'''Logo:''' We start out looking at a city skyline (most likely that of Los Angeles, California). The camera begins to move right, past a searchlight. The searchlight turns on, followed by two more in the background turning on. We then reach the middle of the Fox "stack" structure, but instead of seeing a narrow "'''CENTURY'''", we see a large "<span style=" font-family: Impact; Arial, sans;">SEARCHLIGHT</span>". The camera pulls back and reveals "'''FOX'''" above and "'''PICTURES'''" below. After the logo is finished zooming out, the byline "{{Font|Arial|'''A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY'''}}" fades in, then the rightmost searchlight moves towards us, filling the screen with light, then we fade out.

'''Trivia:''' There is a brief animation rendering error about 7 seconds into the logo, as the camera pans past the front-right searchlight (before approaching the main structure). When it reaches the left side of the screen, the lighting and shading on the searchlight base suddenly shifts and changes positions.

'''Logo:''' This is a redone and more realistic version of the previous Fox Searchlight Pictures logo, based on the structure of the 2009 20th Century Fox logo. This time, it is in a dark/{{Font color|orange|orange}} evening environment. There are newer and more realistic textures added to the structure, we can see palm trees at the bottom at the start (as well as the addition of the Hollywood sign on the hills), three searchlights are deleted, and near the right at the end, and it's more obvious at the end that the right searchlight is pointing at us when it fills the screen with light. An (R) symbol is also now added to the logo.
