'''Logo''': On a blank background, we see the Daiei logo: consists of two circular outlines with a triangular cut on the bottom, as well as "映" on the top. Below is "大映株式会社製作" (A Daiei Co., Ltd. Production).
 
'''FX/SFX''': None.
 
'''Music/Sounds''': The opening theme of the movie.
 
'''Availability''': Uncommon, bordering on ultra rare. When Kadokawa has restored those old films through the facilities, such as ''Gate of Hell'', ''Floating Weeds'', ''Ugetsu'', ''Sansho the Bailiff'', ''Buddha'', or ''Rashomon'', it's currently harder to find on those films; Criterion DVD and Blu-ray and Kadokawa DVDs/Blu-ray prints are intact this logo on their bootlegs of Daiei productions. It's seen on early films from the company.
 
'''Editor's Note''': None.

'''Nickname''': "The Sun on the Sky"
 
'''Logo''': We see the logo and text from before above the clouds as the sun rises, illuminating everything. In newer films from the company, "製作" is cut from the name, rendering it as simply "Daiei Co., Ltd.".
 
'''FX/SFX''': The sun rays starting to shine. Fairly simple animation, but good for its time.
 
'''Music/Sounds''': The opening theme of the movie or none.
 
'''Availability''': Uncommon, bordering from scarce to very rare.
*Can be seen on every film (excluding early ones) produced from the company, including the famous ''Rashomon'', and ''Ju Dou''. It is also seen on later films before the defunct production company's like ''Pulse'' and Akira Kurosawa's ''Dreams''.
*Example of the 1960's and early 1970's Nagata-era titles include ''Tokyo Onigiri Musume'' (1961), ''An Actor's Revenge'' (1963), ''Typhoon Reporter'' (Fūsoku shichijūgo-mai) (1963), ''The Black Trademark'' (Kuro no shōhyō) (1963), ''The Black Parker'' (Kuro no chūshajō) (1963), ''Shibire kurage'' (The Numbness) (1970), the Gamera film series, and the Zatoichi film series.
*The Tokuma-era films that was distributed or produced by Daiei is scarce; it was seen on ''Kinkanshoku'' (1975), ''Kimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare'' (1976), and ''Gamera: Super Monster'' (1980).
*This was seen on some current prints of films that plastered the 1st logo, including ''Rashomon'' (1950), and ''The Loyal 47 Ronin'' (1958).
