*In the logo's early years (before the use of the byline), the zoom out appeared slower and the opening shot was much closer to the structure. In 2008, the 20th TV logo was given a more "enhanced" look with more realistic effects, just like its network television counterpart. However, some Adult Swim and TBS airings of ''Family Guy'' S7-10 episodes use the 1992 logo with the byline and the 1995 fanfare. | *In the logo's early years (before the use of the byline), the zoom out appeared slower and the opening shot was much closer to the structure. | ||

*A slightly longer version of the 1994 logo, where the two searchlights to the right (behind the structure) touch each other and the front right searchlight leans toward the left, exists. | *A slightly longer version of the 1994 logo, where the two searchlights to the right (behind the structure) touch each other and the front right searchlight leans toward the left, exists. | ||
*Four variants of the 2008 logo exist: a short version where the byline fades in during the zoom out and the first few notes of the jingle are heard; a normal version; a slightly longer version (as described of the 1994 logo above); and a long version where the two searchlights to the right (behind the structure) touch each other, but the second searchlight goes much farther to the right, while the front right searchlight leans farther to the left. A still of the 1994 20th Television & 1995 TCFTV logos (promotional) also show the searchlights in the same position as the long version of the 2008 logo. | *Four variants of the 2008 logo exist: a short version where the byline fades in during the zoom out and the first few notes of the jingle are heard; a normal version; a slightly longer version (as described of the 1994 logo above); and a long version where the two searchlights to the right (behind the structure) touch each other, but the second searchlight goes much farther to the right, while the front right searchlight leans farther to the left.

* On local reruns of ''South Park'', TBS's airings of ''Yes, Dear'' and the split-screen credits on Spike's airings of ''Cops'', the logo appears as usual without animation. | * On local reruns of ''South Park'', TBS's airings of ''Yes, Dear'' and the split-screen credits on Spike's airings of ''Cops'', the logo appears as usual without animation. | ||
* There is also a B&W variant of this logo for classic Fox shows and movies in B&W which appears on, inexplicably, some early episodes of ''Family Guy'' (these episodes sometimes have the logo fade out), such as "Love Thy Trophy" and "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'," on Adult Swim and TBS. A B&W variant of the 2008 logo was spotted on the film ''It Happens Every Spring'' on TCM. | * There is also a B&W variant of this logo for classic Fox shows and movies in B&W which appears on, inexplicably, some early episodes of ''Family Guy'' (these episodes sometimes have the logo fade out), such as "Love Thy Trophy" and "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'," on Adult Swim and TBS.

*An in-credit variant seen on ''Sherman Oaks'' shows the bylineless logo inside a box and animating with "DISTRIBUTED BY" appearing above. The closing theme of the show is heard. On the ultra short-lived sitcom ''Dudley'', the text "in association with" fades in and fades out below. | *An in-credit variant seen on ''Sherman Oaks'' shows the bylineless logo inside a box and animating with "DISTRIBUTED BY" appearing above.

*A still version is seen on some syndicated reruns of ''South Park''. On some shows in 2008, the 4:3 version of the 2008 20th Television logo was stretched to fill a 16:9 TV or preserved with sidebars. On season 3 of ''The Wendy Williams Show'', the widescreen version was squashed or stretched to fill a 4:3 TV. | *A still version is seen on some syndicated reruns of ''South Park''. | ||

*Since late August 2013, the logo doesn't have a byline once again. This can be seen on ''Dish Nation'', ''Divorce Court'', and syndicated prints of ''The Cleveland Show'', ''Modern Family'', and ''King of the Hill'' (plastering the 1994 20th Television logo). Strangely, the 2013-2014 season of both ''Family Feud'' and ''The Wendy Williams Show'' continued to use the byline. | *Since late August 2013, the logo doesn't have a byline once again.

*At the end of an ''X-Files'' ad on the 1995 Hong Kong Laserdiscs of the ''Star Wars Trilogy'', the slightly longer 1994 20th Television logo (after the zoom out) fades in and out (no fanfare). Sometimes, the logo will play as usual but will end in a freeze frame. This was seen on a few episodes of ''Forgive or Forget''. An airing of ''Garfield's Fun Fest'' on CN once did the same thing (extended version only). | *At the end of an ''X-Files'' ad on the 1995 Hong Kong Laserdiscs of the ''Star Wars Trilogy'', the slightly longer 1994 20th Television logo (after the zoom out) fades in and out (no fanfare). | ||
*A 4:3 variant of the 2013 logo exists at the end of most newer prints of 4:3 Fox-distributed shows, especially on Antenna TV. On syndicated reruns of ''Futurama'', the logo is changed into "{{Font color|gold|'''30th''' TELEVISION}}". | *Sometimes, the logo will play as usual but will end in a freeze frame.

*A letterbox (2.2:1 or 2.35:1) version of the 2008 logo appears at the end of some widescreen movies on TCM, including ''The Agony and the Ecstasy''. A warp-speed version also exists. | *A 4:3 variant of the 2013 logo exists at the end of most newer prints of 4:3 Fox-distributed shows, especially on Antenna TV. | ||
*On some prints, such as Spike's print of ''The Transporter 2'' and syndie prints of ''Tosh-O'', the 2008 logo fades in as well as out. The 1994 logo is cropped to matted 1.78:1 in rare cases. | *On syndicated reruns of ''Futurama'', the logo is changed into "{{Font color|gold|'''30th''' TELEVISION}}". | ||

*On some prints of ''The Simpsons'' episodes between 1992 and 1994, the 1992 logo fades in near the end of the zoom out, and then fades out a few seconds later. It's similar in a way to the 1994/5 variant with the byline, barring the fade in at the start. Channel 4's print of the episode "Homer the Heretic" features this variation. | *On some prints of ''The Simpsons'' episodes between 1992 and 1994, the 1992 logo fades in near the end of the zoom out, and then fades out a few seconds later.
