Once it appears, the sun disappears, leaving a yellow rectangle surrounding the rooster, with "PATHÉ" 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 {{color|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. | ||
