* From March 22, 2013 to June 2, 2017, it was seen at both the start and end of [[DreamWorks Animation]] films, right before said company's logo, beginning with ''The Croods'' and ending with ''Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie''. On post-2018 prints of all these movies, this is plastered by the current [[Universal Pictures]] logo, although some prints after 2018 may retain it. | * From March 22, 2013 to June 2, 2017, it was seen at both the start and end of [[DreamWorks Animation]] films, right before said company's logo, beginning with ''The Croods'' and ending with ''Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie''.

** However, on BBC prints of ''How to Train Your Dragon 2'', ''Penguins of Madagascar'', ''Home'', ''Kung Fu Panda 3'', and ''Trolls'', it's instead plastered by the 2011 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo, even though Paramount ended its distribution deal with DreamWorks in 2012. In the case of ''HTTYD 2'', ''Penguins of Madagascar'' and ''Kung Fu Panda 3'', it's possible that this was done to maintain consistency with each film's predecessor, which were all distributed by Paramount. | ** However, on BBC prints of ''How to Train Your Dragon 2'', ''Penguins of Madagascar'', ''Home'', ''Kung Fu Panda 3'', and ''Trolls'', it's instead plastered by the 2011 [[Paramount Pictures]] logo, even though Paramount ended its distribution deal with DreamWorks in 2012.

* Despite the company's renaming in early 2020, the "20th Century Fox" name still sporadically appears on some newer productions. For example, despite using the next logo in trailers and promotional material, ''The Empty Man'' (released on October 23, 2020) likely used this logo due to having been shelved for three years after being shot in 2017. It also appears on the 2021 Brazilian film ''Amarração do Amor'', and a season 3 episode of ''This Is Us'' (despite [[20th Century Fox Television]] producing that show). | * Despite the company's renaming in early 2020, the "20th Century Fox" name still sporadically appears on some newer productions.

Unlike WB and Disney, Fox does not have a closing logo, so the animated closing variant is used. | * Occasionally, it appears at the end of some international prints of old [[Warner Bros.
