They have also been involved with original titles, including "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos" and "No One Lives Forever". The company was formed on December 31, 1994.

3rd Logo
(2002-2006)
Nickname: "20th Century Fox Turning to Fox Interactive"
Logo: We see the structure that reads "20th CENTURY FOX" in the Fox logo font, already formed. Then the structure turns, revealing an orange Los Angeles and Hollywood skylines (from the 1994 20th Century Fox logo) in the distance, as a smoke in the searchlights appear. The structure changes to "FOX INTERACTIVE" in the 20th Century Fox font, in the city. When the logo was formed, there's a car on a table.
FX: The "20th Century Fox" structure changing to "Fox Interactive".
Music: Same as the 20th Century Fox music used from 1997 to today.
