* There is an extended version of the 1953-1987 logo without the CinemaScope logo. It appeared only on two films, 1977's ''High Anxiety'' and 1981's ''History of the World, Part I'', both directed by and starring Mel Brooks. The logo loops in reverse like the next logo. | * There is an extended version of the 1953-1987 logo without the CinemaScope logo.

* 1977-1981; 1993?: This variant is drawn differently. Parts of the logo, like the left spotlight for example, have changed to a more cartoony look. The coloring in this logo also feels more cartoony. This logo would also be used as the base for the 20th Century Fox Records logo. Otherwise, it has a similar appearance to the previous logo. | |||
*(December 17, 1977-March 4, 1978: The logo has a slightly different appearance. There are now only four spotlights in the logo with only one rear spotlight. The left spotlight's beam is slightly tilted, and furthermore, there is an extra spotlight on the far right side of the screen which has the same appearance as the front left spotlight, but the only difference is that it's mounted on a different base. | |||
**Furthermore, the ending variant contains a box around it. For its first year, the box is in black and red, and has the words, "FOR SEVENTY-SEVEN" with the words spaced out. | |||
*March 4, 1978-November 10, 1981: The logo with its standard appearance. The spotlight count has returned back to 5 and the extra spotlight on the far right side of the screen is now gone. This appeared as a secondary logo with the previous logo. | |||
*The golden structure variant of the 1977 version is mostly seen as an onscreen print logo for VHS covers. It also appears on films, but is rare. | |||
*Another rare version of the 1977 version exists, with the structure having more of a reddish, greenish, feel to it. The left spotlight beam is colored Aqua blue, The rear spotlight is colored clear blue, and the right spotlight beam is colored green. | |||
