This logo marked the first appearance of the searchlights (that have been in usage long before) on a print logo. The hyphen was dropped from the company name, effectively becoming '''Twentieth Century Fox''' after Rupert Murdoch's [[News Corporation]] purchased the company in March 1985. In 1987, the logo below replaced this on movie posters and such, but this was used in tandem with it, as this was used on VHS cases from Fox Video until 1994.
