20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Fox Entertainment Group acquired CBS's interest in CBS/Fox Video and renamed it to "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" on March 16, 1995, alternating with both the CBS/Fox Video and Fox Video names until 2000. Both companies would be dormant later on, going into the next year. The studio was the last major holdout to release its product on DVD, releasing its first seven discs in November of that year, one month after Paramount Home Entertainment released its first DVDs; it also released titles on the DIVX  (Digital Video Express) format.

Because The Walt Disney Company purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019, in 2020, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment was folded into Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment shortly after both 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures were renamed to 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures respectively, and future home media releases would use either a shortened version of the 20th Century Studios logo or the full Searchlight Pictures logo starting with the video releases of The Call of the Wild and Downhill respectively, despite that, the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment name was still used for copyright holding purposes until December of that year.

Starting on July 30, 2024, future physical media releases are distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in North America due to declining sales of releases and the shift to streaming. The first release under this new arrangement was the home media releases of The First Omen. Just before this on June 24, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment started distributing Disney and Sony titles through their Studio Distribution Services joint venture, though Disney titles will still be available exclusively through Sony.

Edit Section


1st Logo (August 29, 1995-October 20, 2009)

Visuals: The end of the 1994 Fox logo, with neither the News Corporation byline nor the registered trademark symbol, cuts in. The camera then zooms out to reveal that it is in a bordered gold box, which is in a larger box colored cadet blue and also bordered gold, and next to the Fox logo box are the gold words "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" in the Méridien font, spanning across three lines.

Trivia:

  • The version of the Fox logo used in the 1995 version is an unedited render of the logo from Flip Your Lid Animation, before it was transferred to film.
  • The box animates at the same framerate as the Fox logo itself in the 2002 version.

Variants:

  • The logo became enhanced in 2002; the box is now grey with a gold border, the company name is now set in ITC Garamond with the exception of the lowercase "y" in "Century", and the Fox logo is now also the filmed version and has the News Corporation byline and registered trademark symbol. This was used in tandem with the original variant until 2009.
  • On some releases, the 1995 logo fades in from black rather than cutting in from black.
  • The first releases with the 1995 version have the logo cut to black at the end of the animation.
  • A B&W variant of the 1995 version exists, which can be found on the 2001 Fox War Classics VHS release of The Desert Rats.
  • A 16:9 version of the 1995 logo also exists, which can be found on the widescreen DVD release of Thumbelina.
  • On the 1996 VHS releases that have the Widescreen Series video promo, the logo fades in and then fades out later right after the animation freezes at the final frame. This was also spotted on the 1995 LaserDisc release of Nell.
  • On Icebreaker, a still bitmap of the end of the logo exists, which can be found in the game's files in the menus directory.
  • A shorter version exists, where the 1995 logo begins halfway through the animation. This has been spotted on the 2005 DVD release of Pet Alien: Atomic Tommy as well as VHS releases of Strawberry Shortcake.
  • On the 1995 retail VHS release of Bushwhacked, the logo cuts to the green MPAA rating screen for the trailer for Down Periscope that follows.
  • On some tapes with the Premiere Series promo, the 1995 logo is shortened and the text on the right from the logo is replaced with the gold words "PREMIERE SERIES" in the Enge Etienne font.
  • At first, there was a 16:9 widescreen version of the 2002 variant, which can be found on the widescreen edition DVD releases. Later on, a full-screen version was made and can be seen on DVD releases of TV shows and full-screen films. In the full-screen version, the logo is cropped and also zooms out to fit the screen as the box stops zooming.
  • On the 2006-07 Blu-ray prints of Ice Age: The Meltdown, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men 1.5, Fantastic Four (2005), the Die Hard trilogy, Alien vs. Predator, Independence Day (1996), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), Planet of the Apes (2001), The Day After Tomorrow, Speed, Fight Club, The Terminator, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Rocky, Chain Reaction, Volcano, Napoleon Dynamite, The Usual Suspects, The Silence of the Lambs, The Sound of Music, Dr. Dolittle (1998), Home Alone, Robots, and Futurama: Bender's Big Score, the 2002 logo is still except for the Fox logo, which is now the corporate version with the rear searchlights re-animated to match the standard version of the 1994 logo, but also reverses at a certain point, a la the 1981 Fox logo's long version. Also, the entire sky (including the clouds and the stars) pans to the right.
  • On some releases such as Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Simpsons Movie, 28 Weeks Later, Hitman, The Comebacks, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, Street Kings, Horton Hears a Who! (2008), Space Chimps, Garfield's Pet Force, Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs, Futurama: Bender's Game, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Platoon, There's Something About Mary, Sons of Anarchy: Season One, The Unit: The Complete Third Season, My Name is Earl Season Three, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Complete Third Season, the 2005 enhanced version of the Fox logo is used.
  • On the Tubi print of FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, the full-screen variant of the enhanced version is squished.
  • The 2008 Global Marketing Partnerships sizzle reel has two variants: the first one opens up with sped-up footage of the 1994 20th Century Fox logo (starting in black-and-white, fading into color), which then cuts to a sped-up version of the 1995 version of the logo, this time with the text "GLOBAL MARKETING PARTNERSHIPS" in gold appearing from behind the box.
    • The second variant of the sizzle reel omits the black-and-white fading (starting in color) at the start, but then replaces the 2nd half's black background with a sepia-toned sunset background, featuring a radio tower broadcasting on round ground. Additional film grain is added to this half.

Technique: CGI. The 20th Century Fox logo is directed by Steve Soffer of Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation) animated using Wavefront computer graphics software in collaboration with Topix, who also did the 1992 20th Television logo based on its model with Image Savant.

Audio: None.

Audio Variants:

  • On the VHS releases with the Widescreen Series promo, announcer Don LaFontaine says "Presenting the Widescreen Series from Fox Video" halfway through the animation.
  • On the DVS VHS release of Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), Kim Mai Guest says "Now, an animated logo appears in three-dimensional gold letters "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment". Spotlights on either side of the logo point skyward and wave back and forth.".

Availability:

  • Seen on TCFHE releases from the time period right up until 2009.
    • Original version (1995-2009):
      • This version can be found on the TCFHE releases from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s, as well as the earliest MGM Home Entertainment releases by the company from early-mid 2006.
      • Outside the U.S. and Canada, this logo can be seen on VHS releases and television broadcasts of both Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy, following the 1996 Saban Entertainment logo.
        • It is also seen on the UK VHS release of Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask after the 1995 international version of the TCFHE logo and before the 1995 Fox Video logo.
        • It is also seen before the rare CBS/Fox Video logo on the UK VHS release of FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue and the PAL DVD release of Bartok the Magnificent (at the start of the film, the 2nd international TCFHE logo is seen before the menu).
      • While this began to be phased out starting in late 2004 on DVD releases in favor of the 2002 variant, this version continued to be used regularly until mid-2006, especially on full-screen releases, as they did not have a version of the enhanced version until later (one such example being Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith). The last titles to have this logo were the 2008 DVD release of Babes in Toyland (1934), the 2009 DVD releases of Family Guy Volume 7, American Dad! Volume 4, Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder, and season 12 of The Simpsons, which were the last Fox and MGM releases to feature the logo, respectively.
      • The version without the fade-out can be found on the 1995 VHS and LaserDisc releases of the Star Wars Trilogy (along with serving as this logo's overall debut).
        • This variant can also be seen on some home video releases by the company.
        • Although the variant was rarely used after its debut year, it makes an appearance on the 1999 VHS reprint of The Towering Inferno (the DVD release used the fade-out).
        • It is unknown which DVD releases use this version, as most used the standard version with the fade-out instead.
      • The version where the logo fades in from black can be seen on such VHS releases, including Dr. Dolittle (1998), Rusty: The Great Rescue (aka Rusty: A Dog's Tale), Casper Meets Wendy, Office Space, Lake Placid, the 2000 releases of Alien 3 and Predator 2, Freddy Got Fingered, Joy Ride, Waking Life, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and X2: X-Men United, while this version without the fade out appeared on the original VHS release of Nine Months.
      • It also appears at the end of late-2000's/early-2010's airings of Casper Meets Wendy on Disney Channel and ABC Family (now Freeform), as well as most international TV broadcasts of the film.
      • It is also seen at the end of the last few HIT Entertainment DVD releases that they released.
      • It also makes appearances at the start of Starz's print of A Troll in Central Park, and the 2011 DVD release of Robots (itself a reprint of the 2005 DVD release), as the Blu-ray release has the correct 2011 logo.
      • It is also seen on Icebreaker for PC instead of the 1996 Fox Interactive logo.
      • This can also be seen at the start of FXM's print of Tales of Manhattan (with the 1995 Fox Video logo following) and HDNet Movies' print of Bartok the Magnificent.
      • It also makes an appearance at the start of Thumbelina on the Region 2/4 DVD releases (and later early 2010s reprint of the latter), possibly due to plastering the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo (Warner Bros. Family Entertainment originally distributed Thumbelina from 1994 until 2002).
      • It can also be seen on the Danish VHS release of FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue before the CBS/Fox Video logo.
      • Disney occasionally preserves this logo on reissues of most Fox Kids Video products, such as Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Titanium Ranger: Curse of the Cobra.
      • This logo also makes a surprise appearance on the 1997 Japanese LaserDisc box set of the Star Wars trilogy.
      • The full-screen variant of the enhanced version also makes an appearance on the UK DVD release of FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, plastering the CBS/Fox Video logo.
    • Enhanced version (2002-2009):
      • This variant was first seen on mid-to-late D-Theater D-VHS releases of TCF films.
      • The only known VHS release to feature this logo is the 2004 VHS release of Garden State, as all the others (such as The Day After Tomorrow, Garfield: The Movie, Napoleon Dynamite, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Alien vs. Predator, Sideways, Kinsey, Fat Albert, Robots, Fever Pitch, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), Fantastic Four (2005), and Transporter 2) use the previous logo instead.
      • This logo can also be found on some of the earliest Blu-ray releases from the company with the variant, while Speed uses the normal version; though other releases from that time may use the TCFHE Blu-ray logo instead.
      • It also makes an appearance at the end of later HIT Entertainment DVD releases released by Fox, such as the Pingu DVD release "On Thin Ice".
      • The last release to have this logo was It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Complete Fourth Season.

2nd Logo (October 18, 1995-December 3, 2003, September 2006 in Japan, June 2007 in Argentina, March 2008 in Malaysia)

Visuals: The 1994 20th Century Fox logo animates as normal until, about 13 seconds in, it zooms out, revealing the logo inside an inner box, itself contained inside an outer box on a blue-violet background with three blurry searchlights, and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, stopping at the bottom of the inside of the outer box underneath the inner box containing the Fox logo (without the News Corporation byline).

Variants:

  • There is also a still version.
  • On many VHS, LaserDisc and DVD releases, the logo is silent and shortened to when the 20th Century Fox logo is revealed inside the box.
  • On some Japanese DVD releases such as Fight Club, X-Men, Planet of the Apes (2001), Ice Age, and 28 Days Later, the logo is stretched to 16:9.
  • On Chilean VHS releases, the logo is shortened before the box is formed.
  • On International Fox Kids promos, the box with the logo is placed on a blue fuzzy background.

Technique: CGI. The 20th Century Fox logo is directed by Steve Soffer of Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation) animated using Wavefront computer graphics software in collaboration with Topix.

Audio: The 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement composed by Bruce Broughton (VHS and LD only); silence on DVD releases and Chilean VHS releases.

Audio Variants: Most of the time on PAL releases, the NTSC 1994 fanfare would be used; however, there were some cases (especially in its early years of use) where the PAL pitched version would be heard instead, examples includes the UK VHS release of The Lipstick Camera, a few X-Files releases and the original UK THX-certified VHS release (as well as a 2001 Thai VCD print) of Braveheart.

Availability:

  • This logo only appears outside of North America, except for a few Canadian releases until 2003 such as the 2000 VHS release of Thunder and Lightning.
  • The DVD version can be seen on early UK DVD releases including the original Miracle on 34th Street, and also appears on early Italian DVD releases of such films as There's Something About Mary and Young Frankenstein.
  • It also appears on the 1995 Hong Kong LaserDisc release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983).
    • It also appeared on the 2012 release of The Simpsons season 1 Region 4 DVD set (due to being a reprint of the 2001 release).
  • VHS releases in Argentina (distributed by Gativideo) continued to use this logo until 2007, while the next logo would appear on DVD releases.
  • Some VCD releases in Malaysia (distributed by HVN Entertainment) continued to use this logo despite that many releases used the next logo. Eventually in 2008, the logo was retired and VCD releases would continue to use the next logo until 2011.
  • It also appears on early Pathé retail releases such as Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, The Fifth Element, Crying Freeman, Pi and Love And Death On Long Island.
  • The DVD variant also appears on the 2001 Australian DVD releases of Titan A.E. and Romancing the Stone, while the next logo is on their VHS counterparts (possibly due to this logo to being used in tandem with the next logo on DVD releases from the time in that country).
    • It also shows up on the 2010s DVD reprint of Mrs. Doubtfire, most likely due to being a reprint of the original 2001 DVD release.
  • The DVD variant also makes an appearance on the 2005 Australian DVD release of Woman On Top possibly due to using the master from the 2001 Rental DVD.
  • It also appears on the 2011 UK DVD release of Ever After: A Cinderella Story, which was possibly due to using the master from the 2000 DVD release.
  • It also shows up on the 2014 Australian DVD reprint of Alien and on a 2018 Australian DVD reprint of Aliens, due to both masters being from original 2000 Region 4 DVDs, the former from the 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, and the latter from the 1-Disc Special Edition DVD.
  • It also shows up on the 2009 Australian DVD release of Fight Club, which was possibly due to using the master from the original 2000 print.

3rd Logo (August 4, 1999-April 27, 2011)

Visuals: The first blue streak swipes in from the top, immediately followed by the first line, as the second blue streak swipes in, the standard 1994-2010 20th Century Fox logo plays (albeit in a faster rate), with several more blue and orange streaks swiping in, along with a few more lines. When the logo is done, some blue and purple gradient bars on the top and bottom wipe in and the logo's sky background dissolves into a different cloud background, as "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" (in the same fonts as before) appears via a folding effect below the logo, the streaks disappear and the lines circle around the logo, after a few seconds, "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" fades out via blur effect, leaving just the logo, once the last lines disappear, the logo fades out.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the below text is replaced with a bumper that folds in. This version was used on 1999-2005 Australian TCF tapes, the first British TCF tapes with this logo, and 2000-2006 TCF tapes in some countries (except in the UK and Japan, the logo is already formed).
  • An enhanced version was used from 2006 to 2007. Here, the regular 20th Century Fox logo is at normal speed. When the 1994 logo is formed, the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" zoom out below the logo (without the News Corporation byline), and the streaks all disappear at the end.

Technique: CGI, with 2D computer animation for the streaks and live action for the clouds at the end. The 20th Century Fox logo is directed by Steve Soffer of Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation) animated using Wavefront computer graphics software in collaboration with Topix.

Audio: VHS tapes and early DVD releases had the standard tone 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement, while middle-to-later DVD releases had the high tone 1997 fanfare arrangement. On Chilean VHS releases, the logo is silent.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the logo is silent, or the 1997 fanfare in standard tone is used.

Availability: Like with the previous logo, this was only used internationally, except on a few Canadian releases, but is much more common than before as a whole.

  • Appears on the UK and Australian home media releases of numerous Fox films, as well as various The Simpsons VHS and DVD releases.
  • It also appears on the 2000 UK VHS release of Princess Sissi: Sissi In Possenhofen.
  • Also appears on the Japanese LaserDisc of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and the Japanese VHS releases of Robots and Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (all with the 1994 fanfare).

  • Also seen on the rare Italian VHS releases of I, Robot, Alien vs. Predator, Robots, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), Fantastic Four (2005) and Ice Age: The Meltdown.
  • It appeared on many South Korean VHS tapes until 2010.
  • The standard tone 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement music variant can be seen on most Fox DVD releases in Latin America/Brazil until the late 2000s (when they started to use the 1997 fanfare in NTSC tone), some international UMD for PSP releases such as Cheaper by The Dozen (2003), as well as a few PAL DVD releases in the UK, such as Family Guy: Season Two, and can be also seen on a French 24 DVD sampler, and (in a letterboxed variant) on a trailer for 24 DVD releases at the start of a French PAL DVD of The Sentinel (although the 1997 PAL version makes an appearance after the trailer reel/before the menu).
    • It can also be heard on the Japanese and Hong Kong DVD releases of Robots as well.
    • This was also heard on certain respective German DVD pressings of 24, Prison Break, Family Guy, American Dad!, Futurama, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, Arrested Development, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia during the mid-to-late-2000s.
  • The logo also makes an appearance on U.S. DVD releases of season 1 of Modern Family (released in 2010), Glee season 5 (released 2014) and season 5 of Bones (released 2010, disc 5 only).
  • It also appears on their Australian VHS releases of Flipper & Lopaka.
  • The full frame variant with the standard tone 1994 Fox fanfare also makes an appearance on Australian DVD releases of The Mary Tyler Moore Show distributed by Madman Entertainment.

  • This logo makes an appearance on the UK DVD release of Marmaduke, released on February 14, 2011, as well as the Spanish DVD of Red Eagle: The Movie (Águila Roja: La película) released on September 7, 2011.

    • Some releases that used it included the 2006 European Blu-ray release of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (the standard logo is on the DVD and Italian-only VHS counterparts), the 2006 UK Blu-ray release of Fantastic Four (2005), and the 2007 Australian Blu-ray release of Rising Sun.
    • Another appearance is on the 2010 theatrically-released Brazilian documentary film Todo Poderoso: O Filme. Since it had a limited release in São Paulo (the city of the Soccer club Corinthians) and released on DVD in the rest of the country afterwards, it is unknown if it actually appeared in the limited theatrical release. The print logo does appear on the poster.

4th Logo (November 14, 2006-November 9, 2010, February 2007-April 27, 2011 in UK and Australia)

Visuals: There is the 1994 20th Century Fox logo zooming in slowly, with the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" shining at the bottom. The background is also slightly different, while the right searchlight is a little bigger.

Variants:

  • On Blu-ray releases, a blue streak changes the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" text to the Blu-ray Disc wordmark, briefly leaving behind a "swoosh" shape as it does this, and the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" text also does not shine.
  • A fullscreen variant of the DVD version exists.
  • On Blu-ray releases of X-Men, Fantastic Four (2005), and Ice Age, the logo is slightly sped up, resulting in artifacts in the audio.

Technique: CGI. The 20th Century Fox structure is a still 3D graphic (aside from the right searchlight, which is CGI as well), originally animated at Flip Your Lid Animation using Wavefront computer graphics software in collaboration with Topix.

Audio: A calm, majestic fanfare, with a quiet whoosh sound effect used when the text shines.

Audio Variant: On the Blu-ray variant, a slight laser sound is heard for the blue flash.

Availability: Seen on releases from the company during this time period.

  • Blu-ray variant (2006-2010)
    • This version can be found on every TCFHE release on Blu-ray releases until November 2010, and can also be found on the Latin American/European/Australian/Asian releases as well.
      • It can also be seen on MGM Home Entertainment releases on Blu-ray releases, including Quantum of Solace, Valkyrie, Hot Tub Time Machine, and Igor, among others.
    • It is also seen on the 2011 U.S. Blu-ray releases of Robots, Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties, all due to being originally released to foreign markets in 2010. The earliest known Blu-ray releases of all three films was in Hong Kong on March 18, 2010.

  • This logo was also used in tandem with the previous logo until October 20, 2009 and the next logo during its first two months.

5th Logo (September 7, 2010-September 1, 2020)

Visuals: Same as the final 20th Century Fox logo, except in the end, the camera pans back farther than usual to reveal the stacked words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" on the right of the Fox structure with "HOME" set in Neutraface No. 2, an extra searchlight can be seen on the left of the structure (ala the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo), and more palm trees were added. Once the logo is fully revealed, the News Corporation byline fades in at the bottom of the screen (on pre-2013 releases). The registered trademark sign fades in as well.

Trivia: This logo is a tribute to the logo for That's Hollywood!, a 20th Century Fox Television series aired from 1976-1982.

Variants:

  • On the 2011 Blu-ray release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the logo is shortened, fading in as the camera passes the middle searchlight. This would later become the de-facto variant on all Blu-ray and DVD releases starting with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and the original release of The Croods, respectively.
  • A 4:3 variant exists, but is used only for full-screen DVDs and Blu-rays. It is also cropped to 2.35:1 as a widescreen letterbox logo. There is a widescreen version of the open matte logo expanded to 16:9 with the Hor+ screen scaling method.
  • Starting with the original DVD and Blu-ray release of Home Alone: The Holiday Heist on October 29, 2013, just like the movie logo, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless, due to the aforementioned split on June 28, 2013.
  • Starting in 2016, the logo was enhanced for Ultra HD Blu-ray releases. This variant includes the same enhancements as said year's variant of the 2009 20th Century Fox logo and brighter colors.
  • Sometimes, the registered trademark sign is absent on the aforementioned variant.
  • The 2011 Star Wars Blu-ray releases have the logo just shy of 16:9, in 1.77:1.

Technique: CGI by Fox's now-defunct animated sibling company Blue Sky Studios, animated with Autodesk Maya. Dave Strick was the lead modeler for the logo and modified it for this division.

Audio: The 1997 Fox fanfare arrangement composed by David Newman. The short version only uses the first half.

Audio Variants:

  • DVD releases of The Simpsons seasons 16 and 17 use the audio of Ralph Wiggum (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) singing along to the second half of the fanfare from The Simpsons Movie, while season 18 uses the standard 1997 fanfare, with Fat Tony (voiced by Joe Mantegna) saying "Fuggedaboutit..." on the last note.

DVDs and Blu-Rays of Fox material contained different trailers. This continued until Ferdinand on March 13, 2018, which was the last regular Fox release to do so.
