In the opening credits of 2oth Century Fox films, there is a picture of a giant structure, carved into the image of the words “20th Century Fox”. It is gold-colored, & surrounded by searchlights. There is a small, tower-like structure to the left of the “20th”, pointed a searchlight straight up.

I can’t find a specific answer to the OP’s questions, but it seems as though the logo was just something the artist dreamed up, not intended to depict any particular real structure.
I always thought it was a stylized art deco movie theater, hence the tops of other buildings around it. The spotlights and all are for a classic movie opening.
