===Background===
'''Fox Star Studios''' is an Indian film production company. It was formed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century '''Fox''']] and Asia's [[Disney Star IDs|'''STAR''' TV]] (later in 2011 as Star India, now known as Disney Star; both News Corporation subsidiaries at the time) in 2008 to distribute any film from 20th Century Fox in India or produce Bollywood hits such as ''My Name is Khan''. The first film they distributed was ''Australia'', and the first Bollywood movie they distributed was the British-produced ''Slumdog Millionaire'' (as ''Slumdog Corepati''). Previously, Fox operated an Indian branch until 2005 when it was closed down. Distribution of Fox titles in that region would be handled by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] until 2008. On January 17, 2020, The Walt Disney Company announced that 20th Century Fox would be rebranded to 20th Century Studios; however, Fox Star Studios retained its name until May 27, 2022, when the parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to '''Star Studios''', exactly two years after Disney began dropping the Fox name from several sister units including 20th Century Studios. It wouldn't have an on-screen logo until September 9, 2022, with the release of ''Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva''.

'''Logo:''' It's nearly the same as the Fox Star Studios logo, except "'''FOX'''" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the 2020 STAR logo, with Star India's 2011 logo instead of the letter "A" (in the same manner as its Disney+ Star content hub and [[Star+]] logo) can be seen instead of "'''STAR'''" and its symbol to the right of the text like the previous logo. The word "'''STUDIOS'''" is also in a different font and larger to accommodate the size of the structure, and the registered symbol is also removed as well. The logo has also been redone, with more realistic lighting and textures, a slightly enhanced sky backdrop, different palm trees, sleeker and shinier-looking searchlights, a larger and more detailed Los Angeles cityscape (albeit without the Hollywood Sign), with slightly different camera movements and overall design, but still keeping the same animation.
'''Visuals:''' The design is similar to the Fox Star Studios logo, except "'''FOX'''" has been removed from the top of the structure, and with Star India's 2011 logo taking the place of the letter "A" (in the same manner as its Disney+ Star content hub and [[Star+]] logo). The word "'''STUDIOS'''" is also in a different font and larger to accommodate the size of the structure, and the registered symbol is also removed as well. The overall design of the logo is based on the [[20th Century Studios]] logo, albeit with some altered details, such as the Hollywood sign being removed and a searchlight unseen in the original logo appearing behind the structure.

'''Closing Variant:''' At the end of films, the print logo is seen, scrolling with the credits.


'''Technique:''' Same as the Fox Star Studios logo. Unlike the [[20th Century Studios]] logo, this was based on Picturemill's work, in turn, based on Blue Sky's design.
'''Technique:''' CGI, based on Picturemill's revision of 20th Century's now-defunct animated sibling company Blue Sky Studios' work of the final 20th Century Fox logo.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A brand new rendition of the 20th Century Studios fanfare. This version has Indian instruments such as sitar, sarod, tambura, sahnai, sarangi, and tabla being heard in the composition. It also sounds similar to the 1979 and 1982 fanfares. Arranged by A.R. Rahman.
'''Audio:''' An Indian-themed rearrangement of the 20th Century Studios fanfare that utilizes instruments such as sitar, sarod, tambura, sahnai, sarangi, and tabla. A riff is added at the end of the fanfare as well.

Background

Star Studios is an Indian film production company. It was formed by 20th Century Fox and Asia's STAR TV (later in 2011 as Star India, now known as Disney Star; both News Corporation subsidiaries at the time) as Fox Star Studios in 2008 to distribute any film from 20th Century Fox in India or produce Bollywood hits such as My Name is Khan. The first film they distributed was Australia, and the first Bollywood movie they distributed was the British-produced Slumdog Millionaire (as Slumdog Crorepati). Previously, Fox operated an Indian branch until 2005 when it was closed down. Distribution of Fox titles in that region would be handled by Warner Bros. Pictures until 2008. On January 17, 2020, The Walt Disney Company announced that 20th Century Fox would be rebranded to 20th Century Studios; however, Fox Star Studios retained its name until May 27, 2022, when the parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to Star Studios, exactly two years after Disney began dropping the Fox name from several sister units including 20th Century Studios. It wouldn't have an on-screen logo until September 9, 2022, with the release of Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva.

Bylines:

  • February 10, 2010-September 27, 2013: "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY"

  • Open-matte versions of the logo exist.
  • Sometimes, the registered trademark sign is removed from the logo.
  • Starting with the release of Bullett Raja on November 28, 2013 in the US and a day later in India, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time ever, due to the aforementioned split on June 28, 2013.

Closing Variants: Commonly, no closing logo is used at all, except for a few exceptions:

  • On films such as Shikara, the print logo is seen, scrolling with the credits.
