===1918–1919===

===1930–1940===
A previous belief was that the symbol on the middle-left is the logo for Pathé-Gaumont-Metro-Actualités, which was a joint venture between Pathé, Gaumont, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This has been proven false, as it was now attributed to their Gaumont-Franco Film-Aubert joint venture. The bird and globe represent Etablissements Louis Aubert, and the man holding a filmreel represents Franco Film.
===1940–1944===
===1943–1970===
This logo also appeared as an animation.
===1944–1945===
===1945–1947===

This wasn't used on-screen until 1979.

A yellow version exists seen on the 1983 Italian film, Lontano Da Dove and the logo's text was redesigned from the 1910 logo.
