'''Pathé''' is a major film production and distribution company, owning a number of cinema chains through its subsidiary [[Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont]] and television networks across Europe. It is the second oldest operating film company behind [[Gaumont]] which was established in 1895 by the four brothers Charles, Émile, Théophile and Jacques '''Pathé'''. Pathé had also purchased [[Cannon Films]] entire film library before going bankrupt in 1994.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a {{color|yellow}} line appearing, which slowly turns into a sunrise. {{color|darkblue|Dark blue}} and {{color|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 {{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.

'''Availability:''' Scarce. Seen on UK prints of films such as ''1492: Conquest of Paradise'' and ''Super Mario Bros.'' (1993), but has likely fallen to plastering with the current logo. It also appears on several VHS tapes from [[Guild Home Video|Guild]] and [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|Fox]].

*On the UK VHS and 4:3 TV broadcasts of ''Chicken Run'', the logo cuts to when we see the logo revealed. It applies to both the retail and rental versions. The DVD release have it uncut.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A lush piano, drum, choir, and string fanfare. Films such as ''Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra'' have a chicken clucking at the end.

*On both European Portuguese and Korean dubs of ''The Magic Roundabout'', the opening score has been cut to when the logo appears, mostly due to it playing a few seconds before it.

** The 1.33:1 version was most likely to appear on some anime releases in France such as ''Gunnm'' (''Battle Angel'' in the USA), ''Ghost in the Shell'' and ''Ninja Scroll''. It appears on UK VHS releases, and also the UK DVD release of ''Angry Kid'' Season 1 (Season 2 was distributed by [[2 Entertain|2 Entertain]]).

** The 2.35:1 version appeared on some UK DVD releases such as ''127 Hours'' and ''Two Brothers'', alongside the live-action ''Asterix'' movies.  

*It is also seen at the beginning of the UK releases of ''Chicken Run'', accompanied with the film's theme music; however, it does not appear on the DreamWorks print, due to the length of that logo at the start of the film (although the print version of this logo appears at the end).

*The print logo is seen on several trailers, on ''Chicken Run'' and ''The Magic Roundabout'' (also known as ''Doogal'' in the US) and also appears (in yellow) on the video game ''Asterix and Obelix Take on Caesar''. The version with the rooster is very rare, which was seen on a trailer for ''The Iron Lady''.
