20th Century Studios/On-screen Logos

For variations of this logos see 20th Century Fox/Other.

1935–1953
When 20th Century Fox was founded in 1935, it used the same opening sequence as 20th Century Pictures, the only difference is that the word "Pictures" is replaced with the word "Fox" (as reference of the other merged partner company Fox Films). This design was made by the watercolorist Emil Kosa Jr.

1953–1968
In 1953, Rocky Longo repainted the logo when Fox began releasing movies in the widescreen Cinemascope format, starting with How to Marry a Millionaire. The artist tilted the "0" in "20th" so the monolith would look proportional in the format’s wider aspect ratio.

1955–1967
This alternative variation was used in the only two Fox films released in CinemaScope 55. It was later reused for a Grandeur 70 version of the logo in 1961 for the 70mm reissue of The King and I (1956). It was used on the episode of The Simpsons: Cue Detective.

1968–1987
In 1968, the colors became less saturated.

1981–1994
Rocky Longo revised the logo again in 1981, modifying the font of the "20th" wordmark. This became the basic design that the company will use in the following logos for over 3 decades.

1994–2005
The logo was reimagined in 1994 as a 21-second CG-animated curtain raiser, with a POV that sweeps from above the "20th" to a panorama of the L.A. Basin, including the Hollywood sign, and storefronts with the names of Fox executives in the signage. Also, the byline A News Corporation Company was added for the first time. This is the most famous logo used by the company.

2005–2010
The logo was slightly modified in 2005, making the colors more vivid and the textures more detailed.

2009–2013
In 2009, the logo was updated with a more advanced CG animation. It was created by Blue Sky Studios and it made its debut before James Cameron's Avatar film.

2013–present
After News Corporation splitted into 21st Century Fox and News Corp in 2013, the byline was permanently removed, leaving the logo simple just like the pre-1994 logos. This is the current logo used by the company.
