* In ''Icebreaker'', the logo starts with a very slow fade-in, and it's still before animating; then, after fully animating, it freezes before fading out. The logo is also darker and slower. The way this logo fades and freezes is rather similar to the version found on the Widescreen Series promo on some 1996 Fox tapes. There's also a still bitmap of the end of the normal logo, found in the game's files in the menus directory.

*On the Blu-ray discs of ''Ice Age: The Meltdown'', ''Chain Reaction'', and ''Alien vs. Predator'', the 2003 logo is still except for the Fox logo, which is now the corporate version with the rear searchlights re-animated to match the standard version of the 1994 logo, but also reverses at a certain point, a la the 1981 Fox logo's long version. Also, the entire sky (including the clouds and the stars) pans to the right.

**While this began to be phased out starting in late 2004 on DVDs in favor of the 2003 variant, 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.
