*A prototype version of this logo exists in which the sky background is different, and the camera starts at the default angle before zooming past the structure into the sky. 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).

*Another prototype version exists in which the rear searchlights animate differently and the front-right searchlight leans further left. Also, the Hollywood sign is located directly behind the structure, and the Hollywood hills behind the cityscape look different. The byline also fades in late. This version appeared on a demo reel from Flip Your Lid Animation.

*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). On Disney+/4K prints, both the News Corporation byline and registered trademark symbol are removed from the Fox logo, and the Lucasfilm logo is replaced with its 2015 revision.

It was also found on a later Flip Your Lid demo reel and at the end of the aforementioned ''20th Century Fox: The First 50 Years''.

*On some prints of ''Speed'' and the first two ''Die Hard'' films, the 1981-1994 fanfare is heard due to plastering the 4th logo. Other prints may use the 1994 or 1997 fanfares.

*On ''Anastasia'' (the 1997 fanfare's debut film), ''Ever After: A Cinderella Story'', some dubs of ''X2: X-Men United'', and ''Joy Ride 3: Roadkill'', the fanfare has a different arrangement than the one that's currently used. This was also conducted by David Newman.

*On Asian Blu-ray releases of ''Robots'', if the Mainland Chinese 2.0 track is selected, the logo (and the rest of the film) is in PAL-pitch despite being presented in its original film frame rate (notice the audio stuttering from the time stretch used). This is possibly due to it being sourced from TV broadcasts of the film when shown in China, since PAL is the country's video standard there.

*This logo was once removed from digital prints of ''Star Wars Episodes I-III'', ''V'' and ''VI'', and replaced with the fanfare in the Lucasfilm logo with a custom ''Star Wars'' theme, likely due to Disney's ownership of the franchise since 2012. However, following Disney's purchase of Fox, recent Disney+ and 2020 digital and home video prints have the Fox logo restored (excluding the registered trademark symbol and News Corporation byline), and may also appear on TV airings in the future, besides TNT. It also makes an appearance on the post-Disney+ DCPs (Digital Cinema Packages) of the first six ''Star Wars'' films, so much so that it even showed up at the start of the 2024 25th anniversary limited theatrical re-release of ''The Phantom Menace''.
