Logos[]
1st Logo (January 3, 1995-November 25, 2008, January 6, 2009-Present)[]
There is the end of the July 15, 1994-November 27, 2009 Fox logo with neither the News Corporation byline nor the registered trademark symbol. They then zoom out, to reveal that it is in a box. The box is in a larger box colored cadet blue, and next to the Fox logo box are the words "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment", spanning across three lines.
Variants[]
- On some releases, the logo faded in from black rather than cutting in from black.
- On the original/unaltered version of the logo, the logo cuts to black at the end of the animation after the searchlights in the 1994-2010 Fox logo face up towards the sky. This was the first version to be in use on the logo's debut.
- Trailer Variant: On some tapes with the Premiere Series promo containing this, the logo is shortened and the text on the right from the logo is replaced with "PREMIERE SERIES".
2nd Logo (July 4, 1995-November 12, 2002)[]
Here are the versions used on VHS/LD and DVD:
- VHS/LD: There is the July 15, 1994 Fox logo animate as normal until, about 13 seconds in, it zooms out, revealing the logo inside an inner box, itself contained inside an outer box on a blue-violet background with blurry searchlights, and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, stopping at the bottom of the inside of the outer box underneath the inner box containing the Fox logo (without the News Corporation byline).
- DVDs cut to the Fox logo being revealed inside the box.
3rd Logo (September 7, 1999-February 8, 2000 (primary logo); February 8, 2000-Present (secondary logo))[]
The standard 20th Century Fox logo which animates in a faster rate, but there are many circular streaks of orange and blue placed over it, which animate on and off the screen. When the logo is done, blue and purple gradient bars on top and bottom wipe in and the logo's sky background dissolves into a different cloud background, and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" (in the same fonts as before) appears via folding effect below the logo, and then fades out via blur effect after a few seconds leaving just the logo, which then fades out.
Variant[]
On an international home video trailer for Ice Age, the logo is in blue on a sky background with snow around it and a crack on it.
4th logo (June 1, 2004-October 4, 2005 (primary logo); October 4, 2005-November 24, 2009 (secondary logo))[]
Same as the previous logo, except the box is now grey with a gold border, the words "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" are set in ITC Garamond, and the Fox logo has the News Corporation byline. Basically an enhanced version of the first logo.
5th logo (September 12, 2006-June 12, 2007 (primary logo); June 12, 2007-May 25, 2010 (secondary logo))[]
It's the same as the 20th Century Fox Blu-ray Disc logo, but the ending animation is cut.
6th logo (November 24, 2009-October 1, 2019)[]
Same as the 2nd logo, but, when the 1994 logo is formed, the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in metallic gold zoom out below the logo (without the News Corporation byline), and the streaks of orange and blue all disappear at the end.
7th logo (May 25, 2010-December 29, 2020 (primary logo); December 29, 2020-Present (secondary logo))[]
Same as the current 20th Century Studios logo except that, at the end, the structure pans back farther than usual to reveal the stacked words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" on the right of the Fox structure with "HOME" set in Neutraface No. 2. Once the logo is fully revealed, the News Corporation byline fades in at the bottom of the screen (on pre-2013 releases). The registered trademark sign fades in as well.
Variants
- At first, there is a 16:9 widescreen version, seen on widescreen edition DVDs. Later on, a full-screen version was made and can be seen on DVD releases of TV shows and full-screen films.
- On the Blu-ray Discs of Ice Age: The Meltdown, Chain Reaction and Alien vs. Predator, the logo is still except for the Fox logo, which is now the corporate version with the rear searchlights re-animated to match the standard version of the 1994 logo, but also reverses at a certain point, a la the 1981 Fox logo's long version. Also, the entire sky (including the clouds and the stars) pan to the right.
