Logo
The original Fox Digital Studio logo was created in 2007 by UK-based motion graphics and 3D artist Robert Holtby.[5] As of 2013 Holtby updated the logo to reflect the new Fox Digital Studio rebranding, as "Zero Day Fox" and to move it more in line with the other 20th Century Fox logos created by Blue Sky Studios.
The current 20th Digital Studio logo was made in line with 20th Television's logo,[6] following Disney's removal of the "Fox" brand from the 21st Century Fox assets acquired in 2019 to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation.
