the Hollywood sign is pushed up to resemble the one in real life. |
|||
'''Variant:''' On ''Downhill'' (the logo's debut) and ''Nomadland'', the screen fades to black at the end (like the previous logos) instead of cutting to black. |
|||
<!--T:41--> |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the previous logo. Still very nice CGI designed and animated by MOCEAN (which also made the 2018 [[Miramax Films]] logo), based on [[Blue Sky Studios|Blue Sky]]'s design. |
|||
'''Technique:''' CGI, designed and animated by MOCEAN, based on Blue Sky's design. This was animated with Cinema 4D and rendered with Autodesk Arnold Renderer. An example of how this logo was made can be seen [https://workingnotworking.com/projects/227230-searchlight-pictures-theatrical-logo here]. |
|||
<!--T:42--> |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A few seconds of silence, then as the first searchlight turns on, the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare plays. |
|||
<!--T:43--> |
|||
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On ''The French Dispatch'' and ''Antlers'', the logo is completely silent. |
|||
'''Audio Variant:''' Otherwise, none or the opening theme of the film. |
|||
<!--T:44--> |
|||
'''Availability:''' Current and common. |
|||
* First seen on "For Your Consideration" spots for ''Jojo Rabbit'' (the film itself has the previous logo) and then first appeared theatrically on ''Downhill''. It also appeared on ''Wendy'', ''The Personal History of David Copperfield'', ''Nomadland'', ''Summer of Soul'', ''The Night House'', ''The Eyes of Tammy Faye'', ''The French Dispatch'', ''Antlers'', ''Nightmare Alley'', ''Fresh'', ''Fire Island'' (albeit using a variant), US prints of ''Good Luck to You, Leo Grande'', and ''See How They Run''. |
|||
* As production of ''Being Mortal'' (2023) has been suspended, it is unknown if the logo will appear on that film. |
|||
* Also appears as a de-facto home video logo on current Searchlight Pictures home media releases, after the final TCFHE logo retired, and is the first logo here to do so. |
|||
'''Availability:''' |
|||
<!--T:45--> |
|||
* This logo first appeared on "For Your Consideration" spots for ''Jojo Rabbit'' (the film itself has the previous logo), released on January 29, 2020. |
|||
'''Legacy:''' Like the [[20th Century Studios]] logo, the name change can be annoying and divisive to some. Regardless, this is still an excellent logo. This is also the first logo since the 1996 FSP logo to remove the ® symbol in the logo. |
|||
* It then made its official theatrical debut on ''Downhill'', released on February 14, 2020, and is then seen on every film following it. |
|||
* It is also seen as a de-facto home video logo on current Searchlight Pictures home media releases, after the final TCFHE logo retired, and is the first logo here to do so. |
|||
** It appears hidden in the files on the Blu-ray releases of ''Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'' and ''The Little Mermaid''. |

Fox Searchlight Pictures was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (now owned by The Walt Disney Company) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) mainly to release independent, arthouse, horror, and foreign films, as well as some comedy, action, romance, and family films.
On January 17, 2020, parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it Searchlight Pictures.
Visuals: On a black background, there is a vertical white line on the middle left which protrudes to the bottom of the middle. On the right of the line is the company name, aligned to the left and set in Bodega Serif Black.
Technique: A still image.
Audio: Just the soundtrack from the trailer.
Availability:
Visuals: There is a still picture of a modified 1994 20th Century Fox logo; the text "20th CENTURY FOX" is replaced with "FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES", with "SEARCHLIGHT" in the middle larger, and with "FOX" above and "PICTURES" below, respectively. The News Corporation byline is intact, but the registered symbol is removed.
Trivia: This logo is based on the 1992 20th Television logo, but with the sky background from the Foxstar Productions logo. This was designed by Studio Productions (now known as "Flip Your Lid Animation") in collaboration with Topix.
Technique: A still image.
Audio: None, or the opening theme of the film/trailer.
Availability:
Visuals: The logo starts with the camera looking at a city skyline (most likely that of Los Angeles, California). The camera begins to move right, past a searchlight. The searchlight turns on, followed by two more in the background turning on. The camera then reaches the middle of the stack to see the text from before, as the camera pulls back. After the logo is finished zooming out, the byline "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY" fades in, then the rightmost searchlight moves towards the camera, filling the screen with light and turning it white, then the screen fades out.
Trivia: There is a brief animation rendering error about seven seconds into the logo, as the camera pans past the front-right searchlight (before approaching the main structure). When it reaches the left side of the screen, the lighting and shading on the searchlight base suddenly shifts and changes positions.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A few seconds of silence, then as the first searchlight turns on, the 1994 20th Century Fox fanfare, composed by Bruce Broughton, plays.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on all Fox Searchlight films from this era, beginning with Blood and Wine, and it made its final appearance on Cedar Rapids (trailers for said film use the next logo).
Visuals: A redone and more realistic version of the previous Fox Searchlight Pictures logo, based on the structure of the 2009-2020 20th Century Fox logo. This time, it is in a dark/orange evening environment. Palm trees can be seen at the bottom at the start (as well as the addition of the Hollywood sign on the hills), three searchlights are deleted, and the right searchlight is pointing to the screen when it fills the screen with light. An "®" symbol is also now added to the logo.
Trivia:
Bylines:
Variants:
Technique: CGI, designed and animated by the now-defunct Blue Sky Studios. Like the 2009-2020 TCF logo, this was made using Autodesk Maya.
Audio: A few seconds of silence, then as the first searchlight turns on, the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare plays.
Audio Variant: On the 25 Years variant, when the searchlight flashes, a slightly reorchestrated last note can be heard (if one listens closely), along with the 1997 fanfare's own last note.
Availability:
Visuals: Basically an enhanced version of the last logo. It's nearly the same as before, except "FOX" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the words are slightly taller and larger to accommodate for it, a la the final Fox Interactive logo. The Los Angeles cityscape and the mountains in the background are larger and more detailed with greater depth, the skyline is different, the ® symbol has been removed, the searchlights (aside from their light beams) are a lot darker in color (compared to the 20th Century Studios logo which has the same colors for the searchlights but sleeker and shinier), and the Hollywood sign is pushed up to resemble the one in real life. After the searchlight fills the screen with light, it cuts to black instead of fading to black.
Variant: On Downhill (the logo's debut) and Nomadland, the screen fades to black at the end (like the previous logos) instead of cutting to black.
Technique: CGI, designed and animated by MOCEAN, based on Blue Sky's design. This was animated with Cinema 4D and rendered with Autodesk Arnold Renderer. An example of how this logo was made can be seen here.
Audio: A few seconds of silence, then as the first searchlight turns on, the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare plays.
Audio Variant: Otherwise, none or the opening theme of the film.
