1st Logo (domestic) (1948-1956, 2001)
Warner-Pathe News (1950s, A)Warner-Pathe News (1950s, B)Warner-Pathe News (1950s, C)
Logo: On a cloudy background we see the WB shield from the era zooming up to the viewer. The inner contents of the shield fade away to a rotating globe with the Pathé rooster in front of it sitting on a weathervane-like perch. The rooster looks around, flaps his wings and crows as the text "WARNER PATHÉ NEWS" fades in front of everything with a copyright notice below. The logo is encased in a cloud outline.
Variant: A closing variant replaced the text with "THE END" and a miniature WB shield on the bottom left and an IATSE union bug on the bottom right.
FX/SFX: The shield zooming, the rooster.
Music/Sounds: A bombastic brass fanfare (composed by Stanley Black) along with the crowing of the rooster, known as the "Pathé News Fanfare."
Music/Sounds Trivia:
- The fanfare heard here was later made into a stock music track in the KPM library, complete with rooster crow intact. It has appeared in a few episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show, such as in "Dog Show" and "Stimpy's Cartoon Show."
- The same rooster effect was used on the 1953 Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon, Duck Amuck, where Daffy Duck tried to talk to the animator.
Availability: Seen on most Warner-Pathé newsreels. It also made a surprise appearance on TM Books and Video's I Love Toy Trains 9 at the beginning of the fake newsreel of the 1937 version of the Lionel Trains New York Central Railroad Hudson. Also seen at the start of the UB40 music video, Kingston Town.
