Fox Kids Video

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Fox Kids Video was a label of Fox Video launched in 1994 to release shows that aired on Fox Kids, such as Saban shows (Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, Goosebumps, and Digimon), Marvel Comics cartoons (X-Men and Spider-Man), some CBS-owned shows and specials (Garfield and Dr. Seuss specials), and a few CinéGroupe shows (including Space Goofs). The company was shut down by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment nearly ten years later following the dormancy of the Fox Kids label and The Walt Disney Company's purchase of Saban Entertainment (which was rebranded as BVS Entertainment).


1st Logo (1994-1997)


Visuals: Very similar to the second Fox Kids Worldwide logo, except that the text "kids video" is underneath the zigzagged line. A small byline which says "Distributed by FoxVideo" also appears below the logo. The word "fox" is also changing colors and the searchlights move in the background as well.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: This logo can be found on the 1995 U.S. VHS releases of Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?: Moondreams/Split Up and on other releases.

2nd Logo (1997-1999)

Visuals: On a gradient blue and black background is the Fox Kids logo of the time without the black base, with "FOX KIDS" in white with the word "video" below. Streaks of red, blue and yellow fly in different directions. Searchlights appear and occupy the "X" in "FOX", a yellow streak occupies the word "FOX", a red streak occupies the word "KIDS" and a blue streak occupies the word "video". All other streaks go away and the black base finally appears to complete the Fox Kids logo.

Technique: Computerized 2D animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: This logo be found on U.S. VHS releases of CBS-owned and/or Fox Kids-aired shows of the time, such as Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, Marvel cartoons like Spider-Man and Iron Man, Where's Waldo/Wally, Eek! The Cat, The Tick, Bobby's World, Life With Louie, and Garfield and Friends, among others.

  • It can also be found on 1997 reprints of DePatie-Freleng/Dr. Seuss TV specials.

3rd Logo (2000-August 30, 2004)


Visuals: On a light blue background is a 3D version of the Fox Kids logo used at the time, consisting of the words "FOXKIDS" (all letters colored red except the "X" (which is 2 searchlights crossing, referencing the searchlights in the 20th Century Fox logo), which is yellow). The letters are on a black base. A TM symbol is on the bottom right side of the logo.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: This logo was first spotted on a few Power Rangers and Digimon VHS and DVD releases during 2000 to 2001.

  • It can also be found on the first two waves of the Maximum Entertainment Fox Kids/Jetix Best Sellers lineup that were released in the UK and Ireland, such as the first two volumes of Inspector Gadget and the first volume of Heathcliff.
  • The Wave 2 releases also pair this with the Jetix logo.
