** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'':
*** The small arches leading to Tiny Kong's racing mission in Frantic Factory have Rareware's golden R in the middle of them.
*** The secret 201st Golden Banana, hidden in a room next to the Banana Fairy Queen's throne room, has a Rareware sticker on it. (The other 200 Golden Bananas spread throughout the game instead have stickers with the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 logo on them.)
*** Two major collectibles that are required to reach the FinalBoss are the Nintendo Coin, which has the [=N64=] logo on it, and the Rareware Coin, emblazoned with the company's golden "R" logo (unlike the Rareware Golden Banana, it doesn't have the blue box surrounding it). Both items are hidden in {{Embedded Precursor}}s of games made by the companies earlier; Nintendo's is rewarded for completing round 2 of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'', while Rare's randomly spawns as a pickup when you earn 5000 or more points in ''VideoGame/{{Jetpac}}'', a game made by Rare back when they were known as Ultimate Play The Game.

** A recurring EasterEgg throughout the series is the [[https://wikirby.com/wiki/HAL_Room HAL Room]], so named because it contains those three letters built into the room itself.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall'':
** The first game has a stage that's the logo of Creator/{{Sega}}, laid out horizontally so that your monkey rolls around on the "front" of the letters.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': "Blagsnarst: A Love Story", the final episode to air on Creator/{{Fox}} Network before the show moved to TBS, ends with Stan reading aloud from a book labelled "''American Dad!'' on Fox" and then putting the book on a shelf once he's finished.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' centers around various animated characters who are employed by Creator/WarnerBros and work on their movie lot, but none moreso than Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, who regularly introduce themselves as the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister).
* ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' has multiple references to Hulu, where the series is streamed.
* Even putting its numerous fourth wall breaks aside, ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' often references its host service Creator/{{Netflix}}. Sometimes it's in a positive context (like in "Pillow Talk," when Nick sobs over his parents grounding him from watching Netflix), sometimes it's [[BitingTheHandHumor more negative]] (like in "How To Have an Orgasm" when Maury makes fun of the ''Series/ThirteenReasonsWhy'' backlash), and sometimes it's a mix of both (Nick gushing about Netflix to Gina in the Season 2 trailer, only for the scene to cut out when he offers to share his password).
* In the final episode of the Netflix show ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', a newspaper cover is briefly shown reviewing a show on "Nextflix" that has "too many giraffe jokes." May also double as SelfDeprecation about ''[=BoJack=]'' frequently using animal puns for comedy.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' episode "Gazpacho Stands Up", Creator/CartoonNetwork's channel logo [[NinjaProp is acknowledged in-universe]] when Gazpacho wipes Chowder's handwriting [[BreakingTheFourthWall off the screen]]. Chowder asks if he can get the logo off of the screen too, only for Gazpacho to [[https://chowder.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Down_the_Fourth_Wall?file=Gazpacho_cn_logo.png point at it]] and say that it doesn't come off; the channel's at-the-time logo was actually drawn into the scene for this joke.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Frequent references are made to the network the show used to air on, Fox, with the characters mentioning Fox's influence on the show and even having Fox executives and employees occasionally make appearances in the series. One such example, used as a TakeThat, is Peter bringing up Fox canceling their show before [[LongList rattling off a list of nearly three dozen other shows]] that Fox Network ran and also canceled before [[UnCanceled un-canceling]] ''Family Guy''.
* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': A minor RunningGag is that whenever conglomerates are mentioned, a small business sign is displayed with the line "An AOL Time Warner Co".
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': One of the franchise's hallmarks is that [[NoFourthWall the characters know what studio they work for]].
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Reptar is seen destroying a building labeled [[Creator/ViacomCBS Viacom]], the company who made ''Rugrats''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' pokes fun at the FOX network [[https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Media_in_The_Simpsons#FOX fairly frequently]], with examples such as Homer having an OhCrap reaction after accidentally investing in FOX's stocks, or Krusty saying that they're "known for taking chances on crap!". One of the more innocuous jokes involves the family living in the outlands and watching a literal fox sleeping on a rock.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III", the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances is introduced as "a subsidiary of Viacom"; [[Creator/ViacomCBS Viacom]] being the company that owns Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Steven and Greg stop by the animation studio in Korea where the show is made.

Logos are the most common form of this, though other forms, such as direct namedrops and [[SignificantMonogram initialisms]], exist too.
Subtrope to TheCameo. Compare with CreatorCameo; this trope encompasses a company at large, while that trope highlights particular people. The two can possibly overlap, though (such as a game having a DevelopersRoom based on the company itself which contains appearances from people who worked on it). See also CompanyCrossReferences, which are nods to other works that are produced or owned by the same studio or one that they work under, and ConsoleCameo, where a game references the hardware that it's on.

* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'': In the Empire mission "Rage of the Black Tortoise," the headquarter of EA Los Angeles, the development team of the game, is stationed close to the Empire base.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Shippening" is about Sarah finding a magic notebook that makes any stories written into it become a reality, and using it to ship everyone in Elmore with each other. Said notebook has the logo of the show's production company and broadcast channel, Creator/CartoonNetwork, on the front cover in gold, implying it's used to write episodes of the show.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': "Blagsnarst: A Love Story", the final episode to air on Creator/{{Fox}} Network before the show moved to TBS, ends with Stan reading aloud from a book labelled "''American Dad!'' on Fox" and then putting the book on a shelf once he's finished.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' centers around various animated characters who are employed by Creator/WarnerBros and work on their movie lot, but none moreso than Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, who regularly introduce themselves as the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister).
* ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' has multiple references to Hulu, where the series is streamed.
* Even putting its numerous fourth wall breaks aside, ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' often references its host service Creator/{{Netflix}}. Sometimes it's in a positive context (like in "Pillow Talk," when Nick sobs over his parents grounding him from watching Netflix), sometimes it's [[BitingTheHandHumor more negative]] (like in "How To Have an Orgasm" when Maury makes fun of the ''Series/ThirteenReasonsWhy'' backlash), and sometimes it's a mix of both (Nick gushing about Netflix to Gina in the Season 2 trailer, only for the scene to cut out when he offers to share his password).
* In the final episode of the Netflix show ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', a newspaper cover is briefly shown reviewing a show on "Nextflix" that has "too many giraffe jokes." May also double as SelfDeprecation about ''[=BoJack=]'' frequently using animal puns for comedy.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' episode "Gazpacho Stands Up", Creator/CartoonNetwork's channel logo [[NinjaProp is acknowledged in-universe]] when Gazpacho wipes Chowder's handwriting [[BreakingTheFourthWall off the screen]]. Chowder asks if he can get the logo off of the screen too, only for Gazpacho to [[https://chowder.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Down_the_Fourth_Wall?file=Gazpacho_cn_logo.png point at it]] and say that it doesn't come off; the channel's at-the-time logo was actually drawn into the scene for this joke.
* ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'': In the MusicalEpisode "In the Key of the Creek", during the song "The Creek is Everywhere", one of the real-life photos that flashes by in the background is one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's headquarters in Burbank.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Frequent references are made to the network the show used to air on, Fox, with the characters mentioning Fox's influence on the show and even having Fox executives and employees occasionally make appearances in the series. One such example, used as a TakeThat, is Peter bringing up Fox canceling their show before [[LongList rattling off a list of nearly three dozen other shows]] that Fox Network ran and also canceled before [[UnCanceled un-canceling]] ''Family Guy''.
* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': A minor RunningGag is that whenever conglomerates are mentioned, a small business sign is displayed with the line "An AOL Time Warner Co".
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': One of the franchise's hallmarks is that [[NoFourthWall the characters know what studio they work for]].
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Reptar is seen destroying a building labeled [[Creator/ViacomCBS Viacom]], the company who made ''Rugrats''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' pokes fun at the FOX network [[https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Media_in_The_Simpsons#FOX fairly frequently]], with examples such as Homer having an OhCrap reaction after accidentally investing in FOX's stocks, or Krusty saying that they're "known for taking chances on crap!". One of the more innocuous jokes involves the family living in the outlands and watching a literal fox sleeping on a rock.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III", the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances is introduced as "a subsidiary of Viacom"; [[Creator/ViacomCBS Viacom]] being the company that owns Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Steven and Greg stop by the animation studio in Korea where the show is made.
