Logo: Nosotros run across a backdrop of a dark heaven covered with stars and clouds. Over this backdrop, nosotros see the following text fade in, not similar to any of their picture logos:

20 TH

CENTURY-

FOX

This visitor name, in bold letters, fades in as if it were streaking from the bottom left of the screen. The "20TH" seems to be more to the right of the other text, every bit displayed here.

Trivia: On Adventures in Paradise, this appeared equally an opening logo with a fanfare, followed by the Martin Manulis Productions logo.

FX/SFX: The fading in of the company name.

Music/Sounds: A 1950s-style majestic fanfare with chimes, or the closing theme of the show.

20th Century Fox Television

1st Logo (Nov 6, 1957-1966)

Nicknames: "The Searchlights II", "Zoom Out", "20th Goggle box Fox", "The Tower of Doom"

Logo: We see the usual 1935 motion-picture show logo animating. We start off with the logo close-upwardly. The camera then backs away every bit the word "TELEVISION", slanted at an bending, suddenly appears and rapidly zooms out, plastering itself on top of the "CENTURY" on the stack of words, filling the whole screen.

Variants:

• The logo also appears in sepia-tone.
• Sometimes, the camera would back away slowly.
• Sometimes, a sped-upwards variant of the logo exists.
• A sped-up variant of the logo exists. The moving picture logo of the fourth dimension opened the pilot to Dobie Gillis, "Antic at the Bijou", with the Martin Manulis Productions logo (the fanfare plays over the Martin Manulis logo).

FX/SFX: The searchlights, the text "Telly" zooming out.

Cheesy Factor:Just like TCP Inc., two searchlights in the groundwork actually curve. Also, the text "Goggle box" actualization and zooming out looks really inclement and amateurish. When the word "TELEVISION" zooms out, the searchlights start jumping dorsum to the same blitheness equally when the logo began.

Music/Sounds:

• November 6, 1957-July 25, 1964: A rearrangement of the Alfred Newman fanfare used on the movie variation.
• September 30, 1960-April 27, 1962: A curt melody of the 1936-1937 theme. Used on the commencement two seasons of The Flintstones (called "Rise and Smooth").
• October 11, 1960-August 7, 1962: A shortened variant of the 1942-1964 theme. Used on the first season of The Bugs Bunny Show.
• September fourteen, 1962-March 31, 1966: A sped-upwards version of the 1937-1942/1943 theme. Used on the last four seasons of The Flintstones (called "Meet the Flintstones").
• March 24, 1963-June 21, 1964: A shortened variant of the 1960 theme.
• September 25, 1964-July 17, 1966: A curt tune played on muted trumpets and strings that is a variation of the jingle, just does not sound exactly like a Fox jingle.
• September 17, 1965-August 12, 1966: A sped-up/shortened version of the 1964 theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On the Telly serial Hong Kong, at that place are three different arrangements of the 1960 theme.
• In some cases, it used only the closing theme of the bear witness, or none. Such is the example for The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Availability: Very rare. It can exist seen on season 1 reruns of Daniel Boone on Earth Harvest Television (also bachelor on the Liberation/Goldhill DVD release, and presumably the Play a joke on and Timeless Media Group reissue) and on reruns of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and 12 O'Clock High on Me-Tv. Fox has replaced this with a newer logo (most probable the 20th Television receiver 1) on almost prints and DVD releases of shows from this era, but can notwithstanding be seen on older prints. It was too seen on Adventures in Paradise, Follow the Sun and Bus Stop.

Editor'south Note: The finishing product of this logo (or rather, its pattern concept) would not only exist used for the next 2 logos but would also be the inspiration for 20th Goggle box's name (every bit the finishing product of this logo has "TELEVISION" plastered over "CENTURY", making the logo read "20th Idiot box Fox"). Also, the fanfares used on this logo, which often sound nothing like the standard TCF fanfare, could startle a few viewers at commencement.

2nd Logo (September 16, 1965-September 7, 1985)

Mid 1965

Mid-to-tardily 1965

Belatedly 1965

1984-1985

Nicknames: "The Searchlights III", "Zoom Out II", "20th Tv set Fox 2", "The Belfry of Doom Two", "Slanted Nix"

Logo: We have the 1953 logo. This time, the camera doesn't back away from the tower structure and the 0 is slanted. The word "TELEVISION" appears again and it slowly plasters itself on top of the word "CENTURY".

• In 1976, the Registered trademark "®" symbol was added to the 1965 logo. Plus, this version has the prototype shifted to the left a lilliputian more from the 1968 version, only "TELEVISION" remains centered and zooms out again slowly. Consequently, the "C" in "CENTURY" tin can still be seen.
• At that place is a however version with the text "DISTRIBUTED BY" on the top left corner of the logo.

• On the TV series The Starlost, it uses a shortened version of the 1953 movie logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the third logo.

Cheesy Factor: Same as the third logo. While the searchlight blitheness doesn't jump dorsum to the beginning (thought issue may present) the zoom out may exist choppy. But on The Starlost due to shakiness.

Music/Sounds:

• September 16, 1965-September 20, 1969: The same 1961 theme from the 3rd logo.
• September 10, 1966-September 7, 1985: The same 1965 theme from the tertiary logo.

• There is also a silent version.
• On some co-produced shows from the era, a generic theme was used.
• Post-1986 prints of the 1974 tv movie Hurricane feature the Metromedia Producers Corporation jingle over the logo instead of the standard jingle.
• On the DVD and Blu-ray impress of the S1 Batman episode "Hullo Diddle Riddle", it uses the 1989 theme from the next logo!! This is could be due to the HD master for this episode using a different source for the audio (in this example, the 1990s video masters). The Portuguese rails from this episode, however, uses the 1995 theme from the last logo instead.
• On some episodes of Grand*A*S*H, the fanfare sounds lighter.
• Hulu prints of M*A*S*H from the beginning 2 seasons has this logo with the 1989 TCFTV jingle.

• The 1976 version is available on the first 2 episodes of The Fall Guy on the flavour 1 DVD fix, while the next logo is intact on the remainder of the flavor.
• The Magnetic Video print of The Making of Star Wars from 1979 also has this logo (it was omitted from its 1981 reissue as a double characteristic with SPFX: The Empire Strikes Back, and replaced by the 20th Tv logo in the 1995 reissue and bonus disc three of the Star Wars saga Blu-ray set)
• It is also seen on the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978. Copies of the special have been circulating for decades.
• Also appears on the VHS release of Tomorrow'southward Child. Play a joke on has replaced this with the 20th Tv logo on a lot of shows, such every bit M*A*Due south*H. Withal, an airing of the flavour 6 episode "C*A*V*Eastward" on Pull a fast one on Classics in Commonwealth of australia kept this logo. The Greatest Game Ever Played, aired on Atlanta'southward WATC 57, June 27, 2009, preserves the 1976 version at the showtime. Information technology'south also seen on the Season 2 Blu-ray of Lost in Space.
• Showtime in 2017, this logo has been restored on Hulu prints of the first ii seasons of M*A*S*H, marking the get-go time since the 1980s that this logo has been restored to that series. Information technology was too spotted on Play a joke on Classics broadcasts of the episodes "The Toll of Lycopersicon esculentum Juice" and "C*A*Five*Due east" in Australia, equally well equally True Entertainment's impress of "Fade Out, Fade In (Part 2)" in the Great britain.

Editor's Note: The 1976 variant with the shifted text certainly doesn't expect very professional person. Other than that, it'south a decent logo for its time, though over again the fanfares may startle some.

When the logo is finished zooming out, the Registered trademark "®" symbol and the News Corporation byline fade in at the same fourth dimension.

Bylines:

• April 28, 1995-November x, 2013: "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY"

• Beginning with the 9th season of Basic on September 16, 2013, the logo is bylineless. This was due to the split of News Corporation which occurred back at the end of June (with Pull a fast one on and all of the former visitor'south entertainment divisions going to the and so-newly-formed 21st Century Fox). Suprisingly, The Simpsons, Bob'southward Burgers, Family Guy, and American Dad! all the same used the byline until November 10, 2013. The Simpsons and Family Guy started using the bylineless version on November 17, 2013, while Bob's Burgers and American Dad! started using information technology on November 24, 2013. Strangely, the fourth to sixth flavour of Arrested Development even so used used the byline upwardly to date.
• The short-lived Sci-Fi (now Syfy) Channel series The Chronicle: News from the Border had a very rare and interesting "International" variant. The offset i or two seconds shows a cloudy groundwork similar to what was used on the Goggle box logo of the time, with the words "DISTRIBUTED Past" appearing offset. Afterward that, information technology cuts to the 1995 logo placed in the eye of the screen, with the animation slowed down, only more or less complete with the News Corp. byline, and under that is the words "INTERNATIONAL Television receiver".
• On The Simpsons S9 episode "The Final Temptation of Krust", nearing the finish of a musical number, the 1995 logo with the '97 fanfare appears, but is pushed away past the residuum of the episode. This variant is preserved on syndie prints, as well every bit the DVD release of the season.
• On the pre-broadcast pilot of the brusk-lived serial A.U.s.a.A., the logo is slightly extended, starting off with a close-upwardly of the structure, then easing into the normal animation. The standard version was used when it hit circulate.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Flim-flam network commonly and traditionally uses their own fanfare over logos, due to generic credits; due to the fact that much Fox programming is produced past Trick, these fanfares become well with this logo.
• From 1997-2001, a simple Fox drum roll was used; the 2001-2002 season introduced the first batch of unlike "remixes" of the Fox fanfare (basically the remixes using samples from the John Williams version of the Play tricks fanfare), usually only using the final four notes; the 2003-2004 season introduced the 2nd batch of remixes which had more than and simple themes that were replacing the previous ones from 2001 (with the exception of a hip-hop remix of the 1980 John Williams Fox fanfare), just they still had a different-sounding Trick drum roll with the final four notes (in a dissimilar tone for every theme) on them.
