This was created by Richard "Doc" Baily of Image Savant for Studio Productions, and can be found on a Image Savant demo reel dated October 22, 1993, as well as on the 1997 documentary ''20th Century Fox: The First 50 Years'' (albeit in reverse). | ||

* On the "Special Edition" reissues of the ''Star Wars'' trilogy from 1997 onward, and on the ''Star Wars'' prequel trilogy, only the final shot of the finished logo is seen during the first half of the fanfare, followed by the 1996 [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] logo during the second half (much akin to the original releases of the first three films).

* | * July 12, 1994-January 30, 1998: A re-orchestration of the extended CinemaScope fanfare, conducted by Bruce Broughton in the same stage in which the original 1935 fanfare was recorded. The orchestra is three times bigger, and the fanfare has more reverberation and larger brass/string sections than other fanfares. The last release (officially) to use this fanfare was ''Great Expectations''. However, ''The Object of My Affection'' (1998), ''Wing Commander'' (1999), some prints of ''Lake Placid 2'' (2007), and German productions such as ''Krabat'' (2008) and ''John Rabe'' (2009), used this fanfare instead of the 1997 recording. An ''E! News'' story on Bruce's fanfare can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlcJKqeEE1w here]. | ||
* November 14, 1997, March 27, 1998-: A slower re-orchestration of the long TCF fanfare, as performed by the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra and conducted by David Newman, whose father Alfred Newman composed the original fanfare in 1933, as well as its extended counterpart in 1954. According to the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, this fanfare was recorded to coincide with the re-opening of the Newman Scoring Stage at the Fox Studio Lot in 1997. The first film to use this fanfare was 1997's ''Anastasia''; Fox films kept using the 1994 fanfare until January 1998. It would be used for the promo of the new Fox Movies website in 2014, which featured the different variants, along with its various versions of the logo, including this and the next, plus the William Fox variant of the 1st version of the Fox Film logo and the 20th Century Pictures logo. The drumroll is heard twice in the promo; it can be viewed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rspzzsMRl-E here]. | |||
