'''Pathé''' is a major film production and distribution company, |
'''Pathé''' is a major film production and distribution company, that owns a number of cinema chains through its subsidiary [[Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont]] across Europe. It is the second oldest operating film company behind [[Gaumont]] which was established in September 28, 1896 by the four brothers Charles, Émile, Théophile, and Jacques '''Pathé''', and before [[Titanus]] (founded in 1904), [[Nordisk Film]] (founded in 1906), [[Universal Pictures]], [[Paramount Pictures]], and [[Nikkatsu Corporation]] (all founded in 1912). In 1942, the company was acquired by Adrien Ramauge and was later renamed to Pathé-Cinéma, while Pathé's distribution branch became [[AMLF]]. In 1990, [[Chargeurs]] purchased the Pathé-Cinéma group and resumed its film production business. AMLF was later folded into Pathé Distribution as a result. |

It was also seen on UK and French prints of Hal Roach's ''Laurel and Hardy'' comedies and Cecil B. DeMille's silent films such as ''Chicago'' and ''The Godless Girl''. 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, particularly [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC91Xc99QjNk-ywL6U8oDyXg/videos Motion Pictures]). |

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a yellow line appears and 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 "PATHÉ" written under it, and a small yellow line. After a few seconds, the rectangle flips out vertically. |
||
'''Variants:''' |
|||
'''Variant:''' The trailer variant features this logo zooming to us. |
|||
*A Pathé/[[Chargeurs]] variant exists. Here, the rectangle does not flip out. Instead, it flips vertically, turning into a star. It zooms and the formation of Chargeurs' logo begins. |
|||
*An alternate Pathé/Chargeurs Variant exists. Only that for this variant, it's the same animation as the Pathé Interactive Logo with Interactive removed from the yellow line, with the Chargeurs Logo animating like the standard Pathé/Chargeurs from the time, plus the Logo animates at a smoother frame. |
|||
*On trailers as well as UK VHS releases, the logo slowly zooms in. Also, the "PATHE" text is now dark blue with a white stroke around it. |
|||
'''Technique:''' Possibly cel animation (by Digital Pictures). |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The sunrise effect and the rooster and logo forming. |
|||
''' |
'''Audio:''' A short synthesized fanfare, followed by a dreamy synth/piano tune. Sometimes silent. |
||
'''Availability:''' |
|||
'''Availability:''' Scarce. Seen UK prints of films such as ''1492: Conquest of Paradise'', but has likely fallen to plastering with the current logo. It also appears on several VHS tapes from [[Guild Home Video (UK)|Guild]] and [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|Fox]]. |
|||
* The normal variant can be found on the original Pathé VHS release of ''Super Mario Bros.'' |
|||
* The zooming variant appears on VHS tapes released by [[20th Century Home Entertainment|Fox]] in the UK such as ''The Fifth Element'', ''Twenty Four Seven'' and ''Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery''. It may have appeared on UK theatrical releases from the time as well. |
|||
* It's unknown for what film the Alternate Pathé/Chargeurs was seen in. |

===8th Logo (July 2, 1999-)=== |

'''Visuals:''' On a grey background, there is a balloon reading "PATHÉ!" in yellow, stylized after the speech bubble variant, made into a mobile, rotating around clockwise, with the letters revolving around as well. There are two shadows of the mobile cast in the background by two spotlights. Then, the mobile stalls in its moment, only for it to rotate to its side, with a shadow of a rooster turning into view. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' There are replicas of the mobile seen in some [[Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont|Pathé cinemas]] (mostly from the Netherlands). However, they are designed differently than the logo. You can see the demonstration [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWB5sxV8tk here]. |

'''Technique:''' CGI produced by Landor Associates in Paris, France. |
||
''' |
'''Audio:''' A lush piano, drum, choir, and string fanfare. Films such as ''Astérix and Obélix: Mission Cleopatra'' have a chicken clucking at the end. |
||
'''Audio Trivia:''' Parts of the fanfare would later be sampled and remixed for the company's UK website between 2005 and 2011. |

'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' |
|||
'''Audio Variants:''' |
|||
*The shortened trailer variant uses the last several seconds of the theme. |
|||
*Sometimes, the film's opening theme would be used instead. |
|||
*On the UK DVD release of ''Chicken Run'', the fanfare is out of sync, playing before the logo animates. |
*On the UK DVD release of ''Chicken Run'', the fanfare is out of sync, playing before the logo animates. |
||
*On both European Portuguese and Korean |
*On both European Portuguese and Korean prints 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. |
||
'''Availability:''' Very common. |
|||
*This plasters older logos on current prints of their output, and other distributors tags on films Pathé now owns (an example is on the Criterion Collection release of ''Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down'', in which Pathé obtained U.S. rights from its previous owner, Miramax) |
|||
*As with the last logo, it is used as a de-facto home video logo in the UK and France. The 1.85:1 version was only seen on UK DVD releases of films from the company such as ''Millions'', ''Chicken Run'', ''The Magic Roundabout'', ''Be Kind Rewind'' as well as many foreign films such as ''Les Choristes'' (''The Chorus'') and ''菊次郎の夏'' (''Kikujiro''). 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 was however spotted on the UK DVD release of ''Angry Kid'' Season 1 (Season 2 was distributed by [[2 Entertain (UK)|2 Entertain]]). The 2.35:1 version appeared on some UK DVD releases such as ''127 Hours'' and ''Two Brothers''. It is unknown if this will appear on the French DVD release of ''Chicken Run'', considering that [[StudioCanal (France)|Studio Canal]] actually provided theatrical and home media rights to the film there. |
|||
*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 ''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''. |
|||
*It can also be seen on the 2018 Australian Umbrella Entertainment DVD release of ''Driving Miss Daisy'' (this is because Pathé has international rights to the film). |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is considered a favorite for anyone who grew up watching Pathé films on cable television, VHS tapes, and DVDs during the 2000s and 2010s. |

'''Logo:''' We see the Pathé logo with the speech bubble in {{color|yellow}} and the rooster in {{color|gray}}, embossed on a {{color|yellow}} background. The camera straightens and zooms in through the "A", where the logo then turns {{color|brown}}. A kaleidoscopic pattern is then seen, then forms to create a spiral pattern composed of rectangles. We zoom in to reveal {{color|yellow}}, {{color|gray}}, and white glowing squares fly toward us. The white glowing squares, and finally, the text "'''BONNE SÉANCE'''" comes to view, initially in glowing solid white, then turns into a bordered white and draws out. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was originally created exclusively for Les Cinemas Pathe Gaumont as an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrDQSgIhxjc intro] back in 2017, albeit with the [[Gaumont (France)|Gaumont]] logo instead. This logo was also used for a [https://vimeo.com/275982913 French promotion of ''Incredibles 2''] in French cinemas. |

'''FX/SFX:''' Extraordinary CGI. |

'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic fanfare with reversed sections. |

'''Editor's Note:''' The concept and CGI make this logo a winner. |

** The 2.35:1 version appeared on some UK DVD releases such as ''127 Hours'' and ''Two Brothers'' the 2012 re-release of ''Chicken Run'', alongside the live-action ''Astérix'' movies. |
|||
*It is also seen at the beginning of British and European releases of ''Chicken Run'', accompanied by 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). It did however appear on the French, German and Spanish Blu-ray releases and on the Netflix UK print of the film with the original fanfare intact, followed by the DreamWorks Pictures logo. The latter on the other hand has this (and the entire film) on PAL speed. |
|||
*The print logo is seen on several trailers, on ''Chicken Run'' and ''The Magic Roundabout'' (also known as ''Doogal'' in the US and several other countries), and also appears (in yellow) on the video game ''Astérix and Obélix Take on Caesar''. The version with the rooster was seen in a trailer for ''The Iron Lady''. |
|||
*It can also be seen in the 2018 Australian Umbrella Entertainment DVD release of ''Driving Miss Daisy'' (this is because Pathé has international rights to the film). |
|||
*It also appeared on the UK Blu-ray of ''Super Mario Bros.'' (1993), possibly due to using a streaming print of the film. Also on the Australian Umbrella Entertainment Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray releases of said film. |

Pathé is a major film production and distribution company, that owns a number of cinema chains through its subsidiary Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont across Europe. It is the second oldest operating film company behind Gaumont which was established in September 28, 1896 by the four brothers Charles, Émile, Théophile, and Jacques Pathé, and before Titanus (founded in 1904), Nordisk Film (founded in 1906), Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and Nikkatsu Corporation (all founded in 1912). In 1942, the company was acquired by Adrien Ramauge and was later renamed to Pathé-Cinéma, while Pathé's distribution branch became AMLF. In 1990, Chargeurs purchased the Pathé-Cinéma group and resumed its film production business. AMLF was later folded into Pathé Distribution as a result.

Visuals: Inside a white circle on a black background, there is a rooster, which seems to be standing on top of a model globe. Below is the word "Pathé", in the same style as before. The word is in white, except for the areas which overlap the circle, which are in black. The rooster crows.
Variant:
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: Just the rooster crowing. On silent films with this logo, it had the film's score over it.
Availability: Most surviving prints of their output have this removed or plastered over with the 7th logo (an example of this is on the Olive Films DVD & Blu-ray of the 1959 French version of Les Misérables). It may still be intact on French films released by The Criterion Collection, Fox Lorber, and Koch Media, among other specialty/art film labels. It was also seen on UK and French prints of Hal Roach's Laurel and Hardy comedies and Cecil B. DeMille's silent films such as Chicago and The Godless Girl. 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, particularly Motion Pictures).
Visuals: There is 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" is beneath "PATHE". The camera then pans down to reveal that the text is part of a building awning with "PRESENTS" encased in a rectangle.
Technique: Camera-controlled animation.
Audio: A horn fanfare.
Availability: Most prints of titles from this period have it removed or plastered over with the 3rd logo. Some films, such as Cosmo Jones and Crime Smasher, have kept it intact with the 7th logo following.
Visuals: On a gray background, there is a rooster inside a black circle. Beneath the rooster is "Pathe PICTURES LTD.", with "Pathé" in a large cursive font.
Technique: A painting filmed by a cameraman.
Audio: None or the opening theme of the film.
Availability: Unknown. [Examples?]
Visuals: There are the words "Un film" and a circle with a black and white picture of a rooster fade in. Then "Pathé" in large handwritten font draws itself below.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: The opening theme of the film.
Availability: Seen on the French DVD and the Criterion DVD of Les Enfants du Paradis at the start, the end of part 1, and the end of part 2. On the Criterion Blu-ray, the current Pathé ident replaces this at the start but it is seen at the end of the film since both parts 1 & 2 are combined into one.
![]() | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |
Visuals: On a worn-out black background, there is a white rectangle containing an abstract red rooster. Beneath that is the white text "PATHÉ". "TRADEMARK OF QUALITY SINCE 1896" is beneath "PATHÉ" in smaller print.
Technique: A hand-drawn graphic.
Audio: Unknown.
Availability: Unknown.
Visuals: On a black background, the text "PATHÉ PICTURES" is seen in a bold white ITC Avant Garde font, with the "TH" being semi-conjoined and the text "INC." seen on the bottom left of the text pointing up. On the upper left gap is a red rooster silhouette crowing. A few seconds later, "PRESENTS" fades in below, and then the screen fades to the program.
Variant: At the end of the program, the logo is seen superimposed on the program, as well as a copyright below.
Technique: A digital graphic.
Audio: The opening and ending themes of the film.
Availability: It was only seen on Arthur Murray Dance Lessons: Cha Cha.
Visuals: On a black background, a yellow line appears and 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 "PATHÉ" written under it, and a small yellow line. After a few seconds, the rectangle flips out vertically.
Variants:
Technique: Possibly cel animation (by Digital Pictures).
Audio: A short synthesized fanfare, followed by a dreamy synth/piano tune. Sometimes silent.
Availability:
Visuals: On a grey background, there is a balloon reading "PATHÉ!" in yellow, stylized after the speech bubble variant, made into a mobile, rotating around clockwise, with the letters revolving around as well. There are two shadows of the mobile cast in the background by two spotlights. Then, the mobile stalls in its moment, only for it to rotate to its side, with a shadow of a rooster turning into view.
Trivia: There are replicas of the mobile seen in some Pathé cinemas (mostly from the Netherlands). However, they are designed differently than the logo. You can see the demonstration here.
Variants:
Technique: CGI produced by Landor Associates in Paris, France.
Audio: A lush piano, drum, choir, and string fanfare. Films such as Astérix and Obélix: Mission Cleopatra have a chicken clucking at the end.
Audio Trivia: Parts of the fanfare would later be sampled and remixed for the company's UK website between 2005 and 2011.
