'''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. | ||

* Starting with the release of ''Enough Said'' on September 18, 2013, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time since the 1995 logo. This is mainly due to the split of News Corporation on June 28, 2013. | * Starting with the release of ''Enough Said'' on September 18, 2013, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time since the 1995 logo.

* On the trailers for ''Tolkien'' and ''Antlers'' (the next logo is on the latter), as well as on the former film itself, along with others such as ''Ready or Not'', ''Lucy in the Sky'', ''Jojo Rabbit'', and ''A Hidden Life'', there was a 25th Anniversary variant of the logo. After the screen is filled with light, it fades to a {{Font color|darkgray|dark grey}} background with a {{Font color|silver|silver}} rectangle. The object has a large "25" on the left with "YEARS" inside the 5 on in the first quarter on the left, and in the other three quarters is the print logo, minus the searchlights. | * On the trailers for ''Tolkien'' and ''Antlers'' (the next logo is on the latter), as well as on the former film itself (theatrical prints only, the regular variant is seen elsewhere), along with others such as ''Ready or Not'', ''Lucy in the Sky'', ''Jojo Rabbit'', and ''A Hidden Life'', there was a 25th Anniversary variant of the logo.
