## Fox Digital Studio

### (2009-2014)

Original versionAlternate version
Logo: A remake of the 20th Century Fox logo, only now it appears to be a hybrid between the 1994 and 2009 logos. The structure also now reads "**FOX DIGITAL STUDIO**". The light intro is also present, but it is different from the 1994 logo.

Trivia:

* This logo was designed and animated by Robert Holtby, using 3DS Max and Adobe After Effects and rendered with the V-Ray plugin.
* He also created an unrelated 20th Century Fox logo mock, dubbed "20th Century Rob", which uses the same design as the Fox Digital Studio logo (although slightly modified). It can be seen here.

Variants:

* The alternate version of this logo has a dark feel to it; the sky background is dark blue and the structure is colored {{{2}}} with computer mainframe textures. The light intro is also removed.
* A shortened version exists.

FX/SFX: Same as the 1994 and 2009 20th Century Fox logos.

Music/Sounds: None, the opening theme or the 1997 20th Century Fox Television fanfare.

Availability: **Seen on films and shows from the era such as *The Ropes*, *Wolfpack of Reseda*, *Let's Big Happy*, *Shotgun Wedding* and *How to Be a Man*, among others.**

Logo: A more realistic remake of the 2009-2020 20th Century Fox logo with the structure now reading "**ZERO DAY FOX**". The sky is also different and darker than usual, a la the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo. The light intro is also removed.

Trivia:

* This logo was also designed and animated by Robert Holtby within a three-week period (with one extra week for rendering), using 3DS Max and Adobe After Effects. He has a video that breaks down the logo's compositing, which can be seen here.
* If one looks closely, people, possibly tourists, can be seen behind the structure. This is not present on the normal Fox structure.
