Background: This is a documentary production arm of 20th Century Fox Television, Inc., established in 2001
by News Corporation. Although 20th Century Fox has produced documentaries since 1987, a unique logo wasn't used until 2001, when this production arm was formed.


(2001- )
Foxstar Productions - CLG Wiki

Nicknames: "Dark CGI Searchlights", "The Star Tower"


Logo: We see the Fox Television Studios logo. Suddenly a bolt of lightning crashes down on the logo, and when the light clears the logo has
changed: the sky has cleared again, and we see the Fox structure with a giant star on top of the stack and the words:

FOXSTAR
P-R-O-D-U-C-T-I-O-N-S

in the lines below.

FX/SFX: The stormy sky, the lightning, the logo switch.

Cheesy Factor: Nice-looking CGI for the most part as with other current Fox logos, but the logo transition from Fox Television Studios to Foxstar Productions is very jarring and unprofessional.

Music/Sounds: Same as Fox Television Studios, accompanied by a lightning strike.

Availability: Seen on documentaries produced by Fox such as AMC’s Backstory and A&E’s Biography (post-2001 episodes), as well as many documentaries from The Travel Channel.

Scare Factor: Minimal to medium; the choppy transition between logos and the scary "star" structure will probably catch more than a few off-guard, especially if you’ve never seen it before.
