'''Logo:''' On a stone-like background, an elliptical plate featuring the raised words "SHINTOHO PICTURES" may be seen. Below it, the same words in Japanese are projected at an angle and on a foggy backdrop. The fog intensifies, almost covering the bottom half of the screen, and the words change color from white to black.

'''Logo:''' We see a bell with vines above and to the right of it. It rings several times, swinging back and forth on an obscure backdrop. The elliptical "SHINTOHO PICTURES" logo, the Japanese words "新東宝映画" (Shintoho Pictures) set in white and angled away from the viewer, and a small copyright notice reading "COPYRIGHT MCMXL VII BY SHINTOHO PICTURES CORPORATION" are projected over the scene.

'''Logo:''' On a patterned background, the elliptical Shintoho logo and the Japanese name of the company are casting a long shadow that extends to the lower right in semi-darkness. As a light source (presumably located to the left and slightly above the logo) moves to the right, the shadow become shorter and the entire scene becomes more strongly illuminated.

'''Logo:''' The elliptical Shintoho logo and the Japanese name of the company are set in yellow on a dark red background. The scene fades out after several seconds, but fades back to another one against the same background. Two phrases, "新東宝シネスコ" ("Shintoho Cinescope", white on a gray strip made to look like a wide film projection screen) and "イーストマンカラー" ("Eastmancolor") can be seen; the scene then fades out.

'''Logo:''' We see a partially eclipsed sun with a small star and the word "新東宝" ("Shintoho") on the black circle. Below this symbol, the full Japanese name of the company can be seen.

'''Logo:''' The Shintoho sun symbol is in the upper center of the screen, with the spinning white lights behind it. Below it, the Japanese name of the company has been extended to display the full legal name "新東宝株式会社" ("Shintoho Co., Ltd."). The background is red.

'''Logo:''' The logo features Shintoho's previous logo, the word "SHINTOHO" inside an ellipse, and the full legal name of the company in Japanese below it, both in white on a red background. The logo is entirely still. The writing is illuminated from the left and therefore casts a shadow to the lower right.
