'''Logo:''' We see the end of the 1994-2010 Fox logo, with neither the News Corporation byline nor the registered trademark symbol. We then zoom out, to reveal that it is in a box. The box is in a larger box colored cadet blue, and next to the Fox logo box are the words "{{font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''20th Century Fox Home Entertainment'''}}}}" in Latin 725 font, spanning across three lines.

'''Later Variant:''' This logo was enhanced in 2003; the box is now grey with a gold border, the company name set in ITC Garamond, and the Fox logo is the filmed version, and has the News Corporation byline and registered trademark symbol.


'''Trivia:''' The version of the Fox logo used in this logo is an unedited render of the logo from Flip Your Lid Animation, before it was transferred to film.

*Outside the USA and Canada, this logo can be seen on video releases and television broadcasts of ''Casper: A Spirited Beginning'' and ''Casper Meets Wendy''. It made a surprise appearance on the UK VHS release of ''Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask'' after the 1995 international version of the TCFHE logo and before the 1995 Fox Video logo. Also appears before the rare CBS/Fox Video logo on the UK VHS release of ''FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue'' and the PAL DVD of ''Bartok the Magnificent'' (at the start of the film, the 2nd international TCFHE logo is seen before the menu).

*While this began to be phased out starting in late 2004 on DVDs in favor of the next logo, this version was more common until mid-2006; especially on full-screen releases which did not have a version of the next logo made until later (one such example being ''Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith''). The last titles to have this logo were ''American Dad! Volume 3'' and the 2008 DVD release of ''Babes in Toyland'' (1934), which were the last Fox and MGM releases to feature the logo, respectively.

Although the variant was rarely used after its debut year, it appeared on the 1999 VHS reprint of ''The Towering Inferno'' (the DVD used the fade-out). It is unknown which DVDs used this version as most used the standard version with the fade-out.

Volume 4'', ''Family Guy: Volume Seven'', ''Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy'', and the twelfth season of ''The Simpsons'', all released in 2009 (this can be chalked up to the fact that season five has a 2008 copyright on the case and discs).

Once the logo is fully revealed, the News Corporation byline fades in at the bottom of the screen (on pre-2013 releases). The registered trademark sign fades in as well.
