Fox Star Studios[]
February 10, 2010-April 1, 2022[]
Nicknames: "CGI Searchlights", "Ultra-Majestic Tower", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights", "The Searchlights", "Majestic Tower", "Decade Tower", "2010s Tower", "Futuristic Structure", "Fox Star Structure", "Majestic Fox Star Structure", "Indian 20th Century Fox"
Logo: Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo, but the text on the standard structure is instead replaced by "FOX STAR STUDIOS", with STAR TV's 1998 star symbol next to "STAR" and fitting snugly below the "X" while piercing the lines above it.
Bylines:
- February 10, 2010-September 27, 2013: "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY"
- November 28, 2013-April 1, 2022: Bylineless
Variants:
- Sometimes, the logo is still. Here, it looks more like the 1994 Fox logo, but with a darker sky, an orange tint, and a much uglier version of the logo, with bolder text and overly bright lighting.
- A prototype of the logo exists. Like the prototype TCF logo, it is blurry at the beginning and white wireframes appear when the logo is in its position.
- Open-matte versions of the logo exist.
- Sometimes, the registered trademark sign is removed from the logo.
- Starting with the release of Bullett Raja on November 28, 2013 in the US and a day later in India, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time ever, due to the aforementioned split on June 28, 2013.
- On Dum Maaro Dum (2011), the logo is oversaturated.
- On Vathikuchi (2013), the logo has a light-bluish tint.
- On the trailers of Cuckoo (2014), the logo has a bluer sky background.
FX/SFX: Same as the final 20th Century Fox logo. Just like the other 2009 Fox logos, Blue Sky Studios was responsible for the logo's animation.
Music/Sounds: The 1997 Fox fanfare. None for the still version.
Availability: Common. The logo can be found on any movie distributed by Fox Star Studios in India.
- It was first shown before My Name is Khan, even before the 20th Century Fox logo (non-US version) or the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo (US version) itself. The still version can be found on the trailers for said film.
- The last film to use this logo with the News Corporation byline was Raja Rani, released on September 27, 2013.
- This logo surprisingly replaces the final 20th Century Fox logo on Indian releases of Epic, with the logo for Blue Sky Studios intact.
- Despite it replacing the Fox Searchlight logo in Indian releases, don't expect this to appear on international prints of Slumdog Millionaire as varying distributors' logos appear on different prints of the film.
- On US releases of Dum Maaro Dum, the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo appears instead.
- The last film to use this logo was Kaun Pravin Tambe?, released on April 1, 2022 on Disney+ Hotstar.
Editor's Note: Another great rendition of the 2009 20th Century Fox logo, except made for Indian films. The 1994 logo style tends to be very cheesy however, due to not only that the design and colors don't match well with the 1994 TCF logo, but it didn't even look on par with any other TCF logo in existence (except with the placement of the searchlights).
Star Studios[]
September 9, 2022-present[]
Nicknames: "CGI Searchlights II", "Ultra-Majestic Tower II", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights II", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights II", "The Searchlights II", "Majestic Tower II", "Decade Tower II", "2020s Tower", "Futuristic Structure II", "Star Structure", "Majestic Star Structure", "Indian 20th Century Studios", "Fox Star Studios", "Indian Tower"
Logo: It's nearly the same as the previous logo, except "FOX" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the 2020 STAR logo, with Star India's 2011 logo instead of the letter "A" (in the same manner as its Disney+ Star content hub and Star+ logo) can be seen instead of "STAR" and its symbol to the right of the text like the previous logo. The word "STUDIOS" is also in a different font and larger to accommodate the size of the structure, and with the registered symbol also removed as well. The logo has also been redone, with more realistic lighting and textures, a slightly enhanced sky backdrop, different palm trees, sleeker and shinier-looking searchlights, a larger and more detailed Los Angeles cityscape without the Hollywood sign, with slightly different camera movements and overall design, but still keeping the same animation.
FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo. Unlike the 20th Century Studios logo, this was based on Picturemill's work, in turn based on Blue Sky's design.
Music/Sounds: A new rendition of the 20th Century Studios fanfare, albeit with Indian instruments such as sitar, sarod, tambura, shan, shrangi, and tabla being heard in the composition, which sounds similar to the 1979 and 1982 fanfares.
Availability: Brand new.
- Debuted as a print logo on posters and on-screen as a variant.
- The full logo then debuted theatrically in Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, released on September 9, 2022 in theatres and later on Babli Bouncer on Disney+ Hotstar.
- It is expected to appear on future films from the company.
Editor's Note: Like the 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures logos, the name change can be annoying and divisive to some. Regardless, this is still an excellent logo, and the Indian-style version of the 20th Century Studios fanfare makes for a nice touch.
