Background
This was a time where Pathé was at its original name Pathé Frères. On October 6, 1927, the company simplified its name, dropping the "Frères" name to simply "Pathé".
1st Logo (March 15, 1904-September 27, 1908)
Visuals: During the last few seconds of a film, there is a magic wand with white boxes filling from bottom to top to reveal the image of the rooster facing left filled by a magic wand. After a few seconds, it cuts to the logo being scrapped.
Technique: A still, traditionally-painted graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was seen on Pathé's earliest productions such as Japanese Varieties (Japonaiseries) and Magic Bricks.
2nd Logo (October 29, 1904)
Visuals: Over a black background is the text arched over the horse holding a flag with the rooster inside the circle reading:
Below the horse is "Pathé frères" in a corporate font with the word "CONCESSIONNAIRES" below.
Technique: A still, traditionally-painted graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was so far resurfaced on The Impossible Voyage.
Legacy: It was the oldest-known standalone logo documented on this wiki.
3rd Logo (September 30, 1905-May 15, 1912)
Visuals: Simply a photo of a rooster within a thin white circle against the black background.
Variants:
- An early version has the rooster in a silhouette.
- In some instances, the rooster is facing the left.
Technique: A combination of a photography and a still, painted graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was used in tandem with the next logo, although this one was used on fewer films such as Trees and Tredent and La fée aux fleurs.
4th Logo (December 9, 1905-October 28, 1915)
Visuals: On a black (or grey/worn-out black) background, there is a still image of a rooster in white (sometimes orange) posing as if it is about to crow. Below it is the cursive text "Pathé fréres".
Variants:
- Similar with other logos at the time, the logo can be seen in different hues, whether it'd be gold, sepia, or purple.
- The design of the rooster can vary. Sometimes, it is facing the left and in one instance, its legs may be closer together. The rooster may also be seen in a lot of or less detail or in one case where it nearly looks realistic. Some films omit the rooster.
- On The Red Girl and the Child, the logo is red with the words "TRADE" on the left side of the rooster with "MARK" on the right of it.
- Sometimes, the text "Pathé fréres" is replaced by "S. C. A. G. L.", which is wrapped around the rooster.
- The Russian version of this logo exists, which was seen in the Imperial Russian release of The Funeral of Matheo the 2nd.

Technique: A still, traditionally-painted graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: It was resurfaced on La vie de Moïse.
6th Logo (December 22, 1906-July 14, 1907)

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is in a different cursive-like font with "fréres" added and taking up most of the screen. Additionally, the text "EDITEURS" is added below.
Technique: A still, traditionally-painted graphic.
Audio: The closing theme of the film.
