* 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 logo was given a more "enhanced" look with more realistic effects, just like its network television counterpart. If one looks closely, parts of the "T" and "E" are perfectly straight. However, some Adult Swim and TBS airings of ''Family Guy'' S7-10 episodes use the 1992 logo with the byline and the 1995 fanfare.

* 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 (seen on season 11 of ''Family Feud'' (with Steve Harvey), season 3 of ''The Wendy Williams Show'', and some episodes of the syndicated ''Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?''); 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.

* 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.

* 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 is 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.

* On syndicated prints of ''Rising Sun'' (2011 print) and ''Speed'' (2012 print), the frame-rate/animation is fast-paced.

* Since late August 2013, the logo is bylineless 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 seasons of both ''Family Feud'' and ''The Wendy Williams Show'' continued to use the byline.

* 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 Cartoon Network once did the same thing (extended version only).

* 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.

* 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.

* 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 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.

* 1992-1995: The 1989 TCFTV logo theme.

* 1992-1995: A revamped version of the 1989 theme, without the reverberation of the 1989 theme. It would later be used for the 1995 TCFTV logo.

* 1993-1995: The remastered TCFTV 1989 jingle. It is similar to the above variation, but slightly slower in tempo.

* 1994, 1995-2008: A re-arranged and re-recorded variant of the 1989 TCFTV jingle by Bruce Broughton. This one is more reverberant than the original, but it's slightly different from the 1995 TCFTV theme, namely less [audible] drum beats. Although this theme and the theme below were first heard in 1994 on ''The X-Files'', this wasn't officially heard on this logo until 1995.

* 1994, 1995-2008: A re-orchestrated version of the above theme, with more drum beats. This would later be used for the 1995 TCFTV logo.

* 1997-May 16, 2021: The 1997 TCFTV logo theme.

* 2008-April 8, 2022: The 2005 TCFTV logo theme.

* 2008-: A short version of the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare, at a faster tempo than the actual fanfare. It sounds like an extended version of the 1995 fanfare. It's heard on shows such as reruns of ''King of the Hill''. It's also heard on the Disney+ original series ''Just Beyond''.

* 2008-: Shortened version of above. Sounds like a re-arranged version of the 1995 jingle, but not quite the 2005 TCFTV logo theme. This can be heard on TV broadcasts of ''Die Hard 2'' on AMC, as well as the ''King of the Hill'' S4 episode "Peggy's Fun Fair" on Adult Swim, as well as other syndicated shows from the company. Used in tandem with the above theme.

* September 2009-2020: There is a shortened version that plays the first few notes of the theme and the rest fades out. This version can be seen on syndicated prints of [[Revolution Studios]] movies, ''Family Feud'' from seasons 12-22, ''The Wendy Williams Show'', and ''Modern Family''.

* September 27, 2020-: The 2015 TCFTV logo theme. A warp-speed version of it also exists.

* December 21, 2020-October 25, 2021: The shortened 1997 TCFTV theme. Heard on ''American Dad!'' on TBS.

* In some cases, it uses the closing theme of the show or is silent, such as on ''Alien Nation: Body and Soul''.

* There was a low tone of the remastered 1989 theme from 1992-1995 on reruns of ''Dynasty''. A low tone version of the 1995 theme exists. This was spotted on a later French print of the pilot episode of ''Manimal''.

* On the Fox airings of ''America's Most Wanted'' (which was co-produced by 20th Television) and some post-2020 shows on other networks, a generic network theme is used.

* A version exists on 2007-2008 episodes of ''Family Guy'' that is the present day jingle, but sounds like it is played on a xylophone.

* Syndie prints of ''Family Guy'' and ''Batman (1966)'' using the '92 logo have a loud, pronounced version of the 1995 TCFTV jingle. When syndie/network prints of ''Cops'' and other shows use this jingle, it sounds normal.

* On older syndicated prints of Revolution Studios movies, the Bruce Broughton version of the TCFTV jingle sounds rather loud and is slightly cut off at the beginning. One example is the syndicated print of ''13 Going on 30'' when it aired back in January 2010.

* Since sometime in 2012, on syndicated prints of Revolution Studios movies, the sound quality of the 2008 jingle (variants of the 1997 20th Century Fox jingle) -- whether short, normal, or long -- sounds a little less crisp. One example is the 2013 syndicated print of ''Perfect Stranger''.  

* On some Fox Television Studios shows like ''The Hughleys'', this logo plasters the Fox Television Studios logo, but the Fox Television Studios jingle/sounds remain intact.

* On airings of the ''M*A*S*H'' S1 episodes "Love Story" on Hallmark Channel and "Cowboy" on DVD, on Centric's airing of ''In Living Color'' S2 episode "Anton at the Recruiter", the 1995 [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|Fox Video]] VHS release of ''The Making of Star Wars'', a later print of ''The Paper Chase'' S1 episode "The Man Who Would Be King", and a CBS Drama (UK) airing of a season 7 episode of ''Dynasty'' ("The Affair"), the 1965 TCFTV theme is heard, due to sloppy plastering. A variant with the 1965 TCFTV theme in low tone exists. This was spotted on a later French print of the second episode of ''Manimal''.

* On Me-TV's print of the ''Batman'' S2 episode "That Darn Catwoman", the 1961 TCFTV theme is heard. On 2008-2010 episodes of ''Family Feud'' and local syndicated reruns of ''Futurama'', the 1995 and 2008 themes were edited a bit, with the second half only.

* On syndicated prints of shows like ''King of the Hill'' and ''Cops'', the original 20th Television or TCFTV jingles from 1995 and 1997 may be heard during the 2008 or 2013 logos. In exceptional cases, a soundbite of the show is used.

* The syndie print of the ''How I Met Your Mother'' episode "w/Bro Code 107" shows the short version of the '08 logo but the normal-length fanfare plays during the other half of the Bays-Thomas logo. The fanfare has a [subtle] choir too.

* On airings of the ''Family Guy'' episode "He's Bla-ack!" on Adult Swim, the 2013 20th Television logo is used, yet the 1995 fanfare is heard. Usually, the 2013 TCFTV logo is used on newer episodes and other airings of said episode, with the correct fanfare.

* On the syndie print of the ''Family Guy'' episode "Chris Cross", a portion of the '08 20th Television fanfare used on the 2007 TCFTV logo can be heard when cutting to black before the SAP cast.

* On [[Channel 4 (UK)|Channel 4]] broadcasts of a small number of episodes of ''The Simpsons'' (noticeable on the episode "Last Exit to Springfield"), the audio for the 1992 fanfare fades out very quickly as the last note plays.

* On some episodes of ''Family Guy'', AMC's airings of both ''Omen IV: The Awakening'' and ''Mr. Popper's Penguins'', and CourtTV Mystery's airings of ''Sleeping With the Enemy'', the 1995 theme is heard on the 2013 logo.

* On an April 1, 2017 airing of the ''Family Guy'' episode "Road to the Multiverse" on Adult Swim, the 1997 TCFTV jingle is surprisingly glitchy, possibly as an April Fools' joke. This also happened to other AS shows on this broadcast day (e.g. ''Seinfeld'' stings, laugh track, robotic voices, pitch shifted voices, etc.).

* On the ''Simpsons'' episode "The Man from G.R.A.M.P.A.", the theme has a weird echo effect, which has the mix of the full and shorter versions.

* This was plastered onto most shows that Fox distributes, even classic shows they own, with the exception of ''The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis'' (the 1960s TCFTV logo is integrated into the closing credits with the closing theme). It even shows up on DVDs of Fox shows.

* The opening variant is only seen on some TV airings of the 1972 film ''The Poseidon Adventure'', though most airings and AMC's print of the film shows the 1994 20th Television logo at the beginning of the film.

* Strangely, it is seen after the TCFTV logo on many episodes of ''Family Guy'' and ''Futurama'' on Adult Swim and TBS, the former on Freeform as well. The enhanced version is just as common, and was seen until 2019 on ''Family Feud'', ''Divorce Court'', and ''The Wendy Williams Show'', among other current series, before the former two shows were transferred to [[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]], as well as ''King of the Hill'' reruns on Adult Swim & syndication, reruns of ''Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'' on GSN, and Netflix viewings, and the StarVista/Time Life DVDs of ''The Wonder Years'' (plastering the [[New World Entertainment|New World Television]] logo). One early sighting of the enhanced variant was Cartoon Network's airing of ''Garfield Gets Real''.

* The 1992 version of this logo also plasters the original 1981 TCFTV logo on [[Shout! Factory]]'s season 1 (1986-87) DVD release of ''L.A. Law''; it also plasters 17 of 20 episodes on the season 2 (1987-88) release (3 of them have the original TCFTV logo intact).

* Strangely, this has plastered the original 20th Century Fox logo on the trailer of ''Project X'' (the 1987 film starring Matthew Broderick) on recent home releases of the film. The enhanced logo, with News Corporation byline appears on various episodes from season 1 and 2 of the 2014 Shout! Factory complete series release of ''The Bob Newhart Show''. This plasters the 2007 TCFTV logo on ''Family Guy'' episode "Lois Comes Out of Her Shell" on Adult Swim. The earliest sighting of the extended bylineless logo was on the syndie print of ''Family Guy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s season 11 finale.

* The bylineless logo plasters the one with the byline that used to appear on syndie prints of ''Family Guy'' seasons 10 & 11 episodes. The 1995 variant makes a surprise appearance at the end of the VHS release of ''Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask'' and some seasons 1 and 4 episodes of ''It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'' on international airings.

* On current prints (digital, TV, etc...) of ''Home Alone 4'', the 2008 version plasters the [[Fox Television Studios]] logo.

* Since 20th Century Fox Television was dissolved into this company on August 10, 2020, the bylineless logo was first seen on the new seasons of the Animation Domination shows that year on Fox, the ones being ''The Simpsons'' (using the 2008 jingle), ''Bob's Burgers'' (using the 2005 TCFTV jingle), ''Family Guy'' (using the 1997 TCFTV jingle), and the second and final season of ''Bless the Harts'' (using the 2015 TCFTV jingle), replacing the 2013 TCFTV logo. It also appeared on season 2 of ''Duncanville'' and the debut season of ''The Great North'', though it is currently unknown which TCFTV themes they used. Plus, this logo now appears on new episodes of returning shows (as well as the new, upcoming and future shows) from the former 20th Century Fox Television in the 2020-2021 TV season.

* This also appears on new, upcoming and future shows produced from this company such as the 2021 reboot of ''The Wonder Years'' and ''Single Drunk Female''.

** It also appeared on shows that were originally produced by [[Touchstone Television (2020)|Fox 21 Television Studios]] such as ''American Crime Story'', ''Feud'', ''Genius'', ''The Chi'' ''Pose'', ''Mayans M.C.'', ''The Hot Zone'' and ''Ratched''.

* As of September 26, 2021, this logo no longer appears on new seasons of animated shows in favor of the 20th Television Animation logo. The final animated production to use this logo was on the ''Central Park'' Season 2 episode "The Lyin' in Winter", originally aired on April 8, 2022. Season 3 will use the new 20th Television Animation logo.

* Strangely, this did not appear on on ''Hoops'', ''Filthy Rich'' and ''NeXt'', due to all three of them being made before 20th Century Fox Television rebranded to 20th Television in 2020.

* Whenever [[Blue Sky Studios]]' movies are broadcast (a most recent sight being Freeform's premiere of ''Spies in Disguise''), this logo is seen at the very end right after the SAP cast credits.
