1st Logo (October 29, 1904)

Logo: On a black background, we see the text arched over the horse holding a flag with the rooster inside the circle reading:

CONSORTIUM DES GRANDES MARQUES CINEMATOPGRAPHIQUES

Below the horse, we see "Pathé Frères" in a corporate font with the word "CONCESSIONNAIRES" below.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare/near extinction. It was so far only seen on The Impossible Voyage.

Legacy: Perhaps the earliest known on-screen logo on this wiki.

2nd Logo (1905)

Logo: On a black background, an eagle is seen carrying a film camera with the text

FILM
DE LA Cie DES CINEMATOPGRAPHES
TH.PATHE

above. Note how the letters "ie" in "Cie" are a lot smaller and above two lines. Underneath it all is the text "MARQUE DÉPOSÉE" within a rectangular shape with two circles on both sides.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Near extinction. It was seen on La vie de Moïse.

3rd Logo (September 30, 1905-1912)

Logo: Simply a photo of a rooster within a thin circle.

Variants:

An early version has the rooster in a silhouette.
In some instances, the rooster is facing the left.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Was used in tandem with the next logo, although this one was used on fewer films such as Trees and Tredent.

4th Logo (December 9, 1905-1915)

Logo: On a black (or grey/worn-out black) background, we see 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:

There are a lot of colored variants, going from gold to sepia and even 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.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Silent, or sometimes may have featured the accompanying score.

Availability: Very rare. Can be seen on earlier films from Pathé.

5th Logo (December 1906-1907)

Logo: The cursive word "Pathé" with an underline underneath the last three letters are above the stacked text reading "THE END".

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is in a different cursive-like font with "fréres" added and it taking up most of the screen. Additionally, "EDITEURS" is added below.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None or an accompanying score.

Availability: Like with the 2nd logo, it was used in tandem with the previous logo but used on a small amount of films. They include The Red Spectre and The Magic Roses.
