* On the 2001 UK VHS release of ''The Blue Max'', the "20th Century Fox Video presents" voice-over variation is surprisingly retained, appearing right after the 1995 international TCFHE logo.

'''Legacy:''' This is likely a placeholder logo, as CBS/Fox Video began releasing about a month after this logo was discontinued.

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. This logo was only used in Australia. Some examples include a Betamax copy of ''High Anxiety'' and VHS copies of ''Norma Rae'', ''Willie & Phil'' and ''Omen III: The Final Conflict''. It was also spotted on a VHS copy of ''The Domino Principle'', which was originally released by [[ITC Entertainment Group|ITC Entertainment]]. One tape that had the still variant was ''Star Wars''. These videos are easy to spot, with a big blue or orange label containing the print logo on the top of the front and back of the video case.

'''Legacy:''' While this is a rather simple logo, at least the Australian division made a proper home video logo.

'''Availability:''' Only seen on a German Laserdisc of ''Alien'' in the place of the normal TCF logo.

'''Legacy:''' This is another effortless logo that seems like a placeholder.

'''Legacy:''' Those familiar with the later CBS/Fox logos might not expect this, but it's nothing that's too out of place. The main Australian variant definitely has a lot more effort put into it, though.

'''Legacy:''' Again, those familiar with the next logo might not be expecting the simpler animation. However, they certainly will recognize the iconic music.

'''Legacy:''' If you look closely in the closing version, the final "R" is offline with the text.

* It strangely appeared on some early '90s reprints of earlier CBS/Fox titles with CBS/Fox packaging and labels, including ''My Bodyguard'' and ''Short Circuit''.

'''Legacy:''' In most Fox logos, the gaping holes between the letters are usually filled up with a different color to give a clear indication of what the letter is. However, the way these are made make it look like that they are floating. Also, the shining on the TCF fanfare variant is clearly looped poorly. In addition, one of the searchlight bases is obviously clipping through the circular platform. Ironically, the widescreen version looks a lot better than the normal version due to how it crops out the clipping, the fact that it's practically a still logo helping matters. The same can't be said for the widescreen version of the next logo...

'''Legacy:''' Many consider this to be an ugly logo, due to its weird, dull colors and off-model appearance. The letters also don't quite match the TCF logo (which the previous logos had in their favor). The widescreen version also looks severely cropped.

'''Legacy:''' This is often seen as the best of the Fox Video logos. It has nice animation for the time, the concept of which can be seen as a precursor to the [[Searchlight Pictures|Fox Searchlight Pictures]] logo.

'''Legacy:''' This is a downgrade from the previous logo; because the logo is set in the same frame rate as the filmed Fox logo, it's significantly choppier as a result, and overall it looks cheaper too.

'''Legacy:''' Same as before, but you might be surprised if you didn't expect the tower to reveal the text on its side. The color grading on the 2016 enhanced version might be a bit tacky though. Nonetheless, this ended TCFHE on a high note.

'''Legacy:''' This is a well-liked logo in general, but some first-time viewers may be caught off-guard by the structure zooming out. Also, the off-colors on the normal version is really unprofessional. As with the 1995 [[Sony Wonder]] and 1998 [[Klasky-Csupo]] logos, it has gained notoriety as a common subject of usually low-quality parodies and remixes on YouTube.

* In Australia, it was used in tandem with the previous logo on DVD releases up until sometime in the mid-2000's (one example of a Region 4 DVD released in this era that uses this logo is the Region 4 DVD release of ''Never Been Kissed'').

'''Legacy:''' It's pretty much the same as the movie logo. Nothing too special. But it is still a favorite for those who seen it.
