Searchlight Pictures/Trailer Variations

These are the logo variations seen on trailer throughout the years by Searchlight Pictures (earlier as Fox Searchlight Pictures), with more to be added overtime.

Fox Searchlight Pictures
Stealing Beauty (1996): The 1996 logo is pillarboxed due to the logo not being well optimized for 2.35:1 or wider aspect ratios.

Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997): The 1996 logo is heavily cropped and is in a colder color tempature. Like on Stealing Beauty, this version is not well optimized for ratios wider than 1.85:1.

Love and Other Catastrophes (1997): The logo is zoomed out further than usual.

Two Girls and a Guy (1998): Same as Love and Other Catastrophes, but with less saturation on the sky.

NOTE: On a few trailers, it'll just use the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo at the time.

Slums of Beverly Hills (1998): The logo is orange with the 2.35:1 version of the News Corporation byline and is pushed to the left.

Polish Wedding (1998): Same as Two Girls and a Guy, but is paler.

Cousin Bette (1998): Same as Love and Other Catastrophes, but it is zoomed out way further than usual.

Note: this variant is the biggest open matte of any Fox Searchlight logo ever exploited. This is so the logo cuts off on the bottom and "floats", a la the 1981 20th Century Fox logo on the TV spot for Short Time.

Among Giants (1999): Same as Slums of Beverly Hills, but the color scheme is brighter and zoomed in a bit.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999): The logo is film deteriorated.

Boys Don't Cry (1999): Same as Slums of Beverly Hills and Among Giants, but is centered, in normal darker colors, and flickers to the moon and vice versa and animates really fast. Seen on the VHS trailer. The logo is the same as in the movie itself without the flickering, but normal.

Woman on Top (2000): The logo is zoomed in a lot. Seen on the VHS trailer.

Bootmen (2000): Same as Cousin Bette, but is very slightly zoomed in a tiny bit.

Quills (2000): Same as Cousin Bette, but it's zoomed in slightly, pushed up a bit, and uses the smaller News Corporation byline.

The Deep End (2001): The logo is intense blue.

Waking Life (2001): It consists of a monkey seen on a stool beside a film projector in an underground building. Then he logo can be seen in wrap-speed projected and turns into a cartoon until it gets a lot more bright.

One Hour Photo (2002): The logo is slightly darker and also squished.

Brown Sugar (2002): The logo is in a set of circles. Sometimes it shakes and spins a bit, like on the VHS trailer.

Bend It Like Beckham (2002): Same as The Good Girl and One Hour Photo, but the color scheme is orange and transitioned by a flying soccer ball.

28 Days Later (2002): Suddenly, all of the searchlights turn off one by one while it slowly zooms out.

The Ringer (2005): The logo is black and white.

Another trailer has the print logo made from the shapes multi-colored.

Night Watch (2006): The logo shakes and jitters a lot, and it's colored blue.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006): The logo has a moss green tint and the searchlights turn on and animate. Note: this was a still image with no searchlights lit except for on the front, same as the 28 Days Later variant but the three searchlights are not in the same animation as the normal logo.

Thank You for Smoking (2006): The logo speeds up and slows down at various intervals and the News Corporation byline is cut off.

The History Boys (2006): Same as Roll Bounce, but is colored differently and doesn't zoom in a lot.

I Think I Love My Wife (2007): The prototype 1995 logo is used, zoomed in, and is styled like the animated 1995 logo. The "O" in "FOX" is replaced with a ring.

The East (2013): The logo is glitched with scenes from the movie and The East's symbol (a compass with an "E" on it) is visible.
