Fox Reality Original

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Fox Reality Channel was a channel owned by Fox Entertainment Group that aired reality TV shows. It was launched on May 24, 2005 and was replaced by Nat Geo Wild on March 29, 2010 (on most providers), April 19, 2010 (on Dish Network), and June 30, 2010 (on DirecTV).

Logo (May 29, 2006-March 20, 2010)

Visuals: On a vignetted white background, a pair of red lips are seen, letting out a loud, menacing laugh. The camera zooms out as a large, crudely-done turquoise circle is seen, with the Fox logo in red on top of the giant text "REALITY", with "ORIGINAL" under "ITY". The mouth morphs into the "O" of "ORIGINAL", and the word zooms in as the logo is finished.

Trivia: The lip is featured in one of the channel's idents, kissing the screen and leaving the Fox Reality logo behind.

Variants:

  • At the end of Fox Reality shows, the logo begins as it has fully zoomed out.
  • On Solitary, the logo ends with a shut-off effect. The closing variant on the show also begins with said distortion effect.

Technique: A mix of live-action and computer animation by Bob Swensen of Shine Studios.

Audio: A loud laugh (almost sounding similar to Goofy's holler or the typical scream of a Mariachi), followed by a whoosh and a set of five claps, Fox Reality's signature sound at the time.

Audio Variant: The short version cuts out the laugh.
