'''Variants:'''
*Similar with other logos at the time, the logo can be seen in <u>different hues</u>, whether it'd be gold, sepia, or purple.

*On <u>''The Red Girl and the Child''</u>, the logo is red with the words "TRADE" on the left side of the rooster with "MARK" on the right of it.
*Sometimes, the text "''Pathé fréres''" is replaced by "S. C. A. G. L.", which is wrapped around the rooster.
