MacFarlane's animated series, Family Guy and American Dad!, have been produced at 20th Television Animation, while his live-action series, The Orville, is filmed at the studio's Universal City headquarters and in Westlake, California.^[6]

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.
