I dunno, I kinda see them choosing the Star name, like the Latin American feed.

It would make sense with that being the brand name Disney+ will be using for 20th Century Fox content.

I don’t think they have any plans to get rid of the FX brand in the States (not yet, anyway) so it’s quite possible, actually!


After all, the Fox brand wasn't a part of Disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox, but FX was.
Also, Disney is doubling down on the FX brand, by adding the FX logo to the logos of the upcoming FX originals (similar to what Disney has been doing for ages and to what they've started doing with National Geographic content since the launch of Disney+, which has a Nat Geo hub)

Pretty sure the ident plays before the FX shows on BBC2 (although after the BBC drama ident)

Yeah, it's basically like the frontcaps that ITV used to use until the 80s. They're back in fashion!
