fXM Productions

Logo (October 31, 1997-1999)


Visuals: On a night sky theme, the screen zooms out to reveal the fXM structure with searchlights. Sometimes, the trademark symbol is seen at the right.

Variants:

  • A promo has the color scheme for the structure switched to black and white.
  • Another promo has the camera continuously panning at two shots of the fXM structure, which is rock gray. The sky can be seen in an orangish and black color scheme. After nearly 9 seconds, the camera zooms out to reveal the entire structure. Searchlights and a helicopter can be seen surrounding the structure.

Technique: CGI done by Hatmaker Films in Boston, MA.

Audio: The last four notes of the Fox fanfare, ending with a three-note tune.

Audio Variants:

  • Sometimes, the ending theme of the show/promo is heard.
  • For the second variant, the audio consists of various notes of the Fox fanfare, followed by different orchestral notes sounding similar to the Fox fanfare. During the end, helicopter noises can be heard.

Availability: Can be seen on FXM Dailies.

Fox Movie Channel Productions

1st Logo (March 1, 2000-2005)


Visuals: On a black background, there is the Fox Movie Channel logo with a byline reading "MOVIES FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX" surrounded by a box. Under it, there are the words "A Fox Movie Channel Production", and under it is a copyright notice.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Can be seen on Hour of Stars.

2nd Logo (2005-March 26, 2013)


Visuals: The sequence starts on a side view of the Fox Movie Channel structure, apparently carved out of metal in a blue/white color, and redone in shaded 3D. The logo zooms out from the logo to make the camera panning. We also see searchlights which are seen as the camera pans around the structure. "PRODUCTIONS" reveals at the bottom of the screen.

Variants:

  • Starting in 2007, "MOVIE" and "CHANNEL" are in one row and are considerably smaller compared to "FOX" on the top.
  • 4:3 prints of this logo have blue bars above and below the logo.

Technique: Shaded CGI.

Audio: A synth whoosh with the last part of the Fox drumroll. In other cases, it usually uses the outro of the TV show.


FXM Productions

Logo (March 27, 2013-)


Visuals: On a dark background with many strips showing the FXM logo (the 2013 FX logo with an "M" attached to it) and the text "FX MOVIE CHANNEL", we rapidly zoom out to see the FXM logo on a few of the strips at an angle. "PRODUCTIONS" is shown underneath it.

Variant: A gold version exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A whoosh sound.

Availability: Seen on episodes of FXM Presents from this period.
