Searchlight Pictures/Logo Variations

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

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

Fox Searchlight Pictures

Girl 6 (1996): The logo is golden and is pushed up a bit.


Woman on Top (2000): The News Corporation byline is smaller. It also has more blue added to it.

Sunshine (2007): The logo animates in reverse, with the logo's fanfare playing as normal. When the fanfare finishes, the logo fades into a space background except for the sun, which remains intact.


The Darjeeling Limited (2007): The logo is a bit brighter and the background is a dark blue city skyline, and the fanfare is shortened. The News Corporation byline is in a different font and a bit smaller. There's no camera panning animation, the right searchlight doesn't turn towards us, and the right searchlight doesn't fill the screen with light at the end. The sky background has some elements to the 1953 20th Century Fox logo.



My Name is Khan (2010): The logo cuts in from the Fox STAR Studios logo and runs at 25 frames per second (albeit with a normal pitch) and has higher gamma and brightness.


The Art of Getting By (2011): Same as the Girl 6 variant, but uses the 2011 logo instead.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) and Isle of Dogs (2018): The bylineless 2011 logo is a still picture, except for the searchlights moving, and the fanfare is not heard. Similar to the logo variation from The Darjeeling Limited, there's no panning animation, the right searchlight doesn't turn towards us, and the right searchlight doesn't fill the screen with light at the end.


Battle of the Sexes (2017): The entire logo is a throwback to the 1953 20th Century Fox logo, but this time, the structure reads "FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES". It also features the 1935 20th Century Fox fanfare.


The Favourite (2018): The fanfare is sung by some birds.


Lucy In The Sky (2019): A blast off countdown is heard over the 2nd half of the 1997 fanfare. This continues to the TSG Entertainment logo.



Jojo Rabbit (2019): The drum part of the fanfare is heard over the opening theme.


Searchlight Pictures

The French Dispatch (2021): Same as The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs variants, except the 2020 logo is used. The logo is still silent.


The Heart Still Hurts (2021): The logo is cut to its last seconds and is in 4:3.



Antlers (2021): The full logo is completely silent.


Nightmare Alley (2021) and Fresh (2022): The logo is slightly darker and fades out before the entire screen is filled with light.



Nightmare Alley (2021): On the Vision in Darkness and Light version of the film, the logo is in black and white, like the whole film itself.


Fire Island (2022): The fanfare plays as normal, but some of the film's main characters are seen singing and talking along with the logo. Also, before it plays, we hear a guy say "Drums!" before the first searchlight is turned on.
