Co-production with Regency Enterprises, Indian Paintbrush, Dune Entertainment and American Empirical PicturesDecember 18, 2009Avatarfirst film to use the 2009 logo. From May 23, 2006 to March 4, 2008, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment co-distributed five Thomas & Friends DVDs from Seasons 9-11, including Carnival Capers (Rosie's first appearance on DVD), which was released in August 2007. In 1982, 20th Century Fox Film Corporation merged CBS Video Enterprises and 20th Century Fox Video to form CBS/Fox Video. Rare variant from early 2010 with the text "75 YEARS" below the "FOX" text in the Fox structure and the "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" text removed. With gold searchlights added for the 20th Century Fox Studio Classics collection trailer on the '98 tape of The Grapes of Wrath.
As a part of that, CBS/Fox looked to existing retail chains for direct sales. Toys R Us and Child World signed the first direct deals in July 1985 with CBS/Fox. Walt Disney Home Video soon followed with a direct deal with Toys R Us. Minimal to high, you might be surprised if you didn't expect the structure to reveal the text on its side. The shortened version might surprise those expecting the normal logo. Same as the 2nd logo, but, when the 1994 logo is formed, the words "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" in metallic gold zoom out below the logo , and the streaks of orange and blue all disappear at the end.

Fox Home Entertainment also started the early window policy, where the digital version is released through digital retailers two or three weeks before the discs, and was launched with Prometheus in September 2012. This also started Fox's Digital HD program where customers could download or stream 600 Fox films on connected devices at less than $15/film through multiple major platforms. However, Digital HD was soon dropped as 4K, or Ultra HD, was introduced in 2012.
This logo is referenced in a scene in the music video for the song "DVNO" by Justice. Said scene references both this logo and the Universal Pictures logo at the same time. This can be seen on the 1983 VHS of The Pride of the Yankees and many other films in said colors. Pete Smith says in his variant, "Hello there, congratulations on your choice of a great CBS/Fox film. Before settling back, here are scenes from two films available from the vast CBS/Fox Video catalog". There is an Australian variant where the logo appears in the corner and Australian television and radio announcer Pete Smith introduces the film. Used on international Laserdisc releases from 1995 to 2001, VHS releases from 1995 to 2006 and DVD releases from 1999 to that year.An SVG version of this logo is recommended but not required.
Variants
Bill Mechanic's arrival in 1993 from Walt Disney Home Video, as the new head of Fox Filmed Entertainment, saw new plans to move Fox forward, including FoxVideo. However, DeLellis was initially left alone, as Mechanic was occupied setting up multiple creative divisions within Fox. Mechanic had been the one to install the "Vault" moratorium strategy at Disney. Mrs. Doubtfire was released soon after Mechanic's arrival with a sell through price, and surpassed sale projections at 10 million tapes. FoxVideo was run by president Bob DeLellis, a 1984 hire at CBS/Fox and rose to group vice president and president in 1991.
A letterboxed version in a scope aspect ratio appears on the special letterbox collector's edition of the Star Wars trilogy. The Widescreen version has an abridged version of the extended TCF theme that starts when the logo zooms out and an energetic whoosh sound when the logo expands. The Ultra Stereo version is rare and can be found on the VHS releases of Satisfaction, Mindgames, Survival Quest, and Frankenstein Unbound.
Twentieth Century Fox Blu-ray Disc
From 2006 until 2009, the company also had a distribution deal with DIC Entertainment for the Care Bears, Madeline, Inspector Gadget and Dennis the Menace shows. In 2006, after closing their self-distribution unit, HIT Entertainment signed a home video deal with Fox. In 2008, HIT moved domestic distribution to Lionsgate Home Entertainment. In the United States, the company also distributed products from Relativity Media, Atlas Film Distribution, EuropaCorp U.S.A., Annapurna Pictures and Yari Film Group.
In 2004, 20th Century Fox passed on theatrical distribution, but picked up domestic home video rights to The Passion of the Christ. TCFHE continued obtaining additional Christian films' domestic home video rights for movies like Mother Teresa and the Beyond the Gates of Splendor documentary. After a 2005 test with a Fox Faith website, in 2006, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment launched its own film production banner for religious films using the same name. Total revenue for the expanded business unit would have been over $800 million, with FoxVideo providing the bulk at $650 million. Mechanic kept DeLellis as president of the expanded unit's North American operation, with Jeff Yap as international president.
A special version was seen on UK Widescreen VHS releases. The logo plays as normal, then it zooms out towards the middle of the screen and turns 3-D and it expands with movie scenes appears behind the background . The word "WIDESCREEN" pan past the screen vertically, then turns horizontal and rests in front of the Fox Video logo). There is also an alternate variant for educational releases.
This is retained on the 1994 UK VHS releases of the Star Wars trilogy, but not the 1992 or 1995 US VHS trilogies, despite showing the logo on the covers and labels of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, their laserdisc counterparts actually use this logo. On PAL releases, a high-pitched variant of the original 1954 CinemaScope extension of the TCF fanfare was used. Sometimes, this would plaster the film's original Fox logo on a few Fox titles such as the 1982 reissues of Silver Streak, The Omen, and The Turning Point.
Mechanic left Fox in June 2000, while Wyatt resigned in December 2002. Jim Gianopulos replaced Mechanic, while executive vice president of domestic marketing and sales, Mike Dunn, took over from Wyatt. Wyatt left to start a direct-to-video film production and financing company for Japanese-style animated programming. This is one of the most common logos to find on DVDs, Laserdiscs and VHS tapes from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, and the first to appear on DVDs released by that company. Of course, any DVDs with this logo are virtually always Region 1 encoded.
In March 1991, a reorganization of the company was implemented, which would give Fox greater control of the joint venture. All of CBS/Fox's distribution functions were transferred to the newly formed FoxVideo, which would also take over exclusive distribution of all 20th Century Fox products. CBS began releasing their products under the "CBS Video" name , with CBS/Fox handling marketing and FoxVideo handling distribution. CBS/Fox would retain the license to non-theatrical products from third parties, including those from BBC Video and the NBA. This logo was internationally used on Laserdisc releases from September 1995 to 2001, VHS releases right up to January 2006 and DVD releases from 1999 to September that year. This is a list of films produced by 20th Century Fox from 2000 to 2020.
