'''Availability:''' Very rare. Most surviving prints of their output have this removed or plastered over with the 11th logo (an example of this is on the Olive Films DVD & Blu-ray of the 1959 French version of ''Les Misérables''). May still be intact on French films released by The Criterion Collection, Fox Lorber, and Koch Media, among other specialty/art film labels. Was also seen on UK and French prints of Hal Roach's ''Laurel and Hardy'' comedies. This was found intact on Pathegrams News Digests. Also seen on ''Van Beuren'' cartoons from 1929-1930 (most YouTubers remove the Pathé logo, but some kept them, particulary [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC91Xc99QjNk-ywL6U8oDyXg/videos Motion Pictures]). | '''Availability:''' Very rare.

'''Logo:''' We see the front of a skyscraper at dusk. A black square with a picture of a rooster is in the middle of the building. The large text "PATHE" is beneath the square while a marquee with the text "PICTURES LTD" beneath "PATHE". The camera then pans down to reveal that the text is part of a building awning with "PRESENTS" encased in a rectangle. | '''Logo:''' We see the front of a skyscraper at dusk.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a yellow line appearing, which slowly turns into a sunrise. Dark blue and red streaks come from the bottom of the sun, forming a rooster. Once it appears, the sun disappears, leaving a yellow rectangle surrounding the rooster, with "PATHE" written under it, and a small yellow line. After a few seconds, the rectangle flips over vertically, turning into a star, and zooms out. A blue oval-shaped ball appears. Four white stars appear from the top of it, surrounding the ball, while the yellow star floats on top of the ball. The text "une société de" appears on the top of the logo, while "CHARGEURS" appears below it. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a yellow line appearing, which slowly turns into a sunrise.
