Fox Benedict Pictures

Background
Fox Benedict Pictures is an Occitanian film studio, a subsidiary of Kirby Studios. 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 and now Walt Disney Pictures) had a 56-year distribution deal with Fox-Imperial, the deal restarted in May 2020 and ultimately collapsed again in April 2022. 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. A year later, the Fox Imperial Animation division was founded, but it didn't have a proper on-screen production logo until May 2020 with The Ghost and Molly McGee, a co-production with Walt Disney Animation Studios, Globe Studios, and Gums Productions. 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, and its animation subsidiary became Fox Benedict Animation, got a proper logo, and still handles several independent animation studios. In 2021, TriStar Benedict Pictures through it's film division (excluding its divisions) was acquired by Kirby Studios and later dissolved on October 8th the same year. In 2022, FBP became a direct sister company to Sprixie Studios after Kirby Studios finished the acquisition of Toads Incorporated. The studio's headquarters are located in Rayon, South Occitania, which is formerly part of Ohio.

1st Logo (February 28, 1925-December 31, 1934)
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"

 * A "prototype" variant had the text slanted to the right.
 * This logo may be colorized.

Closing Title: Same as before. Starting in 1937, the "The End" script is changed to resemble the one used in Disney Cartoons that used the burlap titles the same year.

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.

2nd Logo (January 1, 1953-December 31, 1984)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights II", "The Tower II", "The FIP Tower III", "1950s Tower", "1960s Tower", "1970's Tower", "The Non-Slanted Zero"

Logo: Same as last time, however, the base of the structure is changed once again to the 1953 20th Century Fox Structure.

Variants:


 * This logo either appears with the 1953 base (described above, used for CinemaScope films), or the 1956 base (appeared earlier in 1955 and used until 1984, used for VistaVision films).
 * 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.

 * From April 30, 1954 to December 31, 1984, the extension of the original 20th Century Fox fanfare is used.
 * Sometimes, the opening theme is used.

Availability: Very Common. Appears on its films during its time, such as The Partition (1974).

Editor's Note: Strangely, this logo has the 1955 version extending its longevity to 1984.

3rd Logo (January 1, 1981-December 31, 1984)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights III", "The Tower III", "The FIP Tower IV", "1980s Tower"

Closing Title:


 * Same as before.
 * In Silent, the logo has no rear searchlights because of the ending of the film.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: The same fanfares from before. Sometimes, the opening theme is used.

Availability: Ultra rare. Known to appear on The Postman, Platform, Rising Dough (1983), and Youngstown.

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])
Nicknames: "The Searchlights IV", "The Tower IV", "The FIP Tower V", "1980s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights", "The CGI Tower", "The CGI FIP Tower", "CGI 1980s Tower"

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. This was only seen in the demo reel.
 * 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.
 * Although the logo ceased its use in 1993, it was used on the regional release of The Chase. The logo is a bit darker than usual.
 * In rare cases, the registered trademark symbol is absent.
 * A still version exists.
 * The logo may be sped up.
 * This logo is sometimes followed after the 1992 Educational/Van Beuren Entertainment logo.

Closing Title: Just the finished product of the logo.

FX/SFX: The camera panning around the structure and the searchlights moving. All done in CGI.

Music/Sounds: The Short Version has the 1979 20th Century Fox fanfare. The Long Version has the 1982 20th Century Fox fanfare. Both were conducted by Lionel Newman. Sometimes there may be silence, or the opening theme to the film.

Music/Sounds Variants: There are several audio variations with this logo:
 * For the closing version, the logo is silent or has the closing theme of the movie.
 * The 1990-1993 variant had a rearranged version of the fanfare.
 * On international prints of Airport, the theme from the next logo is used, due to a plaster error.
 * On one print of Awaken, the 1995 MGM roar is used on the long version instead of the fanfare, due to an audio master error.
 * The Chase variant has the fanfare from the aforementioned film.
 * Various prints of Rising Dough (1983) prior to 2022 has this logo with the 2005 Lionsgate and 1982 20th Century Fox fanfares playing at the same time due to a plaster error. This is corrected on current prints of the movie.
 * The Remastered Edition of Lightstorm uses this logo with the 1998 fanfare from the next logo.

Availability: Was ultra common years ago, but is now rare, due to being plastered with the second Fox Benedict Pictures logo.
 * 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 surprise 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, the 1993 and 1995 Fox Video logos, and even the next logo.

2nd Logo (January 1, 1994-December 31, 2007, January 1, 2008-December 31, 2010)

FX/SFX: Same as the 1994 20th Century Fox logo.

Music/Sounds: From January 1, 1994 to November 13, 1997, a re-orchestrated version of the 1962 20th Century Fox fanfare is heard. This fanfare was done by Kyoto Williamstown. From November 14, 1997 to March 26, 1998, the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare from Anastasia and some dubs of X2: X-Men United is used. From March 27, 1998 to April 17, 2002 and January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010, the 1998 arrangement of the 20th Century Fox fanfare was used. From April 18, 2002 to December 31, 2007, a remixed version of the 1998 fanfare (complete with a choir) is used. The last three fanfares were composed by David Newman.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The 2002 fanfare would be used on the 2003 Sprixie Studios film Word Jumbles.

Music/Sounds Variants: A handful of audio variants with this logo were known during its usage.
 * On the True Lies regional DVD, if you select the Japanese language track, the 1994 20th Century Fox fanfare will play instead of the usual fanfare. Also seen on the original regional VHS, DVD, and theatrical releases of The Pagemaster.
 * On some films, the opening theme of the movie will play over the logo, or the logo is silent.
 * On select airings of Space 2, it plays silently, but the 1995 MGM roar is heard at the end, most likely due to sloppy plastering. Sometimes, a different logo's fanfare will play, such as the 1997 Universal theme or the 2006 Disney theme.
 * The closing version is silent or has the ending theme of the movie.
 * On the original release of Frindle, the 2005 Paramount Pictures fanfare from The Longest Yard is heard.
 * On pre-2022 airings of Space, the 2008 20th Television fanfare is heard on the closing version of the logo. Currently, this is plastered by the 2021 Fox Benedict Television logo.

 * TV airings of Wingate Dreams (1996) has a reverb effect on the 1994 fanfare.
 * On the Special Edition DVD of Red Hour, the 1997 fanfare is heard.
 * Sometimes the previous logo's fanfare is heard, most likely due to sloppy plastering.
 * On regional releases of The Simpsons Movie, the second half of the fanfare is sung along by Ralph Wiggum. It is also higher pitched.
 * A higher-pitched version of the fanfare is used on British and Australian DVD and VHS releases and TV airings of the era.
 * On the original release of the company's debut animated film, I Am the Cheese (a Paramount Pictures collaboration), the Cars version of the theme from the Pixar-exclusive Walt Disney Pictures logo is used in place of the standard audio. This is fixed on current prints.
 * In Ωmega, camera flashes are heard during the fanfare.
 * On some physical media releases of films, the music is out of sync with the logo.

Availability: Was ultra common during its usage, but it's now rare, due to heavy plastering with the 2nd Fox Benedict Pictures logo.
 * This logo appears on the original releases of movies such as Wingate Dreams (1996), Frindle, Red Hour, Space, Space 2, Ωmega, Close to Home, A Thousand Islands, Trucks, Gander, The Second Wave, various regional releases of 20th Century Fox films at the time (plastering the 1981 and 1994 20th Century Fox logos), I Am the Cheese, and Down on the Farm. It is becoming much harder to find in recent years, due to plastering.
 * 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 the original and 2021 releases of Twelvemile, The Forest Moon Journey, Them, and Wasted, because these films use the next logo, it does however appear on the pre-2021 reissues of those movies.
 * While most movies have this plastered with the second Fox Benedict logo, some films like I am the Cheese and Down of the Farm (the former due to audio correction) keep this intact.

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. Until 2022, this logo earned some infamy due to plastering other logos, including the next logo below (until it came back in 2021), now getting better praise with fewer appearances than in the past.

3rd Logo (March 8, 1995-February 29, 1996, April 16, 1997)


Nicknames: "The Searchlights VI", "The Tower VI", "The FIP Tower VII", "1990s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights III", "The CGI Tower III", "The CGI FIP Tower III", "The Once Forgotten Tower"

Logo: Exactly the same as the television counterpart's logo, however there are a few differences:


 * "TELEVISION" is replaced with "PICTURES".

The byline fades in as usual, but now reads "A FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES COMPANY, A SUBSIDIARY OF 20TH CENTURY FOX" and fades in with the registered trademark symbol.

Closing Title: The full animation mentioned above, but with "DISTRIBUTED BY" on top.

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 the final logo of its Home Entertainment division was used on the logo due to a plaster error.

Availability: Was extinct for years. Only seen on Twelvemile, Them, The Forest Moon Journey, and ''Wasted. ''
 * This logo was initially plastered by the previous logo, the 20th Century Studios logo or 20th Century Fox logo, or is completely removed and replaced with a black screen, but when the films were restored by Searchlight Pictures in 2021, the logo finally began to resurface and fans of those movies were excited about it.

Editor's Note: This logo was known to be completely forgotten

Editor's Note: This logo was known to be completely forgotten because of how it is being plastered or being edited out. The next logo had the same issue (except if using a variant) minus being edited out. This was also lost until 2021.

4th Logo (January 1-December 31, 2008)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights VII", "The Tower VII", "The FIP Tower VIII", "2000s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights IV", "The CGI Tower IV", "The CGI FIP Tower IV", "Pre-2010s Tower"

The byline fades in as usual.

Variants: Seven of them.

 * A version with the trademark symbol exists.
 * On Space 3, the logo is bylineless.
 * On Shrub Garden, the logo is set in a garden during the day, the sunflash is deleted, the searchlights are replaced with flowers, and the structure is made out of rocks.
 * On the original release of The Computer, the wire frames are included and are already present.

Closing Title:
 * Same as the 2nd Logo.
 * On Shrub Garden and The Computer, the fully animated version is seen as a closing logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the 20th Century Fox logo from the demo reel.

Music/Sounds: The 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare, which was only heard in Anastasia and some dubs of X2: X-Men United.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On a print of The Southgate Shores Railway, the 1998 fanfare is used.
 * Sometimes, none or the opening/closing theme of the movie.
 * On Shrub Garden, the 2002 fanfare from the second logo is used.

Availability: Rare, now bordering on near extinction as of 2022.
 * Appeared on regional releases of 20th Century Fox films (an example being Horton Hears A Who!), which plastered the 1994 20th Century Fox logo.
 * It also appeared on the original releases of movies such as Space 3, 2048, The Partition (2008), and Verdegris, along with every print of Shrub Garden.
 * This logo is also plastered by the second logo, the next logo below, or the second Fox Benedict Pictures logo, with the exception of Shrub Garden (using a custom variant) which keeps this logo intact on all current prints.

Editor's Note: A predecessor to, and placeholder of the next logo. It was also forgotten because this logo is plastered by the 1994, 2009, and now 2022 logos, except for when this logo is using a variant. This was designed and animated by Blue Sky Studios (who also animated the 8th Sprixie Studios logo and their 2013-19 logo) which went defunct in 2021.

5th Logo (January 1, 2009-December 31, 2014, May 21, 2016)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights VIII", "The Tower VIII", "The FIP Tower IX", "2010s Tower", "The CGI Searchlights V", "The CGI Tower V", "The CGI FIP Tower V"

Logo: Same as before, but it now uses the final 20th Century Fox logo animated at Blue Sky Studios as the base.

Bylines:
 * January 1, 2009-December 31, 2010: "A FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES COMPANY"
 * May 24, 2010, January 1, 2011-December 31, 2014, May 21, 2016: Bylineless. This was done to balance the Unit 10 Crash of 2010, and for Fox Searchlight's new on-screen logo.

Variants: A few variants existed on the logo.


 * Like the last logo, the Searchlight Pictures byline will appear on current prints of films of this time.
 * An IMAX version also exists.
 * Open matte versions also exist.

 * During 2010, there was a 25th Anniversary version of the logo. When the logo finishes, the searchlights flash to white (a la Fox Searchlight Pictures) and a gray box appears with the Fox Imperial Pictures print logo carved on the left, and "25 YEARS" on the right. Below it is "STILL NOT THE SAME OLD STORY", all in the same font as the one used in the TCF structure.
 * There is a version without the sunflash, and as such only appears on a handful of 2013-14 movies like Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave.

Closing Title:
 * Just the finished product of the logo. "DISTRIBUTED BY" is now removed in this version.
 * On the regional releases of Epic and Rio 2, the print logo is shown.
 * On Minority ZR Lando and Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave, the entire animation is used without the fanfare. The Occitanian release of the former has the fanfare.

FX/SFX: Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 20th Century Fox fanfare first used in The Newton Boys. Sometimes the logo is silent, or has the opening theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variants: Only Five.


 * The closing version is silent, or has the closing theme of the film.
 * The video game versions are silent. Sometimes the animated version has the 20th Television fanfare, and the still version sometimes has the opening theme, like on the Nintendo 3DS version of the Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave video game for example.
 * On The Present Day, the 2002 fanfare from the 2nd logo is used.
 * On current regional prints of The Pagemaster, the 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement is used, due to sloppy plastering.
 * On the regional release of Rio 2, the fanfare is remixed to sound like a carnival.

Availability: This logo was ultra common during its run, but it's now very rare, due to mostly being plastered by the second Fox Benedict Pictures logo.
 * Notable films with this include two of the Endless films, The Present Day, Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave, Nail Polish, Space 4, and Winston the Armadillo (2013).
 * This logo made a strange appearance on the Makotanian film Rising Dough (2016) [Known in Makotania as Pâte Levante] for unknown reasons.
 * This logo is also seen on regional prints of 20th Century Fox films, plastering the 1994 (The Pagemaster) and 2009 (all other appearances) 20th Century Fox logos.

Editor's Note: A successor to the previous logo, which was also done by Blue Sky Studios. On a side note, Blue Sky Studios also animated their final on-screen logo from 2013-19.

6th Logo (January 1, 2015-December 31, 2016, September 20, 2019, October 23, 2020, October 14, 2021, May 1, 2022)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights IX", "The Tower IX", "The FIP Tower X", "2010s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights VI", "The CGI Tower VI", "The CGI FIP Tower VI", "The Pre-TriStar Tower"

Logo: Same as the 2nd logo, but it looks more upgraded, with elements from the previous logo. The structure is the same as the 1994 logo.

Bylines:


 * December 21, 2016: "a TRISTAR IMPERIAL PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company"

Variants: Eight in total.


 * The logo is sometimes still (but it is always still on a few video games based on the company's movies), open matte, or sped up.
 * The open matte version was used on the regional release of The Peanuts Movie, but we can see Schroeder on the stage playing the theme on his piano.
 * A version has the trademark symbol instead of the registered trademark symbol.
 * A version used for video games has part of the logo. Sometimes it is the full version, like on Cactus for Wii U and Microsoft Windows for example.
 * Another version for video games has a still print version.
 * The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Cactus have the print version of the logo, but it is superimposed over the opening sequence.
 * On Cactus, the logo is cut short to the middle.
 * There is a variant without tthe Sunflash.

Closing Title:
 * Same as before, but with this logo in place of the 2009 logo.
 * On the regional releases of The Peanuts Movie and Ice Age: Collision Course, the print logo used on some video games is shown.
 * On Cactus, the same middle-length version as transcribed above.
 * On Trucks 2, it is the full version of the logo as transcribed above.

FX/SFX: Same as the 2nd logo, this time, done by Jakarta Technologies.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 20th Century Fox fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variants: Only four.
 * Sometimes, the opening theme of the film, the closing theme of the film, or silence.
 * On the regional release of The Peanuts Movie, the theme is played by Schroeder on his toy piano.
 * The video game variants are silent usually, but sometimes the short version sometimes has the 20th Television theme or the still version sometimes has the game's opening theme.
 * At the beginning of Cactus, only the second half of the fanfare is heard. At the end of said movie, the logo is silent.

Availability: Was common during its run, but now it's becoming harder to find, due to mostly being replaced by the second Fox Benedict Pictures logo.
 * Appeared on one of the Endless films, Trucks 2, Gander 2, The Dark Lord, and Cactus.
 * This logo made surprise appearances on the regional releases of Ad Astra, The Empty Man, Amarração de Amor, and the Merriamese comedy Our Books are Sealed.
 * This logo (like the previous logo) is also seen on regional prints of 20th Century Fox films (such as Home, Joy, The Peanuts Movie, Deadpool, Kung Fu Panda 3, Ice Age: Collision Course, Trolls, and Assassin's Creed), plastering the final 20th Century Fox logo. Current regional prints of the three DreamWorks Animation films mentioned replace it with the Universal Pictures logo.
 * The version with the TriStar byline is extremely rare and was only shown in a conference when TriStar Benedict was planning to buy Fox Benedict.

Editor's Note: A placeholder to a more popular logo that served this logo as the base.

7th Logo (January 1, 2017-January 16, 2020, July 4, 2021)
Nicknames: "The Searchlights X", "The Tower X", "The FIP Tower XI", "2010s Tower III", "The CGI Searchlights VII", "The CGI Tower VII", "The CGI FIP Tower VII", "The TriStar Tower", "The Pre-Kirby Tower"

Logo: Same as before, but everything is redone. The camera animation is more sleeker than the previous logo, the "HOLLYWOOD" sign is replaced with "ZR LANDO, SOUTH OCCITANIA" (Also known as Rayon, where the studio's headquarters are located in), the searchlights are remodeled, and the byline now reads "A TRISTAR COMPANY" with slight modifications made to the structure, text, and sky backdrop. The TriStar Imperial Pictures logo can be seen before it starts.

Variants: A lot of them.
 * On some video games, such as The Porch and It's Pony!: The Video Game, it shows a portion of the logo.
 * There is also a still print version seen on other video games, a still version of the animated logo, or, very rarely, the full version as described above.
 * IMAX versions exist.
 * A version with the trademark symbol exists. This appears on Space 5 and Space 6.
 * Sometimes, the logo is bylineless. This was seen on the film Exploration and on regional releases of the Blue Sky films Ferdinand and Spies in Disguise.
 * On the aforementioned Blue Sky films Ferdinand and Spies in Disguise, the logo is enhanced like the final 20th Century Fox logo.
 * A version of this logo without the TriStar transition exists.
 * A prototype version exists. The sky is a bit different, the logo is in a different color, the sunflash is removed, and the Rayon sign is moved to the left. The logo is also bylineless.
 * A 4:3 version exists. This was used on the 2017 DVD of The King of Weston: 90th Anniversary Special Edition.
 * Sometimes the logo lacks the registered trademark symbol.
 * Ωmega 2 has the logo in a blue color, and is set on a black background.
 * For the last year of this logo (2020, even though the logo ended in 2021), the TriStar byline is carved on the structure. When the second half of the fanfare begins, the camera pans up to see a pair of streaks drawing a "35" behind the structure. "CELEBRATING" appears letter by letter. A second later, "YEARS" fades in. "1985" and "2020" are between the text and fades in with "YEARS" as well.
 * The logo may be still sometimes, but it is always still on handheld versions of video games.
 * The sunflash might be absent in rare cases.
 * There is a middle-length version, and was only used on It's Pony! kiddie rides from Jolly Roger.
 * Starting on June 7th, 2018, when Amblin Partners was owned by TriStar, the transition does not appear on the logo if this logo is followed after the DreamWorks Imperial Pictures logo.

Closing Title:
 * Same as before, but with this logo described above.
 * On the regional releases of Ferdinand and Spies in Disguise, the print logo used on video games is shown. The latter of which is the final animated feature to use a regular FIP logo.
 * On Shrub Garden 3: The Deep Freeze, It's Pony!, and Ode to Underwear (all of them are animated movies), the fully animated version is used as a closing logo.

FX/SFX: Great and powerful CGI done by Jakarta Technologies.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 Fox fanfare arrangement.

Music/Sounds Variants: Only five of them.
 * Sometimes, the film's opening/closing theme will play.
 * On the middle-length version and in some cases, it's silent.
 * For the game variants, the 1997 20th Century Fox Television fanfare is used, the logo is silent, or the opening theme is used.
 * In Ωmega 2, camera flashes are heard with the film's opening theme.
 * On It's Pony! and Ode to Underwear, the fanfare is out of sync with the logo. Current prints of the former have the audio corrected, and current prints of the latter use the second Fox Benedict logo while keeping the audio out of sync.

Availability: Was ultra common during its usage, but it's now uncommon, bordering on very rare, due to mostly being plastered with the second Fox Benedict logo.
 * This logo was the most popular logo of all time. First debuted on Examination, and then appeared on Chances To Waste, three of the Endless films, NEO: The World Ends With You, Moving Sand, Doubleday, When, Cuyabra, Hey, Listen!, The Lost Legend, Space 5, Space 6, Exploration, Shrub Garden 3: The Deep Freeze, It's Pony! (the company's second Paramount Pictures collaboration, this time with Nickelodeon Movies), and Ode to Underwear, among others.
 * The 35th Anniversary variant made its debut on The Fox Imperial 35th Birthday Jubilee and made its last appearance on Too Much to Deal Through. This logo also appears with the TriStar Imperial Pictures logo, where the word "TRISTAR" zooms in to the second part of the light intro.
 * This logo also appears on regional releases of 20th Century Fox films from the regional release of Hidden Figures up to Underwater, with the exception being Ad Astra, which uses the previous logo instead of this for some reason. Current regional prints of The Boss Baby and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie remove this logo, and replace it with either the Universalism Pictures logo or a black screen.
 * For some reason, this logo made a very strange appearance on the film Absence, which was released on July 4, 2021.
 * The middle length version is extremely rare, and was only seen on It's Pony! kiddie rides from Jolly Roger.
 * While most of these movies plaster it with the second Fox Benedict logo, only a few titles like It's Pony! keep this logo intact on current prints.

Editor's Note: A significant improvement to the previous logo, although everything changes in the next logo. This is also the last logo to have a middle-length version.

1st Logo (January 17, 2020-December 31, 2021, January 17, 2020-April 26, 2022 [Home Video Variant])
sii3So8T_nQ Zoa9QVywrS8

Nicknames: "The Searchlights XI", "The Tower XI", "The FBP Tower", "2020s Tower", "The CGI Searchlights VIII", "The CGI Tower VIII", "The CGI FBP Tower", "The Post-TriStar Tower", "The Kirby Tower"

Logo: Nearly the same as the final Fox Imperial Pictures logo, except "IMPERIAL" is replaced with "BENEDICT", and "PICTURES" is taller to accommodate for it. There are also some additional changes like improved structure lighting, different white colored sunflash, fog glow effect, a different sky background, and sleeker looking searchlights.

Trivia: The Fox Benedict Animation logo uses a similar concept, albeit set during the day and no sunflash.

Bylines:


 * January 17, 2020-November 26, 2021: "A TRISTAR COMPANY"
 * November 27-December 31, 2021 (Primary): Bylineless
 * November 27, 2021-April 26, 2022 (Secondary, only used for home video releases): "A Kirby Studios Company"

Variants: A few.
 * Starting with the regional release Free Guy (although this variant of the logo itself debuted on January 1, 2021), the sky backdrop from the previous logo is used. The sunflash was also redone.
 * Beginning with the regional release of Vacation Friends, the registered trademark symbol and byline are absent.
 * On Space 7, the 2021 variant is still and has the trademark symbol instead of the registered trademark symbol. The logo is also bylineless.
 * Video games based on FBP films either have a still print version or a portion of the logo. Sometimes it shows the full version as transcribed above.
 * Starting in November 2021, the TriStar transition is absent, and just starts like a normal TCF logo.
 * In some cases, the sunflash is absent.
 * There is a warp speed version used on PAL prints of films.
 * The logo plays faster on the trailer for Minority ZR Lando 2.

Closing Title:
 * Same as before, but with this logo described above. This would be the last logo to have this as the primary closing variation.
 * On Miyako, Minority ZR Lando 2, and the regional releases of both Free Guy and The Last Duel, the entire logo is used as a closing logo without the fanfare, most likely due to the dubbing credits. For the first title, it is used at the end due to the opening using the 1953 logo, as the film takes place in 1980.
 * On the regional release of The Call of the Wild, the print logo is used. This is the first movie that is not animated to have this variation.

FX/SFX: Same as before. Outstanding CGI from Jakarta Technologies.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 Fox fanfare arrangement, as always.

Music/Sounds Variants: A few.
 * Sometimes, the opening theme of the film is used on the logo, or (in the case of Space 7) the logo is silent.
 * On the still print version, the logo is silent or has the opening theme of the game.
 * The short video game version is silent or uses the 20th Television fanfare.
 * The 1994 Fox fanfare and the 2002 fanfare from the second logo are used on some current prints of movies, due to sloppy plastering.
 * In some rare cases, the 2002 Fox fanfare plays over the logo, due to more sloppy plastering.
 * On some films, such as Miyako, the fanfare sounds more synthesized.
 * The closing variant is silent or uses the ending theme.
 * On British and Australian releases of films, the fanfare is higher-pitched.

Availability: While no longer in use, it is still fairly common.
 * Unlike the previous logos, it is not being plastered over, and it's still easy to find, especially on TV, VOD platforms, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Disney+, Hulu, and physical media.
 * First appeared on Crossroads of Xabachta, and was used on multiple movies until December 31, 2021.
 * It also appears on pre-January 2022 Fox Benedict Pictures films, and plasters the 20th Century Studios logo on regional releases of 20th Century Studios films such as The Call of the Wild, Free Guy, Vacation Friends, The Last Duel, and West Side Story, but not The Empty Man and Amarração de Amor which use the sixth Fox Imperial Pictures logo instead, and Ron's Gone Wrong which uses the first animation division logo in its place.
 * This logo was also used as a de-facto home video logo (mostly the variant with the Kirby Studios byline) for releases under the Searchlight Home Media label (which uses a short version of the Searchlight Pictures logo).
 * Do not expect this to appear on Absence, as this film uses the previous logo instead of this one for a very odd reason.
 * The last physical media release to use this was Takashi, which was released on home video on April 26, 2022.
 * This does not appear on animated features, as the Fox Benedict Animation logo made its debut when this logo was revealed, it does however appear before the opening previews (or main menu if you count the Ron's Gone Wrong regional DVD) on their physical media releases.
 * This also appeared on the second trailer and some TV spots for The Ghost and Molly McGee, but the film itself is the first film to use an FBA logo.

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. The Television division still has this design, though it could get updated in the future. This is also the first logo not to have a middle-length version since the 1985-1993 logo.

2nd Logo (November 19, 2021-)
tWaJsbnCK20 6tGERMMe9lc

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", "Plastering Tower II", "Centennial Tower", "100 Years Of Fox Benedict Pictures", "Cookie Jar Group's Cousin In The Film Industry"

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but everything is upgraded. 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 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 four previous logos (the 2020, 2017, 2015, and 1985 ones). They used the structure and added more realistic effects to blend in with 20th Century Studios.

Variants:
 * On the trailers for Doubleday II, the logo is in a different color and uses a different sky background.
 * The video games based on FBP films either have one of the following: a still print version, a portion of the animated logo, or the fully animated version as transcribed above. All of these are used interchangeably.
 * The sunflash may be included in some cases.
 * On Magnet, the Kirby Studios byline is added below. May be only seen on early prints, as later prints and subsequent movies restore the normal version. However, the byline will remain with the animation division for stylistic purposes.

Closing Title: Either the tail end of the logo, a still print version fading in and out, or the full animation as transcribed above. All three of these are used interchangeably, unlike previous logos.

FX/SFX: Same as before, but enhanced.

Music/Sounds: The 1998 Fox fanfare arrangement, as always.

Music/Sounds Variants: A handful of audio variants are known or are expected to be used.
 * Sometimes the opening theme of the movie is used, or the logo is silent.
 * On British and Australian prints of movies (physical media and TV airings), the fanfare is higher pitched.
 * On the 2022 Restoration of Wingate Dreams (Legacy), the 1994 FIP fanfare is used as a homage to the original film. This fanfare and the 2002 fanfare from the second logo also appear on a lot of current prints of movies, due to even heavier plastering.
 * The game versions are usually silent, but sometimes the animated version has the 20th Television theme or the still version has the opening theme of the game.
 * On current prints of Ode to Underwear and some current prints of some pre-2009 movies, the fanfare is out of sync with the logo.
 * The closing variant is silent or has the ending theme of the movie.
 * As with the previous logo, some films have the fanfare more synthesized.
 * On the trailer for Magnet, sirens are heard on the logo.

Availability: Currently in use, and getting very common as weeks go by.
 * It debuted on the trailers for Doubleday II, and then made its theatrical debut on the aforementioned film on January 7, 2022 (although it debuted earlier on January 1, 2022, premiering earlier at the Rayon Cinema).
 * This logo is also scheduled to appear on future films such as Space 8: The Final Chapter, Cuyabra 2, Wingate Dreams 2, Endless 9, the regional release of Avatar 2, the live-action remake of Golfers on the Road (October 28, 2022), and Wolf Hunters, among others.
 * The logo also appears as a de-facto home video logo on brand new FBP home media releases because the previous logo retired, starting with the release of Turning Red on May 3, 2022 (preceded by the shortened 2011 Disney logo), despite a variant of the Fox Benedict Animation logo on the actual movie.
 * The logo also appeared on Takashi (albeit using a variant), the regional release of Death On the Nile, The Incident on Eastwood Road, the 2022 Restoration of Wingate Dreams (1996) (commonly known as Wingate Dreams (Legacy)), Lost Highway (2022), North Sydney: The Tale of a Businessman, and Magnet.
 * Like before, this doesn't appear on animated features, because they have the Fox Benedict Animation logo, though it does appear before the opening previews, pretty much like before.
 * It also plasters over the Fox Imperial Pictures logos on current prints of movies, except if using a custom variation or if the audio is fixed. Fox Benedict Pictures does this every week.
 * It was rumored to make its debut on the regional release of Free Guy, but the film itself actually used the previous logo with the 2009 TCF sky backdrop.

Editor's Note: A magnificent update to the previous logo, and a wonderful way to celebrate its upcoming centenary. Like the previous logo, the name change may be annoying and divisive to some. Only time will tell if the Television division will update its logo to match. Since March 1, 2022, as Fox Benedict Pictures started to release multiple pre-2020 movies on 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray and re-released those aforementioned movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, this logo is ultimately starting to become a mixed bag for people because of its brand new plastering habits, and plasters over older logos. It was also fatal that the studio lost interest in the Gander franchise, with Loud Pictures distributing the upcoming third installment.
