Background

Fox STAR Studios was formed by 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) and Asia's STAR TV (both 21st Century Fox subsidiaries) 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). They didn't use a logo until 2010, and shouldn't be confused with Foxstar Productions. On January 17, 2020, The Walt Disney Company announced that 20th Century Fox would be rebranded to 20th Century Studios; however, Fox STAR Studios retains its original name.

(February 12, 2010-)

1994 logo style
Logo with News Corporation byline
2013 version (bylineless)

Nicknames: "CGI Searchlights", "Ultra-Majestic Tower", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights", "The Searchlights", "Majestic Tower", "Decade Tower", "2010s Tower", "Futuristic Structure", "Great Structure", "Fox STAR Structure", "Majestic Fox STAR Structure", "Indian 20th Century Fox", "Indian Disney Tower", "Fox Takes King"

Logo: Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo, but the standard structure is instead replaced by "FOX STAR STUDIOS", with the Star TV's 1998 star symbol next to "STAR" and fitting snugly below the "X" while piercing the lines above it.

Bylines:

February 12, 2010-September 27, 2013: "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY"
November 28, 2013-: Bylineless

Variants:

Sometimes, the logo is still. Here, it looks more like the 1994 Fox logo, but with a darker sky, an orange tint, and a much uglier version of the logo, with bolder text and overly bright lighting.
A prototype of the logo exists. Like the prototype TCF logo, it is blurry at the beginning and white wireframes appear when the logo is in its position.
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.

FX/SFX: Same as the 1994 and 2009 TCF logos and the 2020 TCS logo. None for the still version.

Music/Sounds: The 1997 Fox fanfare. None for the still version.

Availability: Currently in use. The logo can be found on any movie distributed by Fox Star Studios in India. It was first shown before My Name is Khan, even before the 20th Century Fox logo (non-US version) or the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo (US version) itself. The still version can be found on the trailers for said film. This logo is still being used, even after the renaming of 20th Century Fox to 20th Century Studios. The last film to use this logo with the News Corporation byline was Raja Rani, released on September 27, 2013.

Editor's Note: Another great rendition of the 2009 and 2020 Fox logos.
