Opening title variant
Kay-Bee Pictures
From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
Kay-Bee Pictures was an American film production company active from around 1912 to 1920.[1] The company was a brand name used by the New York Motion Picture Company. For most of their lifespan, their catalogue was distributed by the Triangle Film Corporation, with some in their later years under Triangle-Kay Bee.
Visuals: Same as the Keystone Studios logo. But now, instead of there being a polygon with a "K" inside it, there is now an outlined diamond with the letters "K" and "B" inside it.
Opening Titles: Same as Keystone's, except now the word "KAY-BEE" is shown instead of "KEYSTONE".
Trivia: As of now, the standalone variant of this logo is currently lost. This is due to all surviving prints of The Invaders (its first appearance) having the logo replaced with a basic end card since 1984.
Variant: Like Keystone, there is an in-credit version of the logo that features two Kay-Bee diamonds in both bottom corners of the film's text cards.
Technique: A still, printed image.
Audio: None.

In-credit variant -
Visuals: On a black background, there is an assortment of solid upside-down triangles on both sides of the screen, some of which feature a serif "T" and an oval emblem containing "KB" in the center. The largest triangles feature tragedy masks and are placed on the bottom left and right sections of the screen. In the foreground, "TRIANGLE KAY-BEE", in a stacked format, is shown on top of a giant upside-down triangle containing an inner black border patterned with equilateral solid triangles and the "T" from the side-triangles in the center, alongside the "KB" oval also featured in said objects.
Trivia: The logo in this is actually a modified version of the Triangle Film Corporation logo during this time period.
Variant: On all the films the logo was used on, there is an in-credit variant of the logo where just the Triangle and KB oval are shown on either the film's title or text cards.
Technique: A still, printed image.
Audio: The closing theme of the film.
Audio Variant: At the start of any film, the opening theme of the film plays.
