'''Legacy:''' Nothing to ride home about. The only notable thing is the fact that this was the first appearance of the iconic logo. This would be used for the rest of the company's logos.

'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on releases from this period, such as ''Rodan'', ''The Hidden Fortress'', and ''The Mysterians''. The distribution variant is much more common and is known to plaster older logos on many films, such as ''Stray Dog'' (1949) and ''Sugata Sanshiro'' (1943). The 1950s "TohoScope" color version makes a surprise appearance on the 2016 movie ''Shin Godzilla'', after the 1993 version.

'''Availability:''' Common. Should be saved on most anything made by Toho in the era.  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.'' It also plasters the 1952 logo on the 1972 PBS broadcast and 1984 Embassy Home Entertainment release of ''Seven Samurai''. It may have also appeared on the earliest Japanese prints of ''My Neighbor Totoro''.

'''Legacy:''' The logo is one of the most well-known in its home country, and although rather simplistic, is still really nice.
