 * -|2013-2019=

Logo: We see a few copies of the 2007-2013 FX logo from the period floating and spinning around, and the camera is positioned close to this. We see another shot of this happening. As we only get a glimpse of this, a white 2D FX logo then spins to the center of the screen and facing the viewer on a dark background with a whitish-bluish light shining in the bottom-right corner. We also see shadows of the FX logos floating and spinning in the background as well. Copyright information appears below that reads "© [year] FX Networks, LLC. All Rights Reserved."

12th Logo (March 2, 2020-)
Logo: On a black background, the camera quickly pans around to see the FX logo forming (in the same style as the previous logo), with various different abstract scenes being projected onto the logo. As it finishes forming, the word "FEARLESS" fades onto the screen, before then quickly fading out. The FX logo, now a color, fades out soon after.

Variant:
 * Starting with the Mayans M.C. episode "Pap Struggles with the Death Angel" (2021), the opening variant is now bigger.
 * On the Atlanta episode "Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga", both variants are in black and white to fit with the episode's theme.
 * During the FX on Hulu panel in the 2020 Disney Investor Day, the logo was formed after the castle from the Disney logo, created with particles, was dissolved. After the logo was formed, it pans to the left side, as it goes inside, showcasing the various shows that network aired, along with reveals of new shows. After that, it goes outside, showing the FX logo once more, then it zooms out to show the rest of the Disney content, such as Disney+, Pixar, Marvel, Hulu and more, then it zooms in to the bottom right to show the chairman of FX, John Landgraf, a bit closer to the camera then fades out. At the end of the panel, the camera pans to the right as abstact scenes are projected then it changes color.

Closing Variant: The already-formed logo zooms out as the word "FEARLESS" fades in and out. Copyright information appears below that reads "© [year] FX Networks, LLC. All Rights Reserved."
