'''Fox Searchlight Pictures''' was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (now owned by [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]]) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) for independent, arthouse, foreign, horror, and African-American film releases, along with some comedy, action, romance, and family-friendly films. On January 17, 2020, parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to '''Searchlight Pictures''', along with its division becoming 20th Century Studios. | '''Fox Searchlight Pictures''' was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (now owned by [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]]) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) for independent, arthouse, foreign, horror, and African-American film releases, along with some comedy, action, romance, and family-friendly films.

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 "{{Font|Impact|'''SEARCHLIGHT'''}}". The camera pulls back and reveals "'''FOX'''" above and "'''PICTURES'''" below. After the logo is finished zooming out, the byline "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''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. | '''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).
