1st Logo (October 29, 1904)

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.

_(From_-_La_vie_de_Mo%C3%AFse).png)
Logo: On a black background, an eagle is seen carrying a film camera with the text
DE LA Cie DES CINEMATOPGRAPHES

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.

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)
_(From_-_The_Red_Spectre).png)
_(From_-_The_Magic_Roses).png)
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.
