Typography: A modified Proxima Nova Black. Launched: February 3, 2020 On January 17th, 2020, it was announced that 20th Century Fox would change its name to 20th Century Studios, following Disney's purchase of the company's assets the year prior and likely to avoid confusion with the separate Fox Corporation. The opening design is very similar to the 2016 enhanced version of the 2009 TCF logo, which remained the same, except for the word “Fox” being replaced with the word "Studios", among the changes. The textures were also revised, giving the structure a more shiny look, the sky backdrop having a different design, and the Los Angeles landscape has more details than the last logo. It was created by Picturemill, in collaboration with Blue Sky Studios. This new version was showcased on a TV spot of The Call of the Wild and debuted on said film on February 21, 2020. It is also used as the on-screen logo for 20th Century Studios' home media releases.
