10th Logo (January 7, 2008-December 20, 2019)
2008-2013=

Visuals: There is a few copies of the FX logo (this time without the searchlight box) floating and spinning around, and the camera is positioned close to this. There is 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 faces 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."

Later Variant: Starting in 2013, a modified version of the FX logo is used (with the letters connected at the top), now on a background with a  light shining greatly at the center without shadows. In 2018, a lens flare was added on the bottom right corner of the screen.

Variant: A short version exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A three-note deep synth tune with two slow and soft hi hat-like sounds.

Audio Variants:
 * On Sons of Anarchy, the ending theme of the show is used.
 * On one European-located audio track of Netflix's print of the season 5 premiere of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, entitled "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis", the logo is high-pitched, along with the 3 Arts Entertainment, RCG and FX Productions logos.
 * This is due to the service using a PAL print.
 * The pitch is corrected on all other audio tracks.
 * On the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episodes "How Mac Got Fat" and "The Gang Recycles Their Trash", it used the 2007 FX Productions logo's music, due to a reverse plaster error.

Availability: Seen on all shows and TV movies produced by FX between 2008-2019.

11th Logo (September 2019-March 1, 2020)
Visuals: On a white setting, the screen pans past some vertical beams. As we pan to the front, it is revealed that these beams form the FX logo. The segmented background blinks out.

Closing Variant: The already-formed FX logo zooms in against a white silk setting and without copyright information.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Similar to the FXP music, but with just a piano and a synth. Composed by Mark Camperell and Owen Granich-Young.

Availability: It's seen on the second season of Mayans M.C. and Mr Inbetween, among other FX shows of the time.

12th Logo (March 2, 2020-)
Visuals: 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.

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."

Variants:
 * 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 the network aired at the time, 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.
 * The trailer for the 2024 series Shogun has the logo surrounded by a block drawn in Japanese ink.

Technique: CGI by Trollbäck+Company.

Audio: Same as before. In the closing variant, a deep synth tone is heard.

Availability: Seen at the beginning and end of FX programming from the time. The logo can also be seen at the end of the music video of "sad day" by FKA twigs.
