'''Nicknames</u>: "The Circle II", "Shining Circle" | |||
'''Logo</u>: On a space blue background with multicolored lines, with a shining center. On the center, we see a white circle with the kanji "東宝" arranged vertically, which means "TOHO". Under the circle, we see yellow kanji that reads "東宝株式会社", which means "TOHO COMPANY, LTD". | |||
'''Variants</u>: The logo has changed through the years. Here, we can see the differences: | |||
* 1950-1955: The logo is closer to the screen and in black and white. The Kanji wipes in below the logo instead of already being there. | * 1950-1955: The logo is closer to the screen and in black and white. The Kanji wipes in below the logo instead of already being there. | ||

'''Trivia</u>: This is possibly the longest-running logo ever, as it debuted in 1950 and is still used to this day; a whopping 70 years! | |||
'''FX/SFX</u>: The stripes rotating and shining. Very nice practical effects for its time, although it did improve over the years. | |||
'''Music/Sounds</u>: Usually silent or the opening theme of the film. | |||
'''Availability</u>: Can be seen many titles produced by Toho, such as popular ones like ''Godzilla'', ''Black Dog'', ''Last Song'', and ''Super Godzilla'' to name a few. It can also be seen on several anime productions such as the ''Doraemon'' and ''Crayon Shin-Chan'' films, ''Metropolis'', ''Akira'', ''Macross: Do You Remember Love?'' and the Japanese (and later English-dubbed) releases of ''Pokémon'' films, among others. It can also be seen on ''Koneko Monogatari'' (1986), which was reedited and redubbed outside of Japan as ''The Adventures of Milo and Otis'' (a Columbia Pictures release). Additionally, it can be found on Japanese prints of Studio Ghibli films starting with ''Only Yesterday''. The 1950s color version makes a surprise appearance on the 2016 movie ''Shin Godzilla'', after the 2000s version. This appears on the Sci-Fi Channel's print of ''Vampire Hunter D''; strangely, it's omitted on Streamline's releases of the same. | |||
'''Editor's Note</u>: This logo is a favorite among anime and tokusatsu fans. | |||
