Nicknames: "Tower of Tepidity", "CGI Searchlights", "Zooming Tower"

Logo: We see a close-up of the familiar Fox structure, but now it's in CGI and reads "20th TELEVISION", with the line below that (that would normally be reserved for "FOX") replaced by a simple golden square. The logo zooms out to the familiar Fox logo distance. In the logo's early years, the zoom-out appeared to be slower.

Opening Variant: On the opening variant, the logo is the same, only the zoom-out is very slow and choppy, and it's completely silent.

Variant: On TBS's split-screen credits of "Yes, Dear", the logo appears as usual without animation during the TBS "(SERIES NAME HERE) Starts Right Now!" bumper, even with vanity cards.

Byline: "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY" began appearing below the logo in 1994.

FX: The logo zooming out. However, on TBS's reruns of "Yes, Dear" with split-screen credits, there is no animation at ALL.

Music:
  • 1992-1995: The remasterized 1988 jingle.
  • 1995-: The re-arranged and re-recorded variant of the 1988 jingle by Bruce Broughton.
  • 1997-: A re-arranged and a re-recorded warp speed variant of the 1961 jingle.

Music Variations:
  • There was a low tone of the remastered 1988 theme from 1992-1995 on reruns of Dynasty
  • On post-2002 reruns of Cops, the 1995 20th Century Fox Television theme was used.

Availability: Plastered onto most every show Fox distributes, even classic shows. Also, the opening variant is very rare, being seen only on the movie An Unmarried Woman (1978).

Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
  • 1992-1995: None.
  • 1995-: Low.
  • 1997-: Low to medium.
  • Low for the opening variant.
