'''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.

'''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''.

'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Depends on the variant.

When the 9.5mm film format was introduced in the United Kingdom, it was rebranded as Pathéscope.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

<center>
PATHESCOPE
Presents

in a script font, which then overlaps the emblem.
 
'''Closing Variant:''' On the closing variant, the text "A PATHESCOPE FILM" is appeared on the emblem.
 
'''Technique:''' The fading in.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Silent, or the opening theme.
