Background

On August 10, 2020, Fox 21 Television Studios was rebranded as Touchstone Television; this served as both a revival of Disney's Touchstone brand, and their overall removal of the "Fox" name off of properties Disney inherited from 21st Century Fox. In December 2020, Touchstone Television was folded into 20th Television.

Logo (October 6, 2020)

Visuals: Similar to the Fox 21 and Fox 21 Television Studios logos, but the word "touchstone" replaces "fox21 television studios" and is seen being typed on the paper, then the word "television" replacing the dot at the end pops in below.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The same as the Fox 21 and Fox 21 Television Studios logos; the typing sounds accompany the typing of "touchstone", and the "ding" sound accompanies the appearance of "television", with the text being smaller overall.

Availability: Disney introduced this logo on YouTube on the day the branding was announced, and made its only on-screen appearance on the Hulu anthology horror film Books of Blood.

Final Note

Despite Touchstone Television folding into 20th Television, the name still existed as a copyright notice until 2021, within the text reading as "© [YEAR] Touchstone Television".

Copyright Stamps

Here is some information about the copyright stamps on Touchstone Television/20th Television series (starting in 2020):

-'''Availability:''' Disney introduced this logo on YouTube on the day the branding was announced and is was expected to appear on shows formerly produced under Fox 21 by the end of the year, but the company was folded by 20th Television, so this may retire very soon. However, it is first seen on ''Books of Blood''. Don't expect to see this on the first season of ''Ratched''.

-'''Editor's Note:''' While a nice attempt to revive the "Touchstone" brand name, this logo can be viewed as a disappointment as it uses the same concept from the Fox 21 and Fox 21 Television Studios logos and they haven't used the iconic Thunderball logo here. It didn't last very long though, as 20th Television folded the company.
