20^th Century Fox

The iconic 20^th century fox studio logo is a very popular symbol in pop culture as many movies have been produced by this massive corporation. This Logo is widely recognised by its golden ‘20^th century fox’ name and a vibrant background. It has a crisp and clean look, it isn’t too detailed to the point where it is harder to distinguish but it is not too simple. The studio logo will have slightly different versions of this logo for the different genres of movies which is the same for other studios.
