Background

Fox World was an international production sub-division of Fox Television Studios (now "Fox 21 Television Studios", which would become "Touchstone Television", and then folded to "20th Television".) and a division of 20th Century Fox International Television created to make reality shows overseas. It was founded in 2001, and went defunct in the 2010s.

(2001-2011)

Logo: We zoom-out from a golden rotating model of Earth, to reveal it is the standard 1994 20th Century Fox logo except with "FOX WORLD" instead of "20th CENTURY FOX". The "O" is the golden model of Earth. The byline, "A FOX TELEVISION STUDIOS COMPANY" fades-in when the logo forms.

Variants:

  • A sped-up version exists.
  • Two shortened variants exist. In some cases, the logo begins by zooming out of the structure. In other cases, the camera is already in the finished spot, with the searchlights moving in the background.
  • On Le Cercle, the logo flashes in from the credits.
  • In Troca de Familia, an additional copyright stamp fades in during the zoom-out. This copyright stamp fades out before the byline fades in.
    • On Simple Life: Mudando de Vida, a copright stamp appears above the byline. There is also a variant, where the logo has a blue-ish tint.
    • Another variant with a copyright stamp appears in A Bela e o Mestre, where the stamp is in a brown-ish color and is above the logo.
  • On Meu Odioso e Inacreditável Noivo, "UM FORMATO CRIADO POR FOX WORLD PRODUCTIONS" appears above the logo in white.
  • An in-credit version showing a screenshot of the logo exists.
    • On Pinoy Bingo Night, the logo is animated. Some episodes have the logo bylineless.
    • On The Murder Game, the print version of the logo is shown.
    • Another animated in-credit variant can be seen on Joe Millionaire UK.
    • On Unan1mous UK, the logo is bylineless and appears with the Fox Television Studios logo.
    • On Patinando por un Sueño, the logo appears on the bottom right corner, with a blue stripe coming from the left.
  • The placement of the byline could differ.
  • Sometimes, the widescreen variant is squished to fullscreen.

Technique: CGI animation by Flip Your Lid Animation, who also animated the 1994 standard logo.

Music/Sounds: Either the end of the show, or the second half of the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare, composed by David Newman.

Availability: Extremely rare, as most of the shows this logo appeared in haven't been released on home media.

  • It has been seen on multiple international formats that 20th Century Fox produced. This includes reality and gameshows.
  • The in-credit version can be found in The Murder Game (the British version of Murder in Small Town X), Die Spielarena (a German version of Face Off), Pinoy Bingo Night (the Philippines version of National Bingo Night), Britannia India's Child Geniuses and in the French TV movie Le Lion.
  • Elsewhere, the logo has been spotted in the Australian series Love Bytes, the New Zealand version of Captive, Troca de Familia (the Brazilian version of Trading Spouses), the Finnish version of Joe Millionaire titled Miljonääri-Jussi, the French, Russian and Australian versions of Temptation Island and in the third season of Camp Orange titled Camp Orange: The Mystery of Spaghetti Creek.
  • The logo also appeared on the Russian and Portuguese versions of The Beauty and The Geek, as well as the Portuguese version of My Big, Fat, Obnoxious Husband.
  • The sped-up version was spotted in L'Île de la tentation, the French version of Temptation Island. This was used in the show's 4th and 5th seasons.
  • This logo was last seen on Le Cercle, the French Canadian version of Face Off. It is unknown if the logo appeared in the final episode of the show.
