'''Logo:''' Basically an enhanced version of the last logo. It's nearly the same as before, except "FOX" has been removed from the top of the structure and the words are slightly taller and larger to accommodate for it, a la the final [[Fox Interactive]] logo. The Los Angeles cityscape in the background is larger and more detailed with greater depth, the mountains are more realistic and multilayered, the skyline is much different, the ® symbol has been removed, the searchlights (aside from their light beams) are a lot darker in color, and the Hollywood sign is pushed up to resemble the one in real life. | '''Logo:''' Basically an enhanced version of the last logo.
