Fuzzy Door Productions, Inc., or credited as Fuzzy Door on-screen since 2019, is an American film and television production company founded by Seth MacFarlane on July 31, 1998. The company's productions include the animated sitcoms Family Guy and American Dad!, the Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show, the live-action sitcom The Winner, the science documentary series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, and the sci-fi comedy drama series The Orville. Established as part of 20th Century Studios, the company signed a deal with NBCUniversal in 2020, subsequently basing its headquarters at Universal City Studios in Universal City, and naming Erica Huggins as its president that same year.
MacFarlane's animated series, Family Guy and American Dad!, have been produced at 20th Television Animation, while his live-action series, The Orville, was filmed at the studio's Universal City headquarters and in Westlake, California.
The name of the company comes from the leopard-printed fake fur-covered door to the house MacFarlane lived in when he attended Rhode Island School of Design as an undergraduate in animation. The house itself also went by the nickname the Fuzzy Door during MacFarlane's residence and was the location of many "Fuzzy Door" parties. The company's logo was designed by Cory Brookes, a friend and housemate of MacFarlane's at the Fuzzy Door residence. The logo was updated in 2019, featuring a more abstract design of the door and no longer featuring the leopard fur-pattern design, instead it is colored in a plain white door with a blue background, or vice-versa colors. In 2020, the new logo was enhanced, featuring the door animating open and the text irising in as it does so, over a background that has a darker shade of blue.
