20th Century Fox

1935–1968

TCF 1935
Designer:  Emil Kosa Jr.
Typography:  Unknown
Launched:  Unknown

The company was founded as Twentieth Century-Fox on May 31, 1935, as a result of a merger between the film companies 20th Century Pictures and Fox Film Corporation. The structure was introduced without any searchlights (despite the fact that the on-screen logo used them) in their first print logo.

1945–1972

20CF 1945-72

The structure was discontinued in 1945 in favor of a simplified text.

1972–1982

20th Century Fox 1972

The structure was reintroduced with an arch located above the structure.

1982–1994

20th Century Fox 1982
Designer:  Landor Associates
Typography:  Unknown
Launched:  Unknown

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.

1987–2020

20th Century Fox
Designer:  Flip Your Lip Animation (1994-2010, 2013-2014)
Blue Sky Studios (2009-2020)
Typography:  Franklin Gothic Heavy (customized)
Launched:  Unknown

The design of this logo is similar to before, with some differences, those being that the border has the rounded corners removed, the letters’ design was changed, extra pieces being added into the searchlights and the lines were added to distinguish the letters on the top row. The logo was last used on home media release of Underwater (2020).

20th Century Studios

2020–present

20th Century Studios (2020)
Designer:  Picturemill
Typography:  Proxima Nova (modified)
Launched:  Unknown

On January 17, 2020, it was announced 20th Century Fox would be renamed to 20th Century Studios, following Disney's purchase of the company's assets the year prior and likely to avoid confusion with the now-separate FOX Corporation. The logo remained the same, but with the word "Fox" being changed to "Studios" and the "Century" was a bit taller to accommodate for it.
