Background
Fox Benedict Pictures traces its origins back to 1910 when Winston Imperial started Imperial Film Company. In 1923, Fox Productions was spun off from Fox Film Corporation, and merged with Imperial on February 25, 1925 to form "Fox-Imperial Productions, Inc." (The "Inc." was dropped on January 1, 1935) From 1925 to 1927, it had a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, which was carried from Imperial Film Company's contract when it was signed in 1923. From 1928 to 1984, Walt Disney Productions (later The Walt Disney Company) began its 56-year distribution deal with Fox-Imperial. In 1984, 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) bought Fox-Imperial and renamed it to Fox Imperial Pictures on January 1, 1985. Later on, Fox Imperial was acquired by Fox Searchlight Pictures in 1994, a day after the studio was formed. Later on the same year, the company established Fox Imperial, Inc. (now Fox Imperial Holdings) as the company's first mass-media division. In 2016, TriStar Imperial Pictures (now TriStar Benedict Pictures) bought most of the Fox Imperial Companies. On January 17, 2020, James Benedict announced that Fox Imperial Pictures will be renamed to Fox Benedict Pictures as a result of major corporate restructuring. In 2021, TriStar Benedict Pictures (excluding its divisions) was acquired by Kirby Studios and later dissolved on October 8th the same year.

Nicknames: "The Early Searchlights", "The Early Tower", "Pre-20th Century Pictures Tower" (February 28, 1925-October 6, 1933), "The FIP Tower", "1920s Tower",

Logo: We see the 20th Century Pictures Tower, but "20th CENTURY PICTURES, INC." is replaced with "FOX IMPERIAL PRODUCTIONS, INC." and is a bit taller than usual. "FOX" is in a different font than the rest of the text. "INC." remains in its usual place.

Variants:


 * From February 28, 1925 to October 6, 1933, the structure is differently drawn from before.
 * Starting with its regional release of The Bowery, the structure is changed to the 20th Century Pictures structure base.
 * Sometimes, the logo is in color, sepia, or even colorized.

Closing Title: On a burlap background, the text "The End" (in the same script as the one used in the B/W Disney Cartoon reissue titles) appears at the center. Below is "A FOX-IMPERIAL PRODUCTION" on a serif or sans-serif font. Sometimes, it uses a black background, or is superimposed over the ending scene of the film.

FX/SFX: The searchlights in the background.

Music/Sounds: A 12-note theme was used from February 28, 1925 to October 6, 1933. From October 7, 1933 to December 31, 1934, the 20th Century Pictures fanfare is used. Sometimes, the opening theme is used.

Availability: Rare. This logo was first shown on February 28, 1925 during its launch day. It was known to appear on The King of Weston (1927) and most of its films at the time. This logo also plasters the 20th Century Pictures logo on its regional releases of its films.

Editor's Note: This was known to be the predecessor of the 20th Century Pictures logo as it uses the design of its logo during the 1920s.

2nd Logo (January 1, 1935-December 31, 1984)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights", "The Tower", "The FIP Tower II", "1930s Tower", "1940s Tower"

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: From January 1, 1935 to November 7, 1935, the 20th Century Pictures fanfare is used. Starting on November 8, 1935, the 1935 20th Century Fox fanfare is used on this logo. Sometimes, the opening theme is used.

Availability: Common. Appears on its regional releases of 20th Century Fox films at the time, which plasters the 1935 20th Century Fox logo. It also appeared on the regional print of Folies-Bergère, which also plastered the 20th Century Pictures logo. This is known to make an appearance on most of its films, such as The King of Weston (1953), The Trees of Eastman, and Grand Central. However, when MGM had rights to The King of Weston (1953), this logo was no more, as it was plastered by the 1957 MGM logo.

Editor's Note: Although 20th Century Fox had retired the 1935 logo on May 23, 1968, this logo continued to be in use until Fox-Imperial's rebrand in 1984.

 * The logo (once again) is shown on color, sepia, black and white, or open matte.
 * For CinemaScope films, the card is the exact same, but with the text on top changed to "FOX-IMPERIAL PRODUCTIONS" transitioning from the 1953 logo.
 * For VistaVision films, the 1955 version is used, in the card, "VISTAVISION" in the same font used in the Paramount variant replaces the CinemaScope text.
 * Starting on January 1, 1976, the registered trademark symbol is placed on the logo.
 * The 1976 version may also use the CinemaScope/VistaVision card.

Closing Title: Same as before. There might be CinemaScope and VistaVision disclaimers shown below the text.

Editor's Note: This is the only logo (although using the 1981 20th Century Fox Structure) to never use the 1979 fanfare arrangement.

1st Logo (January 1, 1985-December 31, 1993, March 4, 1994, June 7, 2003-May 2, 2005, March 9, 2013 [The Identity Card])

Logo: There are two versions of this logo:


 *  Short Version : We start panning from the non-moving searchlight. We start seeing the tower from the previous logo, now redone in CGI, and with "PICTURES" instead of "PRODUCTIONS" as the camera settles at the same position from the previous logo. Then the registered trademark symbol fades in a second later.


 *  Long Version : The most common version. We start with two searchlights swooping across the screen, revealing the same structure from before, albeit in aerial view. The camera moves down and across the logo, revealing the city and sky. A yellow sunflash appears above the arch, syncing in with the last note of the first half of the fanfare. The camera then settles to the same position in the previous variant, and the registered trademark symbol fades in.

Trivia: This logo was done by Jakarta Technologies, who also did the 1983 Educational Pictures Logo. They recreated the entire 1981 20th Century Fox structure and made it animated. This is seen on The Jakarta Technologies Demo Reel of 1985.

Variants: A huge handful. This may get difficult, so we will explain each variant one-by-one.


 * January 1, 1985-December 31, 1985: The logo is brighter than usual. This was only used for the logo's first year of use.
 * January 1, 1986-December 31, 1993, March 4, 1994, June 7, 2003-May 2, 2005: The logo is in its usual colors. The most common color variant of the logo.
 * January 1, 1990-December 31, 1993: The hues of the logo have been altered. the structure is more pink and the sky and searchlights are more green.
 * There is a filmed version and a videotaped version of the logo.
 * This logo was used as an alternative closing logo from June 7, 2003-May 2, 2005, which had the finished product of the short version.
 * A version exists where the text reads "20th CENTURY FOX" as this was going to replace the 1981 20th Century Fox logo, but was eventually scrapped a month later.
 * There is a version without the sunflash.
 * Sometimes, the logo is in open matte.
 * A shortened variant of the long version exists, starting with the sunflash appearing.

Music/Sounds Variants: Various.


 * For the closing version, the logo is silent.
 * The 1990-1993 variant had a rearranged fanfare.

 * Various prints of Rising Dough (1983) has this logo with the 2005 Lionsgate and 1982 20th Century Fox fanfares playing at the same time due to a plaster error.

 * Sometimes the closing theme to the film may play over the closing version of the logo.

Availability: Ultra common. It first debuted on The Fox Imperial New Year Celebration. The standard version debuted on A Nick of Time and its final appearance was on the regional release of The Chase. This logo also plasters the 1981 20th Century Fox logo on regional releases of its films. The last movie to use this logo altogether was Lightstorm II, despite using the next logo below. This logo did make a suprise comeback on the home media release of The Identity Card, in which the home media release date of this film was March 9, 2013.

Editor's Note: This logo became the most famous logo for its CGI animation, which even predated the animation of the 1994 20th Century Fox logo and the 1995 Fox Video logo.

It also appears on recent prints on The Classic Fox Imperial Catalog which had films from 1925 to 1984, which includes The Postman, Rising Dough (1983), and Platform. Do not expect this to appear on Twelvemile, The Forest Moon Journey, Them, and Wasted, because these films use the next logo.

Editor's Note: A marvelous successor to the previous logo, as this logo was also done by Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation) which used the 1994 20th Century Fox logo. As of now, this logo is starting to earn some infamy due to plastering other logos, and of course the next logo below.

FX/SFX: Same as the television counterpart.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variants: On a Paramount Television airing of Them, the short 1998 20th Century Fox fanfare used for its Home Entertainment division was used on the logo due to a plaster error.

The last film to use this logo altogether was Wasted, released on April 16, 1997. This logo is plastered by the previous logo, the 20th Century Studios and 20th Century Fox logos, or is completely removed and replaced with a black screen.

Editor's Note: A predecessor to, and placeholder of the next logo. It was also forgotten because this logo is plastered by the 1994 or 2009 logos, except for when this logo is using a variant. This was done by Blue Sky Studios which went defunct in 2021.

5th Logo (January 1, 2009-December 31, 2014, May 21, 2016)

"1985"and "2020" are between the text and fades in with "YEARS" as well.
 * The logo may be still sometimes.

 * On Space 7, the 2021 variant is still and has the trademark symbol instead of the registered trademark symbol. The logo is also bylineless.

 * On Space 7, the logo is silent.

Availability: Brand new and current. First appeared on Crossroads of Xabachta. It also appears on its films and regional releases of 20th Century Studios films. This logo is also used as a de-facto home video logo (Mainly the variant with the Kirby Studios byline as of November 27, 2021) for releases under the Searchlight Home Media label.

Editor's Note: A big improvement to the previous logo, although this might take a long time to get used to the name change, but still, a great logo.

Nicknames: "The Searchlights XII", "The Tower XII", "The FBP Tower II", "2020s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights IX", "The CGI Tower IX", "The CGI FBP Tower II", "The Kirby Tower II", "The Rumored Structure"

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but everything has changed. The structure is exactly the same, albeit with different textures and coloring. The sun is seen during the first half of the logo, motion blur is also be present for more realistic movement, the lighting is redone to match its other parent company (20th Century Studios), the searchlights are redone once again, including its animation, the sky is updated to the one used from the original 20th Century Studios logo from The Call of the Wild (2020), the camera panning is redone, and the registered trademark symbol, byline, and sunflash are permanently removed. These changes are as a result of its former parent company being dissolved, and to represent its current ownership with Kirby Studios.

Trivia: This logo was redone by Jakarta Technologies, who also did the previous logos (2020, 2017, 2015, 1985). They used the structure and added more realistic effects to blend in with 20th Century Studios.

Variants: On the trailer for Doubleday II, the logo is in a different color and uses a different sky background.

Closing Title: TBA.

FX/SFX: Same as before, but enhanced.

Editor's Note: This logo was rumored to debut on the regional release of Free Guy, although latter mentioned had the previous logo with the 2021 variant.
