'''Visuals:''' Similar to before, but the emblem is smaller and is shown on a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} space background with two versions, one with golden stripes with the various colors of the rainbow spectrum, and clear, {{color|lightblue|light blue}} stripes with the colors of the rainbow spectrum more apparent.
 
'''Variants:'''
* On films in TohoScope, "TOHO" and "SCOPE" are on the left and right sides of the circle in a huge font.
* The distribution variant reads "TOHO COMPANY LTD. DISTRIBUTION" in Japanese. The rotating stripes are much slower and slightly blurry in this variant.
 
'''Technique:''' Two glass layers were used: one showing the logo, and the other showing the lights (which were rotated).
 
'''Audio:''' None or the opening theme.
 
'''Availability:'''  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.
