** ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
* The logo for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' has pristine font, but behind it is the Hylian Crest and Triforce covered in foliage and moss, a reflection of the fact that this game takes place AfterTheEnd following Demise's ravaging of the surface world.
* The logo for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' features the same font as the [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda franchise]] logo but is more weathered-looking, signifying the AfterTheEnd setting. Furthermore, the logo also depicts the Master Sword lodged through the "Z" much like in the logo for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', except that it's chipped and rusting much like it is briefly in-game.

** ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' plays it straight again with its logo in the trailers and box art being mostly pristine but changed from bright white to a dark orange with lines going through the "6".

** The logos for ''VideoGame/FarCry2'', ''VideoGame/FarCry3'', and ''VideoGame/FarCry4'' are far more torn up than the original's in a reflection of their darker subject matter.
** ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' inverts this as the logo returns to a pristine form, but its narrative sequel ''VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn'' has the stars replaced with pink spray paint spelling the subtitle, and the background is the same location as ''5'''s but ruined to reflect it taking place in the post-apocalypse.

** ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' plays it straight again with its logo in the trailers and box art being mostly pristine but changed from bright white to a dark orange.

* As shown in the trope page's image, the logo for ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', which takes place after the Park has failed and the dinosaur-filled islands have been reclaimed by nature, is a weathered 3D version of the ''Film/JurassicPark'' logo. The franchise pulled the same trick with the ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' logo in relation to the ''Film/JurassicWorld'' logo, this time being rock breaking apart to mirror the eruption of Mt. Sibo.

* ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'': In promotional material, the Bat logo starts off pristine for ''Film/BatmanBegins'', gets pieces flaking off for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', and becomes surrounded by cracks for ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.

* ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' is set ten years after the [[VideoGame/BioShock original]]. The sequel's logo is significantly more corroded and even encrusted with barnacles, indicating how badly [[UnderwaterCity Rapture]] has decayed between the two games.

* All of the logos in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' look pretty weathered, but the bat symbol for ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' can be seen clearly, while ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'''s is partially obscured by shadow, and by ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' is almost pitch black and wreathed in fire.

* Similar to the above, the opening logos for ''Film/ItChapterTwo'' are this compared to the first chapter. Here, the [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Pictures]] and Creator/NewLineCinema logos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmEbW13mLEY are completely grungy and rusty, and are illuminated by the Deadlights while both logos are set in a background consissting of nothing but pitch-black darkness]].

* ''Disney/Frozen2'': Compared to how [[Disney/{{Frozen}} the first movie]]'s logo is, well, frozen, the sequel's logo is halfway thawed.

* The Creator/WarnerBros shield at the beginning of each ''Film/HarryPotter'' movie becomes {{Darker and|Edgier}} [[SceneryGorn Rustier]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JVXQSsR-1Y as the series progresses]], as does the title logo itself. The accompanying music is "Hedwig's Theme", the BootstrappedTheme for the ''Harry Potter'' films, becoming each time more sinister too.

* As shown in the trope page's image, the logo for ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', which takes place after the Park has failed and the dinosaur-filled islands have been reclaimed by nature, is basically a crumbling version of the ''Film/JurassicPark'' logo. The franchise pulled the same trick with the ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' logo in relation to the ''Film/JurassicWorld'' logo.

* The title image for ''Film/IronMan3'' in the trailer is a sparking, incomplete, and generally broken-looking version of the ''Film/IronMan2'' logo.
* The logo for ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' is a disintegrating version of the classic [[Franchise/TheAvengers Avengers]] logo.

* Compare the logo for one of the [[https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/8/87790/2179498-box_soac.png earlier games]] in the ''Spec Ops'' series to that from the most [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0oICsGoSojY/maxresdefault.jpg recent installment]], ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine''. This is an early clue to the nature of the game's [[DarkerAndEdgier underlying tone]].
