A character or company has a motto that, for some reason or another, gets changed to better fit the situation or the current times.
Some examples
- The General Insurance commercials: The old motto used to be "For the best car insurance rates in town, call 1-800-GENERAL now!" But as the Internet became more prevalent, they eventually changed it to "For a great low rate you can get online, go to The General and save some time!"
- Pokémon: Jessie, James, and Meowth tend to change their motto every few seasons. One time when they used their old motto again, they expressed how good it felt.
- Quidditch Through the Ages: After eighty years of failure, the Chudley Cannons officially changed their motto from "We shall conquer" to "Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best."
