Nickname: "FXM Structure"

Logo: We see a close-up of a orange circular stage-like 3-D structure with the FX logo on one side: a giant "M" is on the other. Then we zoom out to reveal that the bottom of the structure says "MOVIES FROM FOX". Sometimes, the trademark symbol is seen at the right.

FX/SFX: A close-up of the structure and the searchlights moving. This was done by Hatmaker Films in Boston, MA.

Music/Sounds: A more orchestral and prestigious version of 20th Century Fox theme.

Availability: Extinct. Can be seen on FXM Dailies.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (March 1, 2000-2006)
Nickname: "Fox Movie Channel Structure"

Logo: We see the regular 20th Century Fox structure on its side, but then the camera pans and it reveals that the wordmark is replaced by "FOX MOVIE CHANNEL". As the camera sits in its position, it brightens and "MOVIES FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX" fades in below.

Variants:


 * Sometimes it lacks "MOVIES FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX".
 * There is a variant where various TCF logos appear (which include the Silent Movie and Cannonball Run variants, until we see the Fox Movie Channel structure in the style of the 1994 logo, on a night background.

FX/SFX: The camera panning and the searchlights moving.

Music/Sounds: Another version of the Fox fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variant: The variant has a remix of the 1997 fanfare.

Logo: On a black background, we see the Fox Movie Channel logo (a variation of the 20th Century Fox structure set against an orange background with "FOX MOVIE CHANNEL" replacing "20th CENTURY FOX") surrounded by a box, with the "MOVIES FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX" byline at the bottom. Under it, we see the words "A Fox Movie Channel Production", and under it is a copyright notice.

Nicknames: "3-D Searchlights II", "The Fox Movie Channel Structure II"

Logo: We start on a side view of the Fox Movie Channel structure, apparently carved out of metal in a blue/white color, are seen, redone again in 3D. We zoom 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.

FX/SFX: The zoom out of the camera around the Fox Movie Channel structure.

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