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

3rd 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.
