Background
Fox 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) 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 with the registered symbol 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.
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.
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.
Availability: Current.
- Debuted as a print logo on posters and on-screen as a variant.
- The full logo then debuted theatrically in Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, released on September 9, 2022 in theatres and later on Babli Bouncer, released on September 23 that same year on Disney+ Hotstar.
