The Logo Corner - Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (Episode 1)
- 9 years ago
Reuploading on Dailymotion because Fox seems to have issues with disputing fair use claims on YouTube.
MAJOR CORRECTION:
The fourth variant of the CGI is Variant IV (1994-2009). The dates and Roman numeral is wrong. All apologies.
Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Logo Corner! In this episode I go into extreme detail about the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation logo and discuss its intricate history. The roots of the logo can be traced to two companies, which I will discuss in this video.
There are also many sub-variants of the logo that I did not bother to outline (for instance, in the 2010s versions of the logo, there are times where the phrase "A News Corporation Company" is etched in the foundation of the statue, whereas on other occasions it is not), and there is also the CinemaScope 55 and Grandeur 70 versions of the widescreen logo. However, I believe covering the major variants would be more relevant to the video. You all can look up these minor variants in the links below.
If you think I did not outline a specific and important 20th Century Fox variant, let me know in the comments. I wish to make this series as informative and comprehensive as possible, so feel free to tell me what is good and what is not so good about the video.
In addition, if you look closely at later versions of the logo, you can see the "Hollywood" sign in the background. Another Easter egg for your visual pleasure!
Thanks for your interest and attention, and I hope to catch you all in later installments of the series. I'll see you all on the brighter later. Thank you for watching and please comment.
