7* Creator/AardmanAnimations:
8** ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep: The Movie'' has the Aardman logo painted on the sheep.
9** ''Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon'' has the logo light up as Shaun plays notes on a keyboard, in reference to ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''.
10* ''WesternAnimation/EscapeFromPlanetEarth''. On the onset, The Weinstein Company's logo appears, if only for a brief moment, before it bleeds into the lights of a UFO that carries the whole sigil away with it.
11* ''WesternAnimation/{{Logorama}}'' is a short feature revolving around a world filled/populated with corporate logos, intended to parody corporate brands and their effect on society. It features company logos of all kinds, with film logos having an appearance too:
12** A zoo has the MGM lion and the Paramount mountain logo as a rabbit warren
13** When a waitress drops a drink, the orange splash stain is the Nickelodeon logo.
14** The Disney castle is floating in the water in the aftermath of an earthquake.
15** The last scene is an AstronomicZoom out which reveals the world is the Universal logo Earth, and in the distance is the Orion Pictures logo as a constellation.
16* The animated film ''WesternAnimation/TheRedTurtle'' has the Studio Ghibli logo (traditionally blue in color) shaded red, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0jkYkDYmpY here]]. Also counts as a SpecialEditionTitle. The red Studio Ghibli logo was also previously used a couple of years prior in the live action prequel short to ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'', ''Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo'', which is fitting for the film's [[DarkerAndEdgier bleaker tone]].

20* In the Lakeshore Entertainment title card for ''Film/Underworld2003'', the logo is tinted blood red.
21* In ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'', THX: The Audience Is Now Listening is replaced with [[StonerFlick THC: The Audience Is Now Baking.]]
22* ''Film/BeKindRewind'': For British distribution by Creator/{{Pathe}}, its logo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqKdsajKTnw got]] [[StylisticSuck sweded]]. (Compare with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9jBA-tZ7tU the real deal]].)
23* Creator/StudioCanal:
24** ''Film/AttackTheBlock'' has an all-black version of the Studio Canal logo (complete with unusually black clouds), to match the colors of the film's aliens.
25** ''Film/{{Irreversible}}'' has ominous red clouds, to match the colors of the film's [[BackToFront closing (uhhh, "opening" if you want) credits]] and the N in the logo is backwards (reverse letters are also the case with the Mars Distribution logo in the French print), to match the typography of the film's logo.
26* The 1971 film ''The Christian Licorice Store'' doesn't have the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAhXx4Jpjeg Cinema Center Films logo]] (or indeed the title of the film) until about 15 minutes in when a character starts running a film on a home projector and the logo (and title) come up on screen. On the screen in the film, that is.
27* ''Take Me Home Tonight'', set in 1988, opens with the 1980s version of the [[Creator/RonHoward Imagine Entertainment]] logo (which is technically inaccurate, as the Imagine logo usually appeared at the ''end'' of their movies at the time).
28* Yash Raj Films
29** The Indian romantic film ''Chandni'' has the Yash Raj Films logo colored silver-blue, the color of moonlight ("chandni").
30** The next Yash Raj Film, ''Lamhe'', has the logo appear from the sun.
31** The trailer for the wrestling film ''Sultan'' had the logo appear brown, to fit the earthy wrestling arena.
32* Film/ShinGodzilla: The Toho logo is the modern version, then turns to the 1950s color logo to homage Gojira (1954)'s era, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1M0wZMa3AM here]].
33* The Rank Organization:
34** A mid-movie gag occurs in ''Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber'' when the arrival of the British governor at the Khasi's palace is announced by a shirtless man striking an enormous gong, just like the Rank Organisation logo.
35-->'''Khasi:''' ''(wincing at the noise)'' I do wish you wouldn't keep doing that. Rank stupidity!
36** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' opens with a gong being struck, homaging the Rank logo.
37* ''Film/SuperheroMovie'' had the Creator/DimensionFilms logo turn green at the end, representing the color of the main character's costume.
38* The Safran Company logo has a woman throw a man off a ledge into a meat grinder, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6h9a323Y-I here]].
39** ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' uses a different variant: the man throws the woman off, and she falls through a series of comic-book panels before landing on her feet, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwojHeeRg7I here]].
40* ''Film/ZoomAcademyForSuperheroes'' has the Revolution Studios logo turn into a comic corner-box on a comic book of Team Zenith, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcBSHvh2QPU here]].

42** ''Film/{{Climax}}'' has the logo appear on a TV screen.
43** ''Film/{{Hereditary}}'' has the logo appear underground at a cemetery.
44** ''Film/Mid90s'' has its logo made from skateboards.
45** ''Film/{{Midsommar}}'' has its logo made from flowers.
46* Creator/PrimeVideo:
47** The ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTransformania'' trailer has fangs on the arrow "smile."
48** The ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' trailer has the logo made out of forged metal just like the rings and the series' title.
49* In ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', the Saban Films logo is comprised of an amalgamation between Saban's 90s logo (the gold disc), the late 90s-2000s logo (the Earth changing into the logo), the Saban Brands logo (with it being in space) and the unused Saban Films logo (having the logo get claw marks) which leads to SCG appearing below it instead of Saban Films.
50** The trailer for the Christmas dark comedy ''Film/{{Fatman}}'' has the Saban Films logo colored Christmas red (or blood red, if you will).
51* In ''Film/{{Annie 2014}}'', as the [[Creator/WillSmith Overbrook Entertainment]] logo appears, the record player starts playing ''Hard-Knock Life''.
52* ''Film/JackTheGiantSlayer'': The Bad Hat Harry logo has five giants walking in place of [[Film/TheUsualSuspects five men]], seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTJyIXKR1go here]].
53* The Japanese trailer of ''Film/CityHunterTheCupidsPerfume'' has the Albatros Film logo[[note]]The Japanese distributor for the film, which though based on a Japanese manga is a French production.[[/note]] feature pages from the ''Manga/CityHunter'' manga.
54* Hammerstone Studios uses a variant for ''Film/BillAndTedFaceTheMusic'', featuring the logo's [[https://i.imgur.com/fDjITii.jpg cliffside backdrop]] [[https://i.imgur.com/o5726CP.jpg covered in cave paintings, including one of Bill and Ted sitting on top of the phone booth]], just like [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51NDw4YKLxL._AC_UY445_.jpg the poster of the first movie]].
55* The Original Film logo is altered in ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' and ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022''. For the former, the black background is now red, while the silver text is blue. With the latter, the color scheme is inverted.
56* ''Film/{{Alien}}'': There's a UsefulNotes/BluRay release of the film where the Blu-ray logo on the disc is green instead of the usual blue.
57* ''Film/EnolaHolmes'' has the Creator/LegendaryPictures logo filtered to have a more illustrated appearance, bordered by flowered. This returns in [[Film/EnolaHolmes2 the sequel]] but instead of flowers, the edges of the screen slowly burn.
58* ''Film/CocaineBear'': The Lord Miller logo is redesigned with an 80’s style crest, font, and blue and pink color palate.
59* In ''Film/LuckyLukeAndTheDaltons'', the UGC logo at the beginning is set to harmonica music, to set the [[TheWestern Western]] mood.
60* In Leonid Gaidai's film adaptation of ''Literature/TheTwelveChairs'', the Creator/{{Mosfilm}} logo (the ''Art/WorkerAndKolkhozWoman'' sculpture with transparent glass "Mosfilm" letters in the bottom) is followed immediately by a caricature (originally by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukryniksy Kukryniksy]], who also illustrated the book) of Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov (writers of ''The Twelve Chairs'') in a Discobolus pose upon a heap of books surrounded by broken chairs, with "Ilf and Petrov" transparent glass letters underneath.

63[[folder:Television - Animation]]
64* Creator/DiCEntertainment:
65** Save for the earliest episodes, ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' has Gadget skating in front of the [=DiC=] logo. The hammer from his hat rises to dot the "i", and then he stumbles off screen.
66** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittles'': As the last line of the theme is sung, Dinky runs to dot the "i" in the [=DiC=] logo with a button before hopping away.
67* The A.K.A. Cartoon logo at the end of every ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode is remarkably different in every season, special and even TheMovie.
68* For Filmation’s sci-fi Western cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}'', the Filmation logo was accompanied by the sound of galloping horses and a whipcrack.
69* ''WesternAnimation/CapitolCritters'' features a variant of the Steven Bochco Productions plate where an animated mouse takes the place of Bochco's father.
70* To celebrate 20 years of the company, the Creator/{{Funimation}} logo had Manga/DragonBall fighting effects added to it. This logo can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuGnUwkANGo here]].
71* The Gracie Films logo at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has been altered for comedy a few times specific to the episode. At the end of every Halloween episode (with certain variants), the accompanying bit of music is played on a pipe organ, along with a woman's shrieking in lieu of the logo's usual "SHHHHH!" sound effect.
72** At the end of the {{crossover}} episode with ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the logo appears with the latter show's Peter Griffin heard singing along to the familiar nine-note electric piano theme. ("And now the show is over now".)
73* ''WesternAnimation/PlaydateWithDestiny'' (released in front of ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'') has WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse replace one of the patrons.
74* The ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode "Life in the Fast Lane, Bobby's Saga" features a racecar with the Film Roman logo on it.
75* Creator/MikeMcMahan's production company, Important Science, customizes its artwork (done by Justin Noel) depending on which show it's on. The company name in the center and the "pew pew!" sound effects remain consistent.
76** For ''WesternAnimation/SolarOpposites'', it depicts Jesse, Yumyulack, and a few other aliens goofing around.
77** For ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'', it depicts the ''Cerrito'' ship in a galaxy.
78[[/folder]]
79
80[[folder:Television - Live Action]]
81* In the second season of ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet'' the opening Central logo (a white globe) shrinks down and dissolves into a live action shot of a white roulette ball at the start of the opening credits.
82* Creator/ThamesTelevision
83** ''Series/TheKennyEverettVideoShow'' had Kenny bursting through a giant poster of the Thames logo. The shot was repeated in reverse for the closing logo.
84** Another of Cuddly Ken's programmes replaced the London buildings that made up the Thames logo with [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thames_boobs.jpg women's breasts]]!
85** When Creator/MorecambeAndWise moved to ITV, their new, Thames-produced series used a re-recorded version of their logo jingle; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y--DC6ANyg "Here they are now, Morecambe and Wi-i-i-i-i-ise!"]]
86** For the ''Des O'Connor'' show, the Thames jingle was played with different instruments. It would then swoop off into the stars, starting off the credits for the show.
87** One ''Creator/MontyPython'' episode opens with the actual Thames logo, followed by Thames announcer David Hamilton stating, "We’ve got an action-packed evening for you tonight on Thames but right now, [[SelfDeprecation here’s a rotten old BBC programme]]!"
88** ''Armchair Thriller'' used a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Up8vQ0cd0 nighttime version]] of the normal logo.
89** For ''Storyboard'', the last note would be reverbed as white streaks would fly in.
90** For ''Series/PaulinesQuirkes'', Creator/PaulineQuirke would rise up from the river dressed as Franchise/KingKong and start eating the logo.
91* Another Creator/{{ITV}} company who went along with the Logo Joke idea was Yorkshire Television - perhaps the best remembered example was their chevron logo zooming off like a firework in the titles to game show ''3-2-1''. It then explodes into the numbers "3", "2", "1", before diving back down and landing in a dustbin, magically animating it into the show's mascot, Dusty Bin.
92* Early editions of ''Series/{{Tiswas}}'' featured the ATV logo running backward.
93* A variation on LWT's red, white and blue 'ribbon' logo was used at the start of the interview show ''Russell Harty Plus'', where the end of the ribbon would loop into a circle from which the picture would iris in.
94** For LWT's adaptation of ''Literature/JustWilliam'', William would smash through the logo with a catapult after it had finished forming.
95** The short-lived sketch show ''End of Part One''[[note]] A SoundToScreenAdaptation of ''Radio/TheBurkissWay''[[/note]] begins one episode with the ribbon starting at the top left of the screen as usual, but instead of turning horizontal to form the "L" it continues straight down and falls offscreen with a loud crash.
96* The logo for Shadow Projects, involved in the production of a number of puppet shows, featured a dog. It would normally be heard barking at the end of one of these shows, but on ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'', sometimes it would make a different noise, such as meowing or quacking.
97* ''Series/LivAndMaddie'' always uses this trope, showing the Beck & Heart Productions logo take on the style of the "sisters by chance, friends by choice" picture, with Beck and Hart replacing the twins. No Disney Channel show loves this trope as much as this one does...
98** In "Flashback-A-Rooney" Liv sees the picture of Liv and Maddie when they were younger on their bedroom wall come to life, with their real faces in place of the drawing; consequently the Beck & Hart Productions VanityPlate after the end credits has the real faces of creators John D. Beck and Ron Hart superimposed on their drawn bodies.
99** "Helgaween-A-Rooney" has the Helga drawing in the logo, with Beck and Hart presenting offerings of pizza and sandwiches while Helga is heard shouting "[[NoIndoorVoice KNEEL BEFORE]] [[ThirdPersonPerson HELGA!]]"
100** "Rate-A-Rooney" has Beck and Hart holding up sheets of paper with "10" on them, with Karen saying "What'cha doing, Honeybunch?"
101** "Cook-A-Rooney" has Beck and Hart holding up copies of [[SmallNameBigEgo the home ec teacher's self-published memoirs]].
102** "Band-A-Rooney" replaces Beck and Hart with a picture of Crispy Kitty's album cover while Joey and Artie - i.e. Crispy Kitty - shout the band name in unison.
103** "Triangle-A-Rooney" leaves Beck and Hart alone - but has Johnny Nimbus standing next to them with ''Nimbus At Night'''s chicken puppet Janice squawking.
104** "Continued-A-Rooney" has two planes in the background - one with Diggie's face on it, the other following with the faces of Maddie and Joey on it.
105** "Co-Star-A-Rooney" has (real) Artie right in front of Beck and Hart while he shouts "END SCENE!"
106** "Voltage-A-Rooney" has (real) Liv as [=SkyVolt=], the superhero alterego of her ''Voltage'' character Tess, zapping Beck and Hart.
107** "Cowbell-A-Rooney" replaces the drawing of Beck and Hart holding up food with a photograph of them on the back of a cow while Maddie shouts "YOU JUST GOT MILKED!"
108** "Grandma-A-Rooney" has the Beck & Hart Productions logo accompanied with Maddie saying "[[ShoutOut What a crazy pair!]]"
109** The series finale "End -a- Rooney" has Beck and Hart holding signs saying "[[ThankingTheViewer thank you for watching!]]"
110* Similar to ''Liv and Maddie'', ''Series/CoopAndCamiAskTheWorld'' does this: the Bugliari/[=McLaughlin=] Productions logo features a voice clip of someone. Originally it was Ollie saying "Wheeeeee!!!", but other times it's one of the characters saying something throughout the episode played. The latter becomes more common in Season 2.
111* ''Series/{{Taxi}}'': For the ChristmasEpisode, the off-screen female voice in the John Charles Walters Productions logo says "Merry Christmas, Mr. Walters!" instead of "Good night, Mr. Walters!"
112* ''Series/GirlMeetsWorld'': "Girl Meets the New World" plays with the Michael Jacobs production ending guitar riff, by having Auggie's new friend (named "Dewey", but [[PretentiousPronunciation insists on being called "Doy"]]) sing the guitar riff in nothing but "Doy"s. ItMakesSenseInContext.
113* ''Series/{{Community}}'' [[http://letseyx.tumblr.com/post/1249835319/things-i-discovered-from-watching-the-community is]] "A Dan Harmon/Russo Brothers...
114** "...Tantrum."
115** "...Blood Pact."
116** "...Native American History Exhibit."
117** "...Spectacle." [[CouchGag And so on...]] This lasted until season 4, when both Dan Harmon and the Russo brothers both left the series. When Dan Harmon returned for season 5, the stock Harmonious Claptrap logo was used.
118* ''The Knights Of Prosperity'' had the B, & and B of the B&B animated logo perform a different magic act on every episode, such as the ampersand ("The Amazing Ando" - get it?) sawing the two B's apart.
119* ''Series/WhiteHousePlumbers'': Episodes open and close with what appears to be the very first HBO logo. Home Box Office launched in November 1972, soon after the events dramatized in this series (namely, the misadventures of the Plumbers that led to the Watergate break-in) took place.
120* The first episode of ''Series/HanginWithMrCooper'' has the Jeff Franklin Productions logo interrupt Mark in the middle of his introduction.
121* ''Anime/SpeedRacer'': The Tatsunoko Studio seahorse logo appears on various objects throughout the show.
122* Episode 3423 of ''Series/SesameStreet'' opens a ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Lion King]]'' parody with a special "Walt Dizzy" movie logo that combines the logos for Warner Bros and MGM (with a chicken).
123* Creator/{{PBS}}:
124** The network's first GameShow, WNET's ''We Interrupt This Week'', ends with a loud chorus abruptly singing the last line of "Happy Birthday to You".
125** One documentary, ''Mouth Music'', ended with a humorous a capella rendition of the PBS Everymen logo's music.
126** The start of PBS's promo for ''Al Capone: Icon'' begins with the PBS circle in the center of the screen swinging upside-down, counterclockwise, as though the bottom of the circle was nailed to something and the top was loose.
127** On the first episode of ''Series/SquareOneTV'', the 1984 PBS logo animation plays as usual at the end, but afterwards, the logo multiplies as vocals repeatedly sing, "AND ON..."
128** At the beginning of the American Comedy Network special, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTcTGGiQklY 1987 Connecticut Public Television opening logo animation]] plays, but the text "(Not Funny, Yet.)" appears below it, with audience laughter heard in the background.
129** After the credits roll in the documentary, ''Los Romeros: Royal Family of Guitar'', a guitar strums the 1991 sting as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghDh6SRWiGM KPBS closing logo animation]] is shown.
130** A snippet of the theme from ''Around and About New Jersey'' plays over the 1993 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W31aKRciiUg New Jersey Network opening logo animation]] as it commences the series' Revolutionary War episode.
131** Another NJN program, ‘’Reporters Roundtable With Michael Aron,’’ commenced its [[https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip-259-4q7qrh42 20th anniversary episode]] in 2009 with the said PBS Member Network’s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2-AJTjFnsU 1986 opening logo]].
132* ''Series/{{Jackass}}'': The Dickhouse "Chicken Statue" logo has many variants, such as floating along in a tub, sitting in the window of a moving car, or getting smacked with flour (from the "Antiquing" episode, in an example actually related to a specific one).
133* When Josh Schwartz's production company changed from College Hill Pictures to Fake Empire, the logo became a sketch pad with "FAKE EMPIRE" on it, though what's drawn on the pad depends on what show precedes it. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_Empire_Productions#Logo See for yourself]].
134* For [[MilestoneCelebration their 25th anniversary]] [[https://theident.gallery/c4-2007-at25.php in 2007]] and the run-up to the first episode of the eighties-set drama ''Series/ItsASin'' [[https://theident.gallery/c4-2021-special-1.php in January 2021]], Creator/ChannelFour used ''all'' their original branding for the entire days.
135* The Amazon Prime logo in the Title Announcement is made out of forged metal just like the rings and series title of ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower''.
136* In the ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'' episode "The Ecstasy Of Agony", which deals with the murder of a patient of a "domination therapist" (who combines BDSM with psychology to help her patients), the Good Session logo has the voice of the invisible therapist ("Good session.") be immediately followed by the sound of a whip cracking.
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:Web Animation]]
140* InUniverse example: In the Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom timeline ''Literature/AHippieInTheHouseOfMouse'', the movie ''Mask of the Monkey King: An Franchise/IndianaJones Adventure'' opens with the Paramount logo dissolving into a mountain in China.
141* Parodied in ''WebAnimation/FunnyHorsie'', where every episode is seemingly produced by a different company (most often a parody of an ITV franchise, given that the "show" is supposedly an old British children's programme), but occasionally more ridiculous ones such as "Mrs. Thatcher Productions", "Clowns TV", "Music/CourtneyLove Productions" ("I MADE DIS.") and "Bollocks Television".
142* The WebVideo/VideoGamesAwesome website has dozens of banners done in the style of various video game franchise's logos.
143* The Adamation logo at the end of ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity II'' and ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanityInvitational'' has a different character calling out the "Adamation!" every episode, always a character featured in the current episode.
144[[/folder]]
145
146[[folder:Web Comics]]
147* Each of the cat news channels in ''Webcomic/BreakingCatNews'' has a television logo bug in the lower right corner (BCN's is a ball of yarn; Gatos de Noticias has a toy mouse); cats who have died and go on as ghosts have their own channel, Radio Cat Oracle, with a little ghost cat (in a sheet, yet!) that reacts to what's going on.
148[[/folder]]
149
150[[folder:Web Original]]
151* Platform/{{Newgrounds}}:
152** There are 4 variants of the logo showing a different kind of Tankman sitting in the tank.
153** A Halloween version of the logo replaces the Tankman's head with a pumpkin.
154** The flash game ''VideoGame/{{Gyossait}}'' features the tank in the logo abandoned and covered in weeds.
155** In ''WebAnimation/SpookyMonth'', the Newgrounds upload of "Deadly Smiles" shows Skid and Pump riding in the tank. "Tender Treats" has them joined by Lila and Jaune, before they all escape after realizing Bob is with them.
156** In ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'', a graffiti doodle of a Tankman thumbs up at the player.
157* Every episode of ''WebVideo/{{Brutalmoose}}'' opens with his own logo altered to resemble a logo pertaning to the game he's reviewing.
158* The Website/ChannelAwesome logo displayed at the end of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's reviews play one out of context audio byte from the movie he is reviewing.
159** When the Critic reviewed ''Film/MoulinRouge'' (see above), he parodied said film's variation of the Fox logo, except with Chester A. Bum conducting the Channel Awesome fanfare.
160** On the Critic's review of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', the Gracie Films logo jingle plays during the Channel Awesome logo.
161[[/folder]]
162
163[[folder:Other]]
164* Website/{{Google}} [[http://www.google.com/doodles/finder/2013/All%20doodles does this frequently]], to celebrate an event, whether minor or major.
165* The Literature/{{Discworld}} book ''Literature/MovingPictures'', which itself parodies the film industry, features a set of subtle logo jokes:
166** Holy Wood Hill is implied to be a worn-down, aged version of the Paramount mountain logo, and in Ginger's dreams is shown surrounded by huge stars (which is FridgeHorror when, as well as being a ShoutOut, these appear to be connected with the established large stars in the skies of the Dungeon Dimensions).
167** Also, when the Golden Knight is awakened from his slumber beneath the Hill, Ginger is [[LogoJoke/ColumbiaPictures in a toga carrying a torch]] and Detritus bangs a gong, homaging the Rank Organization logo.
168** Ginger's dream also mentions a lion roaring, referring to the MGM logo.
169* The Creator/{{THX}} logo has quite a few variations, but the funniest is probably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAgX4QEV9Ts the one with the cows.]]
170* During the 1980s, WDIV in Detroit would broadcast Detroit Tigers baseball games, and at the end of the broadcast would feature an animated version of [[http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/53/59/full/2896.gif what was then the Detroit Tigers logo]] either [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnMayTr3lWk roaring and on occasion eating the opposing team's logo]] after a victory or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wicAfGQa0-E mewling with an ice pack on its head]] after a loss.
171** On the occasions where the opponent's logo would be eaten, there were usually special versions as well. For example, a victory against the Baltimore Orioles would have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T49aQWDLrI&t=2m8s the tiger spitting out orange feathers.]]
172* During the September 23, 2019 episode of ''Wrestling/WWERaw'', Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s opening "Then. Now. Forever." intro had a grim, distorted look, and a JumpScare of [[Wrestling/BrayWyatt The Fiend]].
173** During Wrestling/EricBischoff's term as General Manager of Raw from 2002-2005, the WWE intro would play, but a portrait of Bischoff would appear where the WWE logo would be normally placed. A picture of either Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin or Wrestling/MickFoley would appear after Bischoff's during their terms as Co-General Manager, along with sound clips of the audiences' reactions; boos for Bischoff, and cheers for Austin or Foley.
174* It used to be common for the Christmas issue of British gaming magazines to show the magazine logo covered in snow.
175* The intro to ''Series/MySesameStreetHomeVideo'' has an animated Cookie Monster taking a bite on the Series/SesameStreet logo. As the title fades out, Cookie Monster remarks "Delicious!"
176* The CD release of Music/DavidByrne's 1994 [[Music/DavidByrneAlbum self-titled album]] features a riff on the logo for his vanity label Luaka Bop, replacing the cartoon eye with a photograph of Byrne's own.
177* Creator/MonkeypawProductions:
178** ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'' has the vanity plate appear in monochrome.
179** In ''WesternAnimation/WendellAndWild'', the Rust Bank Brewery appears outside the window of the train cart.
180* Creator/IRSRecords created the imprints "I.R.S. No Speak" and "I.R.S. Metal" for {{instrumental|s}} and HeavyMetal releases, respectively, with both of these labels' logos featuring fitting variations on the main "I.R.S. Man" logo. The former imprint is denoted by the I.R.S. Man with a gag tied over his mouth, while the latter is denoted by a skeletal version of the I.R.S. Man.
