AVID:Logos in Popular Culture

This page lists instances where logos have been spoofed or referenced in other media. Any media listed here must be notable. Anything considered non-notable should be removed immediately. If you are unsure whether or not something is notable, please start a discussion on the talk page.

The Muppets (1955-)
The Muppets franchise sometimes makes parodies of famous logos.


 * In the 1981 special The Muppets Go to the Movies, there is an MGM logo parody known as "Metro-Goldwyn-Bear", where Fozzie is in place of Leo.


 * The special did the same thing with the 20th Century Fox logo, calling it "20th Century Frog".


 * The special also parodied the Rank logo as "J. Arthur Link," with Link Hogthrob as the gongman.


 * They also did a parody of the Paramount Pictures logo as "Tantamount Pictures".


 * The same special also featured a parody of the Columbia Pictures logo, with the text reading "Cholesterol" and Miss Piggy in place of the Torch Lady.


 * The Great Muppet Caper features another MGM parody: Animal is in place of Leo, and the text reads "Lord Grade Presents". Lord Grade is a nod to "Lord" Lew Grade, the founder of ITC Entertainment, which originally distributed this film.


 * The Muppet Babies episode "The Daily Muppet" features yet another MGM parody: Baby Animal is in place of Leo, while Baby Gonzo is in place of the mask.


 * Another MGM parody appears in the episode "Slipping Beauty", again featuring Baby Animal in place of Leo and Baby Gonzo in place of the mask.

Tá Certo? (2005-2019)

 * The beginning of the program features a spoof of the MGM logo, with a Tosco in place of Leo, and TV Cultura in place of the mask.

Jeopardy (1964-1975, 1978-1979, 1984-)

 * In an unknown Celebrity Jeopardy episode from the 1964-1975 Art Fleming era (only known as it was seen in the final Fleming era episode from 1975, one of the only Fleming episodes to still exist period), a Daily Double uncovered by Gene Shalit asked to identify the NBC jingle. Gene briefly jokes that the answer is NOT "an eye" (CBS, of course) then states "That would be the very famous NBC peacock". He is reminded it has to be in the form of a question, so he rewords it to "Has anyone around here seen the very famous NBC peacock?". This was accepted.
 * On the episode aired on December 22, 1993, a Video Daily Double showing the 1992 Columbia Pictures logo painting, the 1993 Merv Griffin logo, and the 1992 TriStar Pictures logo painting. The question was "This is the Merv Griffin logo, this is the Columbia logo, and the following is this company's." The answer was "What is TriStar?"
 * In the May 13th, 2015 episode (Show #7068), one of the questions asked is "This late creator of Family Ties wrote the memoir Sit, Ubu, Sit" (referring to the Ubu Productions logo). None of the contestants got it right. The correct answer was Gary David Goldberg.

Press Your Luck (1983-1986, 2002-2013 (As Whammy!), 2019-)

 * In the original series for this show (aired on CBS), one of the questions Peter Tomarken asked refers to one of the taglines for NBC. The question was: "You can be proud as a what?" The correct answer was "peacock" (all players got it right), and Peter Tomarken then says, "Proud as a... CBS Peacock?" The only network that has a peacock is NBC, as CBS has an eye for its logo.

Sesame Street (1969-) and its co-productions and dubs (1971-)

 * Episode 2911 features a parody of the MGM logo.
 * Episode 1862 makes a spoof of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios logo featuring Slimey in place of Leo and the ribbons are white.
 * Episode 2171 features another parody of the MGM logo, again featuring Slimey in place of Leo.
 * On Episode 3423, a chicken is in place of the lion for "The Chicken King" sketch. This is a parody of MGM and The Walt Disney Company, as the text above the logo reads "Walt Dizzy Presents" and the drama mask is replaced by a shield labeled "WD" (for "Walt Dizzy", also a parody of the Warner Bros. shield).
 * There is another MGM parody where Big Bird is inside the circle. It was shown in Sesame Street's Brief History of Motion Pictures.
 * The blooper reel from the first season of the German Sesame Street co-production Sesamstraße features an MGM parody with the character Uli von Bödefeld in place of the lion.
 * Several TV specials of the German Sesame Street co-production Sesamstraße start with a parody of the MGM logo, in which Wolle roars with Leo's roar. The sides of the graphic have carrots instead of filmstrips, the text on the top reads "Sesame Street presents" (in German, "Sesamstraße präsentiert"), the left reads "Carrot" (Möhre) and the right has the year in Roman numerals, and the inscription in the circle reads "OVIS OVEM MANET" (Latin for "Sheep Remain Sheep"). There is no drama mask below the circle frame.
 * On trailers for the Cookie's Crumby Pictures segment, we see a rotating cookie on a space background with the text "Crumby" (with icing) zooming out and the text "pictures" fading in below, and then Cookie Monster jumps up from the bottom right and chomps on the cookie causing the crumb debris to explode and the text to orbit away from the screen. This logo parodies Universal's logo sequence and the Columbia Pictures music. A Spanish dubbed version also exists. In that spoof variant, the text for the logo zooms out below "producciones" and was named "Migajas". On several Spanish dubbed theatrical trailers on the sketch, Cookie Monster's nom sound effect is different. Additionally, a Portuguese version exists on the Brazilian co-production Sesamo and an Arabic version on the UAE co-production Iftah Ya Simsim. Because there are German dubbed trailers on Sesamstraße (the German co-production of Sesame Street), don't expect to see the German version of the logo as they don't have it and was never made.

Saturday Night Live (1975-)
This show often uses authentic TV station graphics and bugs whenever the need to do so in a skit arises, being allowed to do so under utilization of parody law. For the sake of being concise, this page will only list non-TV logo references or long animations alluding to one specific logo:
 * The skit "The Anal-Retentive Sportsman: Fishing" (from episode 5/13/1989: Wayne Gretzky/Fine Young Cannibals) uses a 3D rendered parody of the third PBS logo, complete with the actual animation and jingle.
 * Episode 1/15/2000 (Freddie Prinze Jr./Macy Gray) opens with the 2nd PBS logo before a parody of "Charlie Rose" (noteworthy as they tended to use the more relevant ones).


 * 11/13/1982 (Robert Blake/Kenny Loggins) also begins with a take on the 2nd logo. Here, the words "PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICE" are removed, the P-Head is green, the "B" is red, and the "S" is blue.
 * This same episode features an NBC parody at the end of the PBS sketch. Big Bird replaces the peacock, while the tagline below is "PROUD AS A PH.D."
 * "The Day Beyonce Turned Black" from the 2/13/2016 episode (Melissa McCarthy/Kanye West) begins with the actual 2012 Universal logo (presumably obtained as Comcast owns them both).
 * The skit "New HBO Shows" from the 4/6/2019 episode (Kit Harrington/Sara Bareilles) begins and ends with the real 1993 HBO Entertainment logo. At the end occurrence, the announcer imitates the TV turning on and synth note a second before the actual logo plays. After the logo plays, he can be heard with a sheepish "Ohhh...I didn't know we had the sound."
 * A desk lamp is briefly labeled as a "Pixar lamp" in the skit "Hobby Song" from the 4/13/2019 episode (Emma Stone/BTS) of the show.
 * A 1981 episode had the NBC peacock deteriorating, as voice actors sing to the instrumental, "NBC, Our Age Is Showing!" The audience then laughs.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988-1999, 2017-)

 * The ITC logo appears at the beginning of the KTMA version of Cosmic Princess (a movie consisting of two episodes of Space: 1999 edited together). Tom riffs "Is it just me, or whenever I see that ITC sign do you think of The Muppet Show?", alluding to the logo’s presence during the credits of the show.
 * On Gamera, as the 1985 King Features Entertainment logo plays following the film’s ending, Crow and Tom Servo look at the logo. Before leaving the theater with the others, Tom Servo says "that's a good crown".
 * In Untamed Youth, a rare movie on the show made by a big six studio, when the 1948 Warner Bros. logo is shown (bizarrely preceded by the 1984/then-current Warner Bros logo, although the latter plays before Joel and co. get into the theater), Tom Servo expresses relief that the film is at least from a competent studio.
 * Universal was far and away the most prominent big-six studio on the show:
 * Riding with Death (a TV movie consisting of two episodes of Gemini Man edited together) begins with the 1971 Universal logo. The following riffs are made on it:
 * (as logo is zooming through space, Tom Servo imitates theme to The Jetsons and a flying car from said show)
 * (logo has formed)
 * Mike: “Universal...except for YOU, Ron.”
 * Crow: “You know, the Earth thinks it's so great.”
 * Tom Servo: “Yeah, it thinks the whole world revolves around itself.”


 * Kitten with a Whip has the original 1963 version of the same Universal logo riffed:
 * Tom Servo: (referring to the opening theme) "It's a SWINGIN' world, baby!"
 * Crow: "It's Universal, it covers EVERYTHING."


 * Likewise, The Leech Woman has the 1946 Universal logo (Universal International):
 * Tom Servo: "I'm gonna spit in the ocean." (pretends to do just that)
 * Crow: "...the Earth has male-pattern baldness."


 * The same 1946 logo is seen on The Mole People:
 * Tom Servo: "Hey, the Earth from Shannon Lucid's point of view."
 * Crow: "...so, the Earth has neutral weather."


 * The Projected Man begins with the Presents version of the 1963 logo:
 * Mike: "Oh hey... Faberge presents!" (the squished print has made the globe egg shaped)
 * Tom Servo: (singing) "The incredible, edible Earth!" (continuing the egg joke, this references an old American Egg Board campaign)


 * At the end of the The Gumby Show episode "Robot Rumpus", which is used as the short in the episode The Screaming Skull (one of the very few instances where a TV episode was a short), the Cloaky Productions logo is shown. The lone riff is that Mike points out the Gumby in the logo has his head bump on the wrong side.
 * 12 to the Moon, another rare non-Universal big six studio movie on the show, begins with the 1955 Columbia logo. The crew spends the whole logo catcalling the Torch Lady.
 * San Francisco International, a pilot movie to a TV show, begins with the longer version of the 1969 Universal Television logo. The lone riff is Tom Servo saying "OKAY, big freaking deal" (a riff at the company name being oversized).
 * Escape 2000 begins with the 1982 Samuel Goldwyn Television logo riffed as such:
 * Mike: "Hey, why is John Madden signing Samuel Goldwyn's signature?"
 * Crow: "Samuel Goldwyn: father of the Constitution."


 * Puma Man opens with the Cinema Shares International Distribution logo, the lone riff being that Tom Servo finds it an awesomely over the top company name.
 * The Wild Wild World of Batwoman opens with the Medallion TV Enterprises logo:
 * Mike: "Hey, I have my four-year TV medallion."
 * Tom Servo: "What do you do when you're branded? We watch TV." (reference to theme song of the show Branded)


 * The same logo is on The Slime People, only Joel imitates a cymbal after the fanfare.
 * Some episodes have references to logos asides from riffs on the ones on the featured films:
 * In one of the host segments of the episode Teenagers from Outer Space, Tom Servo discusses making a TriStar Pegasus logo for a film festival pageant in his spare time. It ultimately turns out that he used a (plush) cow with wings instead of a horse.
 * In Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, the 1937 Warner Bros. logo shows up within a scene of the film itself (as Casablanca is a major plot point in the film). This exchange occurs thusly:
 * "He had a terrible job: monitoring routine data output on global climate control."
 * (logo has shown up)
 * Mike: "And its effect on Bugs Bunny."


 * In The Crawling Eye, when a mountain shot is shown, Servo states it must be a Paramount picture.
 * When the American International Television logo is shown at the beginning of The Day the Earth Froze, Joel says "How can something be American and International?"
 * When Stryker looks at the Earth through his monitor at the beginning of Stranded in Space, Servo shouts: "It's a Universal picture!"
 * When Crow compliments "the great masonry work on the tiles" of Gorgo, Servo replies, "It was made by the guys at Mark VII Productions."
 * Early in The Screaming Skull, Jenny runs toward a flock of peacocks, leading Mike to respond with "Help us! NBC is after us! Hide us!"
 * Santo in the Treasure of Dracula has two references:
 * When a bizarre spiral effect similar to the background of the second Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures logo shows up on screen, it is riffed that "It's a Spin and Marty Krofft production!" (Sic)
 * When Luisa's daughter Paquita walks past a rather old looking desk lamp, someone riffs that it's a "60s Pixar lamp".
 * Beyond Atlantis has Emily briefly riff "Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!"

Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!! (1989-)
Commonly referred to as "Gaki no Tsukai", this Japanese variety show hosted by popular Japanese comedy duo, Downtown, had an episode in which Itsuji Itao asks the Gaki no Tsukai cast to participate in a quiz show hosted by himself (with his wife). When Masatoshi Hamada is asked if he would like to "Skill-Up" after he answered a question correctly, he replies with "Yes", and soon a woman brings Hamada a prize; an "It's Jii Pendant". The 20th Century Fox fanfare can be heard as the woman brings the prize (Go to 09:12).

Оба-на! (1990-1995)
A spoof of the VID logo was seen on an episode of that show beginning with a man from the show superimposed over the ball/line animation, panicking and freaking out over it, and then sliding down as the ball falls off the line. It then proceeds normally, until, a few seconds after the mask is seen, it then fades into a gray-scale version of the face of Russian writer/comedian Igor Ugolnikov, whom says in an electronically-distorted voice in Russian, "VID, VID. Nothing is viewed from your view!" and then smiles as we hear the audience whistle and the opening theme play.

Dinosaurs (1991-1994)
The episodes "Baby Talk" and "Network Genius" prominently feature the Antediluvian Broadcasting Company ('antediluvian' is a term used to refer to something which is ancient), an obvious parody of ABC, more specifically their 1990 'America's Watching' ID.

Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993-1998)

 * The episode "Sound" opens with a parody of the THX logo that reads "SOUND: THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING."
 * "Gravity" spoofs three different logos on its "Gravity Man" segment, being the ABC, NBC, and CBS logos. Coincidentally, Disney bought ABC in 1996, as this episode aired three years prior.
 * In the "Atmosphere" episode, the umbrella that Bill Nye's "coach" uses has an all-blue 1984 PBS logo on it.
 * Sometimes on fake trailers for parodies of famous movies, a parody of the 1963 Universal Studios logo is seen at the beginning. In this parody, the word "UNIVERSAL" is replaced by the word "UNYEVERSAL", and the globe is replaced by Bill Nye's head, which spins.

The Ferals (1994-1995)
In one episode, the MGM logo has Rattus in place of Leo imitating his roars.

Micro Kid's Multimedia (1995-1997, France)
Almost at the end of an episode aired on June 22, 1997, the 20th Century Fox theme can be heard at one point. The video can be played here. (NOTE: Skip to 11:38 to hear the logo theme cameo).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
In the episode "Bargaining, Part 1", Tara gives Giles a rubber finger monster and says "Grr, argh", referencing the show's own Mutant Enemy logo.

The O Show (aka steve.oedekerk.com, 1997)
The beginning of this NBC special had the "O" from the first O Entertainment logo fly to the center of the screen as the THX Deep Note was heard.

XHDRbZ (2002-2004)
In one episode, the NBC logo has Peacock riding with bike.

La familia P. Luche (2002-2012)
The Televisa logo appears in few episodes, but the "Televisa" text is repleaced with "TeleLuche".

Drake & Josh (2004-2007)
If you look closely at the exterior shots of The Premier (the movie theater where Josh works in the show), there's a store on the right hand side called "Schneider's Bakery", which is the name of the show's production company.

Real Time with Bill Maher (2003-)
In the 5/19/17 episode, whilst giving a brief soliloquy to the recently-deceased Brad Grey, Maher alludes to the show's own Brad Grey Television logo: "You see his name in the credits. Most of the time, when you see people's names in the credits, it's bull****. Not in this case."

Two and a Half Men (2003-2015)
In the series finale "Of Course He's Dead", there is a spoof of the Looney Tunes Warner Bros logo featuring Porky Pig during the animated sequence.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005-)
The 20th Century Fox (2009-2020) logo is seen in a theater, but the 2nd part of the logo stops abruptly due to a dangerous threat in the theater. (Seen in Season 7, Episode 11)

Dave Mercer's Facts of Fishing (2007-)
At the beginning of early episodes from this show, an MGM logo parody appears much like the last MGM/UA Home Video logo, before we see Dave Mercer appear in the circle and roar. The music in the background happens to share the same music as the last International Video Entertainment logo.

iCarly (2007-2012)

 * On the episode "iBust a Thief", the "Mmmm!" sound from Schneider's Bakery logo is heard.
 * In the episode "iToe Fat Cakes", a TV with the 2009 Nickelodeon logo appears. However, the "NICK" text is on the screen bug.

The Hamster Wheel (2011-2012)
This satirical series from Australian comedy group The Chaser has parodied several logos, such as the Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder, Shine Australia, Gracie Films, Thames, UBU Productions, Southern Star, and Stephen J. Cannell Productions logos. Here are the lines and sound effects heard/used in the parodies:


 * CJZ : This is the show's actual logo. Underneath the logo it says "Now with 100% less Denton".
 * Shine Australia: The text under the logo says "Inspire, Create, Steal. Remaking overseas formats since 2010." Instead of the actual slogan.
 * Gracie Films: Someone says "This theater smell of sp**m to you?" and then the logo plays as normal.
 * Thames: The logo plays as normal until when the buildings finish rising out of the river where a boat sails from the right side of the screen to the middle of the river and then we hear Tony Abbott say "Stop the boats!" which is a line used by him once when he was referring to the asylum seeker boats carrying illegal immigrants to Australia.
 * UBU Productions: We hear a guy say "Sit, Ubu, Sit! I said SIT, you f***ing mongrel!... Ubu, if you don't sit right this second, I'm gonna ram that Frisbee so far down your throat... oh, f*** it. I knew we should've bought a cat." Ubu then barks.
 * Southern Star: The text "We apologise for Big Brother" replaces the actual slogan.
 * Stephen J. Cannell Productions: We see a different person in place of Stephen J. Cannell during the typewriter sequence. When he throws the paper, it animates like normal before we go back to the man and the paper hits him in the face.

Loiter Squad (2012-2014)
A spoof of the Warner Bros. Pictures logo is used.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (2014 -)
In the 11/4/2018 episode ("Family Separation" as main story), in the opening monologue, John makes fun of an incident where Nebraska chief of staff Reyn Archer got enraged at a local professor for the latter having liked an image of a vandalized sign of Nebraska senator Jeff Fortenberry on Facebook. Reyn Archer states it's as bad as if the professor had liked a photo of blackface, to which John just states "...no, blackface is not acceptable". Shortly afterwards, a live action man dressed as the NBC peacock appears, accompanied by the chimes rendered in trumpets, ready to make John Oliver the new Today Show host (a jab at the firing of former host Megyn Kelly for saying she thinks blackface is acceptable). The peacock still persists and Oliver has to tell him he wasn't serious about replacing Kelly, to which the peacock leaves.

Hairspray Live (2016)
The NBC logo appears in the opening scene along with the three note chime.

Impractical Jokers (2011-)
During the introductory scene from the Thirteenth episode of Season 5, the Q-Sound logo can be seen in the BG when Q says his line. The game in question (though blacked out during this shoot for copyright reasons) is Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 (which can be seen online and most likely in the restaurant, as this episode was filmed at the Evil Olive Pizza Bar in New York).

Henry Danger (2014-2020)

 * On the episode "Mo Danger, Mo Problems", the box Piper holds has the Schneider's Bakery logo on it.
 * At the end of the episode "Toon in for Danger", The Adventures of Kid Danger opening theme ending with the 2009 Nickelodeon logo appears.

Les Décodeurs de l'Info (1990-1992)
One of the episodes from this Belgian version of Les Guignols de l'info features a fake logo for a company called "Cine Mathot Graffe" in a trailer segment, which consists of the name plastered over footage of the finished 1990 Universal logo while the Touchstone Pictures theme is playing in the background.

Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1974)

 * In episode 6, "It's the Arts", at the beginning of the "Twentieth-Century Vole" sketch, the 20th Century Fox logo is parodied as "20th Century Vole", followed by a parody of the MGM logo with a chirping vole replacing the lion.
 * The 1969 BBC One logo appears in several episodes; the first episode in which it appears is episode 14, "Face the Press".
 * The 20th Century Fox logo is also parodied in episode 36, but this time it's a rock structure and it reads "DR.E.HENRY THRIPSHAW'S DISEASE". Notice these TCF-like rock structures are used recurrently in the Monty Python series, such as in the opening sequences of And Now for Something Completely Different and Monty Python's Life of Brian.
 * The Thames logo makes an appearance at the start of episode 39, "Grandstand". We then cut to Thames presenter David Hamilton, who says, "Good evening. We've got an action-packed evening for you tonight on Thames, but right now here's a rotten old BBC programme."
 * The 1967 BBC 2 logo makes an appearance in episode 40, "The Golden Age of Ballooning".

Alvin and the Chipmunks (1958-present)
The MGM logo is parodied in the intro for The Chipmunks Go to the Movies, with Alvin in place of Leo.

Henry's Cat (1983-1995)
This BBC children's series opened with a titular character roaring inside the "O" of the giant red text "BOB", with a banner reading "GODFREY FILMS LIMITED" and "PRESENTS" under it, in a parody of the MGM logo. The last 2 seasons had this logo but it was sped up. It is unknown if US airings (on Nickelodeon's Pinwheel and Showtime) had this logo.

Dragon Ball (1986-1989)
The episode "He's Here! The Mighty Enemy Giran" ("Monster Beast Giran" on English releases) opens with a parody of the 1978 Golden Harvest logo, fitting the beginning of the martial arts-focused World Martial Arts Tournament arc. The spoof has parts of the Japanese character "武" in the World Martial Arts Tournament logo appear in the same way the rectangles appear, accompanied by a soundalike of the original music.

Dragon Ball Z (1989-1996)
On one episode, the Toei logo is parodied in which the logo is cartoonized and the Toei triangle instead reads "ZTV".

Fireman Sam (1987 series)
In the episode, "Telly Trouble", when a television program was about to start in one scene, a parody of the BBC1 logo was seen on the TV. It looks the same as a normal BBC1 ident, but the globe has a cartoonish look and the text in the bottom of the globe says "PTV1", which stands for "Pontypandy Television One".

The Simpsons (1989-)

 * In "Behind the Laughter", we see parodies of the ABC, NBC, and Telemundo logos when the Narrator talks how about how Homer showed his demo tape to the major networks. The parody ABC logo is red and in a slightly different font; the NBC logo is based on the 1986 one, also with a different font. The peacock is in yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and blue and has no beak, while the Telemundo logo is loosely based on the 1997-2000 logo, but there is no sphere inside the T, the square is more jagged and the logo is pink, purple, and white.
 * In "Treehouse of Horror XXV", when Homer flicks through channels which all have Married with Children, the Al Jazeera, Animal Planet, BET, FXXXXXX (a parody of FX), The Herstory Channel (a parody of History whose logo is greatly based on the 1995-2008 one) and Syfy logos are parodied. Al Jazeera's Arabic icon is simplified to a light orange flame and "ALJAZERRA" is now two words and black, while the Animal Planet, Syfy, and BET logos are based on the then-current logos (save for BET's, which was based on the 2008-2011 one). All of them have slightly different fonts, and the Animal Planet logo's M is not sideways, BET's "E" and "T" are not connected, and the Syfy logo's letters are spaced out a bit.
 * In "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", when Rupert Murdoch appears, football players arrange to say "HI RUPERT". As they form the words, a band plays an abridged version of the TCF fanfare, sounding like a slightly extended version of the 1995 TCFTV fanfare.
 * "Treehouse of Horror XX" ends with the cast singing a short closing number to the tune of the Simpsons theme song. We then cut to Kang and Kodos sitting in the audience, and Kodos shushes everyone and points to Kang, who has fallen asleep. This is an obvious reference to the Gracie Films logo seen at the end of the show.

Tiny Toon Adventures (1990-1995, TBA)

 * In "The Looney Beginning", there's a scene where Saul Bass' "Big W" logo is being chased around by the classic Warner Bros. "Shield" logo seen in the Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies intros.


 * The episode "Cinemaniacs!" features a parody of the Rank Organisation logo, with Hamton J. Pig in place of the Gongman.

Animaniacs (1993-1998, 2020-)
This animated TV series has spoofed several well-known logos during the show's entire run, such as CBS Special Presentation, PBS, UBU Productions, and Disney.


 * Several special episodes start with a parody of the 1973 CBS Special Presentation logo, with "ANIMANIACS" in place of "SPECIAL" spinning towards the camera, and the finished phrase reading "AN ANIMANIACS SPECIAL PRESENTATION", with "ANIMANIACS" in yellow and the rest of the text in red.


 * The 1989 PBS logo was spoofed before a parody of Barney and Friends. On a blue screen, we see cardboard cutouts of the heads of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. They slowly turn to their left, and then the text "SBS" appears without any multi-colored lines, followed by the text "STUPID BROADCASTING SERVICE" to its right, both in yellow, as a child's voice says, "Baloney and Kids is brought to you by this station and other stations that lack clever programming." A synth piece intended to invoke the original logo's music plays throughout.
 * At the end of episodes 42 and 98, the Warners sign off with "Sit, Ubu, sit."


 * The 1985 Disney logo was parodied before a sketch parodying Disney's Pocahontas. On a blue background, we see the Warner Bros. watertower in place of the castle, with the white text "WARNER BROS." above the tower, as Dot flies in dressed as Tinkerbell.

The Critic (1994-1995)
In the episode "A Song for Margo", the screen bug for the Fox network logo can be seen.

Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man (1994-1997)

 * In the episode "Inherit the Judgement: The Dope's Trial", when Duckman says he has a higher power on his side, even higher, the clouds take us to the Paramount Television logo.
 * In the episode "Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.", when Duckman and his family are going to watch a movie based on the aforementioned character, the USA World Premiere Movie logo is shown.


 * The episode "Duckman and Cornfed in Haunted Society Plumbers" begins with the 1927 Paramount logo in black and white.
 * The episode "The Road to Dendron", a parody of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's "Road to..." films, starts with the 1950 Paramount "Ugly Mountain" logo.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast (1994-1999, 2001-2004, 2006-2008)
At the end of the episode "Explode," featuring Monty Python member Eric Idle, there is a parody of the BBC bumper, with a slowly turning Ghost Planet over BBC-style "Cartoon Network" lettering, and John Peel saying through voice-over: "Coming up next on the Cartoon Network, the Ghost Planet will explode." The beep sound is then used five times until the Ghost Planet finally explodes.

Arthur (1996-2022)
Rat is Art Backwards ...Almost
 * There is a parody of the Columbia logo with Mr. Ratburn in place of the Torch Lady (which looks like a stained-glass window), appearing on the episode "Buster Baxter, Cat Saver." The announcer says "21st Century Rat proudly presents"; the text below him says:


 * Title cards for Buster-centric episodes feature a spoof of the MGM logo with Buster "roaring" in the circle (occasionally, another sound is heard, like an elephant's trumpet or a burping noise). Arthur then appears beside Buster and laughs.


 * At the beginning of the season two episode "The Big Blow-Up," the Cinar and WGBH logos are seen. The Cinar logo appears on a hockey sweater and the side of a racecar. The WGBH logo is seen below the Cinar logo on the racecar. It's also worth pointing out that the hockey sweater uses the same colors as the Canadiens hockey team and that the racecar uses the same colors as the Bruins hockey team. The Canadiens play in Montreal, the same city where Cinar operated out of. The Bruins play in Boston, where WGBH operates.

Dexter's Laboratory (1996-2003)
On the episode "Coupon for Craziness", the episode begins with a title card that has the Hanna-Barbera script logo on it.

South Park (1997-)

 * On many episodes, there is a television network that parodies NBC called "HBC" (though in its first two appearances it parodied HBO with the "HBC Movie Of The Week"). Its logo consists of a multi-colored turtle instead of a peacock. However, on the episode "Best Friends Forever," it parodies ABC with "HBC World News." It again parodies NBC on the episode "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs," with simply "HBC News" but with a peacock this time.
 * On the episode "City On The Edge of Forever," another parody of the NBC logo can be seen on the building of the NBC headquarters.
 * On the episode "Jakovasaurs," in the scene where the titular creatures appear to live in a sitcom format, a parody of the Comedy Central logo at the time (the 4th logo) is on the bottom-right corner. Talk about poking fun at your own network!
 * In the episode "The New Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer," Shelly gets angry at Stan and the other boys for using the television and switches the channel to the WD (parody of The WB) so she can watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 * One of the side plots in the episode "Hell On Earth 2006" features the escapades of serial killers Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy as they return to Earth attempting to bake and transport a large Ferrari cake to Satan's big costume party. The way they interact with one another mirrors that of The Three Stooges, and one scene opens with a parody of The Three Stooges intro, Columbia Torch Lady and all.
 * In the episode "Dances With Smurfs," the tune that plays before the school's morning announcements is a faster version of the NBC chimes with the first and second notes switched.

Space Goofs (1997-2008)

In the episode "Trick or Treat" in the beginning of a nightmare sequence, the Channel 4 logo is shown on the TV with a continunity announcer.

Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theatre (1998-2004)
This programming block on Cartoon Network featured previews for films aired on the block and bumpers that would open with a parody of another logo.
 * Before previews of films, a parody of the Paramount Pictures logo is seen where the camera zooming towards a mountain with a circle of nine stars around it. The mountain tips over towards the viewer (revealing that it was only a backdrop) and the third star on the left falls down. The camera then zooms into the opening where the mountain was to start the preview.
 * One bumper parodies the Columbia Pictures logo by zooming towards the Torch Lady at an angle as she struggles to get her torch to light up. She waves it in the air and then hits it against her leg. It finally lights up and the camera moves to the right. As this happens, her dress gets blown up and she tries to get it back down as the camera moves away from her.
 * Another bumper parodies the MGM logo. A lion is seen inside a filmstrip circle licking an ice cream cone. He then looks at the audience and is frightened, quickly eating the rest of his ice cream, packs some stuff in a suitcase, and leaving the circle. The camera zooms in on the circle while this happens.

Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999-2002)
In the episode "Bride of the Swamp Monster", there is a board beside a counter that is a partially incomplete Cartoon Network logo.

Family Guy (1999-2003, 2005-)

 * In "LASIK Instinct", in the beginning of a commercial about Burbank, CA, a parody of the 1984-2009 Nickelodeon logo (with the text in Cooper Black) in the form of an oval pops in on a stock image of a man washing a Tesla Model 3.
 * In "All About Alana", there was a cutaway where the final 20th Century Fox logo is played, but after the drums, a melodica is heard playing the rest of the fanfare.

Futurama (1999-2003, 2008-2013)

 * The episode "300 Big Boys" has a parody of DreamWorks Pictures titled 'GeneWorks, S.K.G.', shown as a genetics store.

¡Mucha Lucha! (2002-2005)
When Rikochet explains the truth about fleas in the episode "All Creatures Masked and Small", the music for the 1991 Universal Cartoon Studios logo plays. Coincidentally, the theme for Universal Cartoon Studios was composed by Michael Tavera, who also created the music for ¡Mucha Lucha! during the first two seasons.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999 - )

 * Two logo references occur in "Plankton's Army":
 * The episode itself concerns Plankton recruiting his extended family. They all look like the other creatures in the show's own United Plankton Pictures logo.


 * Later on, when Karen is making fun of Plankton for his first name of "Sheldon" by displaying it in increasingly bigger fonts, the last resembles the 1956 Four Star logo.


 * In both "The Sponge Who Could Fly" and "Truth or Square", the Nickelodeon foot is seen during live-action sequences taking place at Nickelodeon Studios.


 * Also, in the episode "Girls Night Out", whenever someone says "gal pals", Karen displays an animation that resembles the BBC Video "Star" logo from 1980.


 * In "Ghost Host", the Rank Organisation logo is parodied at the beginning of a motivational video SpongeBob shows to the Flying Dutchman to help him regain his confidence.


 * At the end of the episode "Suction Cup Symphony", the music from the 1986 Pixar logo can be heard. Considering the music from the logo is stock music, however, this was likely unintentional.

I Cartoni dello Zecchino d'Oro (2000-2019)

 * The "Il Gatto Puzzolone" music video starts with a parody of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios that shows the cat character featured in the video in a banner with the words "LA PUZZOLONE MAYER PRODUCTION" above and "Presenta" below.

Kirby: Right Back At Ya! (2001-2003)
In the episode, "Fatastrophe! Snack Junkie!" ("Fitness Fiend" for the English dub), when the end credits are shown for the movie that King Dedede was watching, a parody of the Dolby logo is shown. Instead of the Double D symbol, the symbol is "DDD" (an obvious reference to the aforementioned character).

In one scene in the episode "Wrath of the Spider Queen", the front of Billy's racecar has the 2004 Cartoon Network logo without the name at the bottom.

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2002-2006)
An MGM spoof is seen in the episode "Lights! Camera! Danger!", with Goddard in place of Leo.

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi (2004-2006)
The final episode "It's Alive!" opens with "A Renegade Picture". This is not only a reference to Renegade Animation, the studio that produced and animated Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, but the logo is also a reference to and parody of the 1927 Universal Studios logo.

Megas XLR (2004-2005)
On one episode, the 1980s MTV logo was parodied with the "M" replaced by the word "POP" with the second "P" backwards and the text below reading "POP TELEVISION" instead of "MUSIC TELEVISION".

American Dad (2005- )
Roger takes the place of the lion that spoofs the MGM logo for TBS. This is shown before new American Dad episodes air on TV.

The Boondocks (2005-2014)

 * The beginning of the episode "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back" is a parody of martial arts films, so appropriately enough, there is a parody of the 1958 Shaw Brothers logo with "BOON" and "DOCKS" replacing "SHAW" and "SCOPE" respectively, and the letters "BD" inside the shield. The music used is even a reorchestration of the logo's fanfare.
 * On television programs within the show, the following logos have been seen as screen bugs throughout the show's run: MTV, BET, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News Channel.

Robot Chicken (2005-)

 * On the episode "Rabbits on a Rollercoaster", before the closing logos, Joss Whedon presents a newer version of the Mutant Enemy logo, depicting the vampire monster in the logo being presumably shot, before coming back up, attacking the shooter and going on a rampage in the city. We then cut to Joss in the office re-enacting the scene with dolls, before an executive remarks "Come on, Joss; that's why got you kicked off Wonder Woman." Joss responds with the monster's trademark "Grr, argh!"
 * In the episode "1987", during the skit "Ted Turner Saves Earth", the Turner logo is prominently seen in the background of Ted Turner's business meeting.
 * In "Junk in the Trunk", during the skit "X-Span Request Live", the 1992 Cartoon Network logo can be seen in the background of a city shot.
 * At the end of "Easter Basket", in between the credits and the show's actual closing logos, a parody of Ubu Productions appears, showing a RC stop motion rendition of the original logo. Seth Green is heard saying "Sit, Ubu, sit.....bad dog.", followed by a gunshot and the sound of Ubu whimpering.
 * In "Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III", one skit shows IG-88 bringing his cousin THX-1138 (a reference to the movie of the same name that gave THX its name) to a bar. The Deep Note plays with his introduction and causes some loud offscreen destruction, much to the ire of the patrons.

Shin Chan (Funimation dub; 2006-2011)
The 1993 Toho logo appears in the projection screen in the episode "The After-Breakfast Enema".

Back at the Barnyard (2007-2011)
A parody of the THX logo called "BYX" (made out of barns) appears in the episode "Home Sweet Hole".

Chowder (2007-2010)

 * In one scene in the episode "Gazpacho Stands Up" Gazpacho wipes off a scribble that Chowder did on the screen. The 2004 Cartoon Network logo appears in the bottom right. Chowder points to the logo and says "How about that one?" Gazpacho then taps on the logo and replies "Yeah, that one doesn't come off. I tried," in reference to the CN screen bug.
 * In "The Bruised Bluenana", when Chowder explains what happened previously, Gazpacho tells him to skip ahead which shows brief scenes from later parts of the episode, the credits sequence, and even the Cartoon Network Studios logo.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2010)
In the episode "Sidekicks Assemble" Robin references the UBU Productions logo when he takes down a henchman called Ubu and says "Sit, Ubu, Sit."

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt (2010)

The title card of the episode "Trevor the Hero" is a spoof of the MGM logo with Trevor in the place of the MGM lion, Leo, and Eric in the place of the mask.

T.U.F.F. Puppy (2010-2015)
The "Shrederator" used by Quacky and Sharing Moose to shred the evidence in the episode "Lucky Duck", is a reference to Fred Seibert's company Frederator Studios, one of the production companies that work on another Butch Hartman show, The Fairly OddParents.

MAD (2010-2013)

 * In the sketch, "CSiCarly", a Nickelodeon blimp is shown, with "NICK" set in Segoe Print, evoking the 1984-2009 Nickelodeon logo sandwiched between parodies of SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star.

The Amazing World of Gumball (2011-2019)

 * In the episode "The Shippening", Sarah comes across a magical notebook that makes her drawings come to life. The front of it has the 2010 Cartoon Network logo without the name at the bottom.

The Tatami Galaxy (2011)
The 2nd episode of the anime show has a parody of the Golden Harvest logo when the characters are at the movie theater.

Hetalia: The Beautiful World (2013)
This spoof of the MGM lion has America roaring and the banner saying "U·S·A". This can be seen on episode 18 of Hetalia: The Beautiful World (as well as the anime's trailer on Funimation's YouTube channel).

Steven Universe (2013-2019)
At the end of the episode "Lion 2: The Movie", Lion is roaring in this spoof of the MGM logo with Steven's head surrounded by gems in place of the mask and wreath.

Teen Titans Go! (2013- )
At the end of the episode “Nostalgia is Not a Substitute for an Actual Story” (an episode which parodies the 1980s), a parody of the UBU Productions logo is seen, but with a frog wearing a top hat and the text reading “Fennimore Frog Productions”. A male voiceover (done by Greg Cipes) says “Stay, froggy, stay. Nice frog,” followed by a frog croak.

BoJack Horseman (2014-2020)

 * In the episode "The Telescope" during an extended 80s flashback sequence, an Ubu in the style of the universe's anthropomorphic dogs is seen at a celebrity party. Charlotte identifies him as "that guy who sits". Herb Kazzaz then adds "he really IS a good dog".
 * Ubu Productions is also referenced by BoJack in "Prickly Muffin" when he says the logos lines to himself, whilst imagining the successful end of his day with Sarah Lynn is the end of an episode of the show the two co-starred on.
 * The Secretariat movie that Season 2 largely concerned itself on the production of is from "MMM". Although their print logo is only briefly seen on their water towers a couple of times, it is indeed that of MGM with a BJH-anthropomorphized version of Leo.
 * The TV show Philbert which Season 5 concerns itself with the production of is filmed at Warbler Brothers studios, the logo of which is a bird (just a plain simple non-anthropomorphic cartoon one this time) as the Warner Bros. shield.
 * In both "BoJack the Feminist" and "The Stopped Show" two news bugs parodies are seen in succession: BBC News as "BRB News" and Fox News with the word "Fox" replaced with a fox head.

Like, Share, Die (January - August 2015)
Both "Chinese Knockoff" skits (the The Lego Movie parody "Bricko Movie" from the episode "Lumbersexual Milkshakes and Neckbeards" and the Family Guy parody "Man Family Man" from the episode "God Blocks Kitty Porn") begin with a parody of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo. The castle is replaced with a Chinese temple, yellow against a red background to simulate the flag of said country, and the company name reads "Chinese Knockoff" in the white Disney font and "Original Production" in yellow and in the "pictures" font of the original logo. Bizarrely, this spoof unintentionally predicted the actual ownership of the real Family Guy being sold to Disney years after the parody on the show.

We Bare Bears (2015-2019)
The episode "The Demon" begins with a blue BG, with the Japanese characters over a line, and "WE BARE BEARS" on the bottom right corner; referencing the Studio Ghibli logo. Surprisingly, there's no drawing of Ice Bear or any of the bears.

Neo Yokio (2017-2018)
In the first episode "The Sea Beneath 14th Street", after the Netflix logo, a fictional tourism guide for the titular Neo Yokio plays. The title card uses the actual Thames theme.

Pop Team Epic (January - March 2018)
In the episode "Vanver - A Game in Another Dimension", during one skit done in an 8 bit style (to be exact the "0 Percent" skit), the shows logo briefly appears in between game screens with what sounds like the Game Boy chime.

Bluey (2018-present)
In the episode "Movies", where Bandit takes Bluey and Bingo to the cinema for the first time, after a trailer for a Bee Movie parody which scares Bluey, a parody of the THX logo called "BRM" appears, along with a voice in the logo saying "Experience. Pure. SOUND.", which also scares Bluey.

Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (1961-1969)
In the very first episode, "An Adventure in Color", after his performance of "The Spectrum Song", Ludwig von Drake meets the NBC peacock and delivers the following line: "What a show-off! How do you like that guy? I'm gonna let you in on something. Confidentially, he dyes his feathers."

In the episode "Hooray for Mollywood!", the MGM logo is parodied with Scratch in place of Leo and the ribbon reading "Spooks Gratia Spooktis".

Rowdy & Peanut: Cat Burglar (2022)
This interactive cartoon opens with a parody of the MGM Cartoons intro, with an elephant trumpeting in place of Tanner and an Egyptian pharoah mummy for the mask. The main text reads "A Cut-Rate-Pictures FLIXTOON TECHNICALLY IN COLOR". "Ars Gratia Artis" is parodied as "LOGO PARODIS SPOOFUS". There are two humorous disclaimers to the sides. The left one reads "COPIEDRIGHT LMNOP IN U.S.A. BY NETFLIX ANIMATION NOT MEANT TO BE CONSUMED ORALLY", while the left reads "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, ALL LEFTS FREE TO STEAL. APPROVED BY THE NATIONAL BORED OF REVIEWING".

Road to Utopia (1946)
In arguably one of the first examples of this sort of joke in a movie ever, one scene has Bob Hope notice a mountain in the Yukon. When Bing Crosby asks what's notable about it, it becomes the Paramount logo.

And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)
This film recreating various Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches features the 20th Century Vole parody from before, this time saying "20th Century Frog" (since the original "Twentieth-Century Vole" sketch doesn't feature in this film). The MGM segment has a croaking frog replacing the vole, and the background is blue. This same parody would later appear in the opening credits of the 1982 film Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
The film's climax takes place at a theater where the stage backdrop is the 1929 RKO Radio Pictures logo.

The Shaggy D.A. (1976)
The animated opening credits sequence begins with a sheepdog sleeping inside a doghouse whose door resembles the MGM logo, and the dog screams in a manner similar to Leo the Lion. The words in the ribbon are "Canis Corpore Transmuto" (the magic words that transformed Wilby into "The Shaggy Dog").

Hardware Wars (1978, 1997 special edition)

 * This cult short film, a direct parody of the Star Wars: A New Hope trailer begins with a parody of the then current 1953 logo saying "20th Century Foss" (referring to the shorts' actual director Ernie Fosselius). The fanfare is a drumroll and one long "ta-da" like note (also for some reason "Foss" repeatedly glows white).
 * The unofficial 1997 "Special edition", made to attack the then-relevant special editions of the original trilogy, contains two logo jokes: 20th Century Foss is updated in CGI to a parody of the 1994 20th Century Fox logo, and before this is a silent THX Broadway parody reading "ZZZ: The audience is tired of logos. Start the movie already!".

Attila Flagello di Dio (1982)
Attila the Hun and two other men walk down a path and encounter the Columbia Torch Lady.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)
A scene appears during the middle of the movie during which the 1940s "A Paramount Picture" logo appears on a TV set. A woman seeing the logo on TV turns off the set after the logo fades out.

Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)
The eponymous movie within the movie begins with the actual Universal International logo (obtained as the real movie is indeed Universal), complete with the This Island Earth theme.

UHF (1989)
On the 2002 MGM DVD release of this movie, in the commentary, "Weird Al" Yankovic comments over the 2001 MGM logo saying "Hey, I don't remember this lion from the movie", and sings lyrics to the Orion Pictures jingle: "Orion! Orion is bankrupt now!"

Repossessed (1990)
Following the Seven Arts logo is a parody of THX "Broadway". It starts with a grey rectangle and the phrase in Arial bold reads "THE AUDIENCE IS HEARING". The company name is BFD which is sandwiched by two lines above and below. The byline above and below respectively reads "LOGANWORKS LTD." and "SOUND PROCESS". A short version of the official 1983 Deep Note is present, with gassy sounds and unintelligible noises.

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny (2006)
Before the New Line Cinema logo, a short animation made by John Kricfalusi (of Ren and Stimpy fame) plays spoofing THX. The animation shows chibi versions of Tenacious D members Jack Black and Kyle Gass (which had been previously used in John K's "F*** Her Gently" video) preparing a "Tenacious sound check": eating a large burrito and forming the Deep Note entirely out of flatulence. The finished product reads "THC: The Audience is Now Baking."

Tropic Thunder (2008)
Before the DreamWorks and Red Hour logos, there are three fake trailers, showing a spoof of the MPAA bumper (reading "This trailer is approved for audiences"), Universal Pictures (a remake of the 1997 logo), New Line Cinema, and Fox Searchlight Pictures (both bylineless).

The Invention of Lying (2009)
The logo for the fictional studio Lecture Films features a blue outline of a director in his chair, surrounded by a semi-circle of stars a la Paramount. Below it is the words "Lecture Films" in a font similar to Paramount script.

To set the mood, as the film is about the making of the original Doctor Who, it begins with the 1963 BBC logo.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016)
The same Fox piano variant from the original movie is used, albeit near the beginning rather than over the literal opening logo.

La La Land (2016, Lionsgate) and the 74th Golden Globe Awards (2017)
A CinemaScope snipe similar to the 1953 20th Century Fox logo is used. Atop the CinemaScope logo is "PRESENTED IN" in the same font as the one used in the TCF logos.

The Disaster Artist (2017)
Near the end, when The Room is being unveiled to an audience for the first time, both of the actual Wiseau Films logos play in order. Tommy Wiseau (as played by James Franco) flatly comments to Greg Sestero (as played by Dave Franco), "I have two different logos". (This is actually an anachronism, the original print of The Room only has the first logo with the second not even existing yet. Most likely this was done deliberately for humor, as demanding two logos does seem like the type of bizarre unconventional request Wiseau would have demanded for some reason).

Прабабушка лёгкого поведения. Начало (2021, Russia)
A modern recreation of the Mosfilm logo is featured, but the text is different.

Silly Symphonies (1929-1939)
The short "Mother Goose Goes Hollywood" (1938) opens with a parody of the MGM logo, with a goose "roaring" in the circle. The inscription on the ribbon reads "ERTZNAY TO OUYAY" (Pig Latin for "Nertz to You").

 * "Porky's Snooze Reel" (1941) has a parody of Pathé News called "Passe News", in which we see a rooster silhouette by the farm watching the sun set. The rooster then flaps its wings, ready to shout, but it puts down its wings and says in a human voice, "Cock-a-doodle-doo."


 * "Meet John Doughboy" (1941) has a parody of the RKO "Radio Tower" logo. The text above the tower reads "PORKY PIG PRESENTS", and the Morse code is replaced by razzing noises which slowly go down in pitch as the tower droops.


 * Yet another MGM parody is featured in "Bacall to Arms" (1946), with the logo above a banner reading "Warmer News".
 * "Bunny Hugged" (1951) contains a reference to Rank Organization when a gong is used to introduce Ravishing Ronald.

Tom and Jerry (1940-1967)
The ending of "Switchin' Kitten" (1961) has Jerry climbing into a mouse hole decked out with an MGM ribbon. His face gets a bit more vicious as he roars with the MGM lion roar sound.

Ograblenie po... (1978)
The opening frames include a parody of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo, with Cheburashka replacing the MGM lion.

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)
In one scene, there is a red van entering the Cagliostro Castle with an "NBK-TV" logo, which is a parody of the "NHK" logo. The same logo can be seen on a TV screen in the royal wedding scene when the broadcast of the royal wedding has been cut out, but it was read as "NKB-TV" instead of "NBK-TV".

Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) (1980)
There is a cameo appearance by the 1975 Paramount logo during the film on an airplane in-flight movie, consisting of the Peanuts Gang sitting on their seats on the plane, and on a screen, we see a movie countdown leader, followed by a shot of the finished Paramount Pictures mountain logo (with the Gulf+Western byline in blue instead of the usual white). This appeared before a film-within-a-film entitled Laughing Bunnies, which Snoopy and Woodstock were laughing out loud at during the film.

Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation (1992)
This 1992 DTV film based off the TV series contains perhaps the most well-known parody out of the other ones on this list... a THX one.

Lupin III: Dead or Alive (1996)
At the beginning of Lupin III's video message as his calling card, a parody of the famous 20th Century Fox logo was shown, but with the titular thief's name instead of the words "20th Century Fox".

Cats Don't Dance (1997)
This MGM parody features the character Woolie the Mammoth, the mascot of the fictional movie studio Mammoth Pictures and mentor of the lead character Danny. Its motto is "Optimum est Maximum", which translates to "Bigger is Better".

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000)
The movie starts with a parody of the Rank Organisation logo, with Goofy hitting a gong with his face on it. Unfortunately, the gong falls onto Goofy's foot after he hits it, and he falls over doing his trademark "Goofy holler" as the gong flips itself over, revealing the title card.

The Spongebob SquarePants Movie (2004)
In the song "Goofy Goober Rock", SpongeBob plays a magical guitar that saves the world. A close-up of the guitar shows its inlays, which feature the Viacom "V of Doom" logo without the name at the bottom.

 * The opening of the film includes a parody of the MGM logo with a reindeer replacing Leo and with Gummibär replacing the mask.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)

 * The movie opens with a parody of the 2002 Marvel Studios logo, with pages from George Perez's original Teen Titans comics flipping rapidly. The camera then zooms out to reveal that the comic book is being read by the seagull who resides outside Titans Tower (as seen at the beginning of most episodes of Teen Titans Go!).
 * Later in the movie, a sign with the 2010 Cartoon Network logo appears. However, the "CARTOON NETWORK" text is from the 2004 logo.

The Weather Girls (1983)

 * In Success (1983), a soundalike of the 20th Century Fox fanfare can be heard in the beginning.

Front 242 (1984, 1987)

 * In No Comment (1984), the second studio album by the Belgian electronic act, the record's side A label and the original release's audio CD booklet uses the famous Mosfilm logo.
 * In the compilation album Back Catalogue (1987), the front cover uses the same Mosfilm logo as a call-back to the aforementioned No Comment album.

a-ha "The Sun Always Shines On TV" music video (1985)
One scene in this music video by the Norwegian group features the Warner Bros. shield and the text "A WARNER BROS.-FIRST NATIONAL PICTURE" next to it, both underneath a "The End" credit. The group were originally signed to Warner Bros. Records (which has been independent from Warner Bros. since 2004), hence the WB-FN reference in the music video.

La Jungle (1991-1992, France)

At the start of the German group's music video, the end credits of Cops, as well as both the Barbour/Langley and Fox Television Stations logos, can be seen on TV screens behind the group.

Hard 'n Phirm - Pi (Music Video, 2005)
The majority of the music video takes place during an episode of a ZOOM parody called ZAP. As such, the music video starts and ends with a spoof of the 1977 WGBH Boston logo, but the text reads "WHNP" instead (referencing the band's name in the process).

Justice - DVNO (Music Video, 2007)
The music video for the titular song by the French house group Justice contains many references to logos such as HBO, Cannon, CBS/Fox Video, and Stephen J. Cannell Productions.

Neil Cicierega's Mouth Sounds (2014)
The seventh track on the album, "Alanis", concludes with a montage of '90s-era television closing logos.

Neil Cicierega's Mouth Dreams (2020)
The fifteenth track on the album, "Cannibals", starts with a montage of infamous '70s-to-'80s-era logos before turning into a mashup of Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy" and the THX Deep Note.

Color TV (???)
This band played the track of Hollywood Home Video (Denmark) in their Song "Paroxeteens" and played the track of PBS' 2nd logo in their song "Night After Night".

Black Eyed Peas - Dirty Dancing (???)
The song samples the Pearl & Dean theme at some points.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Radio, Radio
In the very beginning, the 1936 RKO Radio Pictures logo is shown.

Danny Sky - THX (2018)
The song's cover art has a modified THX logo, with the bottom right-hand side of the X being connected to the underline.

Money Man - 24 (Music Video, 2020)
The beginning of the video shows the song title on a 3DS Max template of the 1994 20th Century Fox logo. This can be seen again at different angles later in the video.

PPC's Shyga! The Sunlight Mound (2021)
The seventh track, "Hats Off to the Green Bins", opens with a sample of the Films Incorporated logo (played in reverse).

Hamlet "Happiness is a Cigar Called Hamlet" campaign (1960s - 1999)
One 1982 advertisement in this series concerns a Channel 4 logo parody (using a generic news fanfare instead of the real music). The blocks at first form a 5 with the fanfare dying down. It "rewinds" with a VHS effect and forms a severely botched 4. As the recognizable "Air on a G String" starts, the botched shape forms a sad face. A cigar (as another block) appears and flies in its mouth, turning it into a happy face.

Kia-Ora (1970's)
A parody of the Columbia Pictures logo. This British cinema advert features a female vendor in place of the Torch Lady, the torch is replaced with a cup of Kia-Ora, and the Columbia text is replaced with Kia-Ora text. The camera zooms into the drink while an announcer says "Never has such a refreshing experience been offered at this or any other cinema. Kia-Ora. On sale at this moment in time."

Kmart's 20th Anniversary (1981)
In Kmart's 20th Anniversary commercials, the "20 Grand Years of Saving" logo is a parody of the 20th Century Fox logo.

In a commercial promoting Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, the Burger King logo seen here is a parody of the 1953 20th Century Fox logo.

KFC's Kentucky Nuggets (1985, Canada)
In one of the Canadian KFC Kentucky Nuggets commercials from the 1980s, the logo seen at the end is a parody of the 1953 20th Century Fox logo.

McDonald's Double Features (1986-1991)

 * McDonald's "Double Features" commercials were known for promoting double fries and double cheeseburgers. At the beginning of some of its commercials, they parody film companies. For example, in the USA in 1986, they parody the original RKO Radio Pictures logo.
 * In the UK from 1989 to 1991, the opening is a parody of the 20th Century Fox logo.

McDonald's Germany (2019)

 * On one ad for the Stars of America 2019, a structure similar to the 1994 20th Century Fox logo is used, but it reads "STARS OF AMERICA" instead. There are no accompanying searchlights.

Pizza Hut (UK ad, 1994)
Three separate BBC 2 logos are referenced. It begins with a replica of the "paint" ident (right down to the real music; it is likely they got the whole logo legitimately). A man shows up in the logo and announces "Two pizzas for the price of one when you...uh...(takes out brush and paints the "screen" in the same turquoise) hit the hut." Later on, during a live-action scene at a Pizza Hut, the metallic 2 falls onto a family's table in the same fashion as the "blade" ident. (The father, unfazed, only remarks that it is "gonna let someone's eye out"). Finally, the "powder" ident is parodied using Pizza Hut's own logo, and appropriately, flour instead of the powder.

Dreher Brewery (2000s)
Several ads for this Hungarian beer company featured spoofs of famous movie logos, including 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, and Universal Pictures.

Jetix (2000s, UK)
At the beginning of the promo for back-to-back episodes of Jackie Chan Adventures and Totally Spies!, the music from the Meridian Television ident is heard.

Tostitos (2016)
A recent series of commercials for Tostitos, parodying telenovelas, begins with a spoof of the Televisa logo.

Oasis/Deadpool 2 Cross-Promotion Commercial (2018)
This commercial for this French soft drink cross-promoting Deadpool 2 opens with a Fox parody, the tower reading "Oasis Box Offruice". The actual theme plays (albeit shortened, resembling the television logo) plays, which Deadpulp (an anthropomorphic strawberry version of Deadpool) sings along to. During the second half of the fanfare, he also forms a duck shadow puppet and quacks along to the first four notes, although this is cut short by a zoom out (the rest of the logo still plays on Deadpulp's projector screen though).

Umaibou Commercial (2014)
The commercial for Umaibou (a brand of Japanese snack) opens on Mt. Fuji (Sochiku) near some rocks and waves (Toei) with what appears to be the background for the Toho logo. The text "やおきん" zooms in, with a yellow circle in the middle. Umaimon then jumps out of the circle and screams (MGM). As the waves crash among the rocks, various packages of Umaibou jump out of the waves.

Mountain Dew Commercial (2021)
On a Mountain Dew Ice commercial parodying Korean dramas, a parody of the logo of the South Korean TV network tvN appears, changed to read "MTN" for "Mountain Dew", with "MT" in smaller capital letters.

Homestar Runner (1996-)

 * The first two Christmas (or Decemberween) toons begin with a CBS Special Presentation parody (using the actual jingle!). The parody has just the lone word "Special" spinning around towards the center of the screen before stopping there.
 * The toon "The Luau" also uses the CBS Special Presentation jingle for a transition. (Bizarrely, this is kept on the DVD release, but not the two Decemberween examples.)
 * The Strong Bad Email "best thing" opens up the fictional lost cartoon Limozeen: But They're in Space with "Metalmation", a Filmation parody. It consists of just rainbow like letters appearing against a gray gradient. It does not appear to be parodying any one logo of theirs (possibly the 5th) but just their font and habit for having made the kind of bad shows spoofed.
 * The Strong Bad Email "theme song", in the "life-affirming pop-ballad type theme song", contains what could be a brief Stephen J. Cannell allusion when SB, seated at the Lappy 486, flings some papers.
 * In the 2015 Halloween video "The House That Gave Sucky Tricks", suiting his rectangular shape, Strong Mad's Halloween costume is the TiVo TV set (albeit only reading "TV" with the two removed letters replaced by dots to complete the smiley face)

CollegeHumor (2000-)

 * The video "Pixar Intro Parody" is exactly what the title says, depicting the Pixar lamp jumping on the "I", getting thrown in jail as a result, and meeting its untimely demise in the electric chair.

The Angry Video Game Nerd (2004-)

 * The beginning of "The Wizard of Oz" has a parody of the MGM logo. Mike Matei, dressed up as the Cowardly Lion, growls in the MGM circle, but above him is "Cinemassacre" and below him, replacing the mask, is the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon prism, a reference to the "Dark Side of the Rainbow" urban legend (which states that said album syncs with said movie). In the copyright notice, you can notice Roman numerals that counts the lion's roars beside the "at" symbol, another reference to said legend (since the sync only occurs when the album starts playing after the second roar).
 * The opening and endings of "Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout" and "Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle" are a parody of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies IDs:
 * "Birthday Blowout" begins with the parody with a black background and red rings with the Nerd's head replacing the WB shield, looking angry, with "WARNER BROS. PICTURES INC." replaced by "GAMETRAILERS.COM & SCREWATTACK.COM" with "Presents" in a different font. The copyright now reads "COPYRIGHT 2007 BY THE CINEMASSACRE CORP. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" the number code is replaced by "NINTENDO". "LOONEY TUNES" now reads "THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD" "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON Color by TECHNICOLOR" also now reads "A JAMES D. ROLFE GAME REVIEW TITLES BY MIKE MATEI". The video ends with a parody of the "Porky in a Drum" outro. "LOONEY TUNES" reads "THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD", "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" remains intact but "WARNER BROS" is replaced by "CINEMASSACRE", Porky is replaced with the Nerd who says "Th-th-th-th-th-That's all, f***s!" as he flips the watcher off.
 * "Crazy Castle" begins the same way as Birthday Blowout but the rings are now purple, and the Nerd now has a shocked face. One of the title cards parody the "Blue Ribbon" Merrie Melodies title card but "MERRIE MELODIES" is replaced with "CINEMASSACRE PRESENTS". The ending has the 1st opening card but the Nerd's head is not there, but instead the "That's all f***s!" script wipes in.
 * In the episode "Superman 64", while about to review the infamous Superman 64, The Nerd adds a brief description to the Titus logo shown at the beginning of the game, saying "First, you're greeted by a smiling cartoon fox." His statement turns questionable when he notices the name and says, "Titus? What the f*** is that?"

Ashens (2006-)

 * At the end of Stuart Ashens' 2008 video Noseybonk Returns: Jigsaw, the 1965 Screen Gems logo is parodied. The logo starts like usual with slightly higher-pitched music, but the red line coming in from the top is more straight. The two lines move together and become parallel vertically as a third piece spins in to form an 'N'. The url 'NOSEYBONK.COM' zooms in below, taking the place of 'SCREEN GEMS'. Once the music finishes, the face of Noseybonk (a character from the classic British TV show Jigsaw, infamous for his rather creepy appearance) zooms in on the middle of the 'N'.

Nigahiga (2006-)
The channel has done several parody trailers, all of which begin with the logo spoofs: a Warner Bros shield with "<3" inside the shield and the "LESS THAN THREE" on the banner, Paramount is "Paramound", Universal is "Universowhat", and an MGM spoof that has Ryan's dog, Marley replacing the lion with no text on the ribbon.

Oversimplified (2006-)
On the video "Napoleonic Wars - Part 2", after Napoleon tells Ferdinand that he is the biggest cluster of shameless narcissistic idiots, he hands him a Nickelodeon blimp, which is parodied as "Nickapoleon" and he says "Here, have a Kids' Choice Reward."

PewDiePie (2010-)

 * Ever since 2020, his intro has been a parody of the Cocomelon intro.
 * In the 124th episode of LWIAY, when he said "Huge D***", the DiC logo shows up as he says "D***".

Rifftrax (2006-)
In the tradition of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Rifftrax would sometime reference famous logos and even riff on logos, mostly in shorts.

 * In some of their Marvel episodes, images from HISHE episodes flip downward, and then fade to red in their parody of the Marvel logo. The word "MARVEL" is replaced by HISHE".
 * In "Bonus Features | Spider-Man Far From Home HISHE", in the "Are You Two Dating?" scene, a girl and man have parody versions of the Sony and Disney logo on their heads (The Disney script is slightly different, and "SONY" is in Gill Sans instead of a serif.)

Nostalgia Critic (2007-)

 * In his review of Exorcist II: The Heretic, when Kokumo (James Earl Jones) "roars" into the camera, the Critic remarks: "Could that intro be any more silly? That could be the new logo for the MGM lion!" We then see Kokumo inside the MGM logo and he "roars" in sync with Leo's roars.
 * In his review of the 2003 film version of The Cat in the Hat, the Critic is angered by a blatant product placement and suggests a new Dr. Seuss logo. The result is the 1971 Cat in the Hat Productions logo with a clip from Tom and Jerry: The Movie with Lickboot saying "We've GOT to have...moneyyyy" appearing within the circle, followed by a clip of the live-action Cat from the movie saying "Cha-ching!".
 * In his review of Fantastic Four (2015), the Critic acknowledges how the 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning of the film flashes the letter "F" similar to how it flashes the letter "X" before the X-Men films. He then goes on to say, "Honestly, if you want to give us any assurance you'd flash this...." The 2009 logo then appears with yellow text saying "WE GOT DEADPOOL RIGHT!" in front of "FOX" and text below it saying "EVENTUALLY." (obviously referencing the character's highly-criticized appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) appears as the logo is fading out.
 * The Critic has also used the 1985-2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo in white usually on the corner of the screen multiple times in his reviews of Jungle 2 Jungle, Bridge to Terabithia, I'll Be Home For Christmas, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice, usually as a joke for scenes that don't seem appropriate for Disney films (YouTube cartoon reviewer PhantomStrider has also adopted this trend). He also has a parody of the logo as the intro to his "Disneycember" series of videos.
 * In his review of The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, The Critic acknowledges that the film's Universal logo variant says "Univershell" but the URL, (which he shows a closeup of) shows the company's real name.
 * On the Critic's riff of the Superman cartoon "Destruction Inc.," the Critic says over the 1938 Paramount Cartoons logo, "Paramount will stop making Transformers movies when you stop watching them."
 * In his review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Critic makes a joke out of the film's special 20th Century Fox logo variation, where the logo fades into a dark, run-down structure: "Whoa, I guess that Disney merger didn't go as well as expected. They can survive Cleopatra, but not the mouse?"
 * Two logo references occur in his video about the 1997 Mr. Magoo live-action film:
 * The 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo is seen as it appears on the film proper, with the overly whimsical opening theme of the film playing over it. This annoys Critic, leading him to make a joke about how already the first second of the film was annoying him: "Eh, there's only 5,492 to go!". (On a side note, this is inaccurate: he miscalculated the length of the 87-minute film as 91 minutes.)
 * Later on, Critic makes a jab at a bizarre hat worn by a character by likening it to an incomplete iris out. This is followed by a bit of an iris out actually being stuck in place to form the hat, the Looney Tunes ending version of "Merrily We Roll Along" playing up until it gets stuck.
 * In the video on Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the Columbia logo variant of the film (the entire logo is sped-up with a flaming sound) is heavily criticized by both Critic and guest MikeJ as being overtly ADD and an abuse of editing techniques. Critic makes a jab that the entire movie might as well have been that overtly sped-up and shows a hypothetical cut of it, consisting entirely of Ghost Rider telling the audience "I was Ghost Rider. Bye!" and end credits.
 * In his review of Alien 3, Critic jokes that the 20th Century Fox logo is "confused about what it's supposed to be", referring to its logo variation where the theme slows down and becomes more suspenseful. He adds that it might have realized that it was in Alien 3, and a gag is shown of it running off.
 * The ending animation of the current Nostalgia Critic intro (first used on his review of Hancock) spoofs the 1982 HBO feature presentation opening.

TomSka & Friends (2007-)
At the beginning of Thomas The Tank Engine Is Darker Than You Think, the 1989 Britt Allcroft Company logo is parodied.

Cracked (2008-)
In the video "Trailer for Quentin Tarantino's Gay Revenge Fantasy", the fake trailer begins with the A Band Apart logo.

PeanutButterGamer (2009-)
At the end of the episode "Sonic Cartoon," a review of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, the 1990 variant of the DiC "Kid in Bed" plays as normal, except when "DiC" appears, Sonic.exe is shown, and the voiceover is distorted. It then cuts to the bed, with PBG saying "We watch your children sleep at night."

The JonTron Show (2010-)

 * In the episode "Home Improvement", Jon jokes about the Absolute logo, saying they "Absolutely copied Sierra's logo", as a print logo of Sierra replaces the pyramid in Absolute's logo.
 * In the episode "A Talking Cat?!?", Jon comments on the Phase 4 Films logo, "Oh look, this film was produced by the Fantastic 4. I'm really liking what they've done with it here" as he superimposes the Fantastic 4 logo next to the film company's.
 * He continues, "I guess this is as good a time as any to show you guys my new revamped logo." We then go to an MGM parody. The "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" is missing, "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is replaced by "JonTron Studios, "JON" and "TRON" on either side replacing "TRADEMARK" and the Normal Boots URL is below the ribbons. The lion is replaced by Jon, imitating a cat coughing up a furball.

Funny Horsie (2010 - 2016)
This YouTube series which imitates a (very short and extremely weird) lost British children's program ends almost every episode (Episode 20 was the only one that didn't, instead using a parody) with a parody logo (and before Episode 7 begins too). Most of them reference real ones, mostly for 80s UK companies. (Starting with Episode 15, though, this was mostly dialed back and most episodes just ended with a random real company's logo).

Full list of logos referenced:
 * Episode 2: A Thames parody "Bumarse" with someone badly singing the real jingle.
 * Episode 3: A company just named for Kim Wilde is given a Central parody with a human head in place of the globe and another bad acapella version of the original music.
 * Episode 5: Bollocks Television, a Border Television parody.
 * Episode 6: "Television Television Television Television Television Vision", a Tyne Tees parody (likely the 1979 logo in particular)
 * Episode 7: One of only two episodes to have the logo be for the actual creator Chridoff rather than any fictional company, the logo in question being the Cannon CGI Hexagon with Chridoff's name in place of "Cannon".
 * Episode 8: The logos now no longer being based off a real company, the logo is for "Rape Productions" with a byline claiming "Not to be confused with RapeVision Inc, a religious and charitable organization" an obvious reference to the debacle over WorldVision inc.
 * Episode 12: "Courtney Love Productions", contains her saying "I made this" in what is probably a Ten Thirteen Productions reference.
 * Episode 15: The entire episode's end credits are just ripped from A Clockwork Orange, including the incredit Warner Bros. logo with Kinney byline.
 * Episode 16: Opens with a parody of a BBC 2 "this weekend" promo complete with logo, whereas the ending logo is the BBC logo along with the credits ofMan Alive.
 * Episode 17: The whole episodes end credits are ripped from a 90s era Neighbours episode including the Grundy Television logo.
 * Episode 18: The 1994 Border Television logo is used with the credits of an unknown show.
 * Episode 19: The 80s Saban globe plays along with the credits of the failed pilot for the American version of the anime Maple Town.
 * Episode 21: Border is parodied again, this time by its actual name, for a fake opening. The ending uses the David Paradine Productions logo along with the credits of the TV movie Voices.
 * Episode 22: opens with a Channel 4 ident and ends with the H. Barton Wasserman logo from The Alphabet.

Caddicarus (2011-)

 * In his video on the 1999 PC game LEGOLAND, series creator and host Jim Caddick references how Disneyland had used real human bones on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. After this is a parody of the 1985 Walt Disney Pictures logo where Jim lazily sings along with the fanfare and THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH slides down. During the ending flute flourish, the screen goes up in fiery red flames as flashing demon/zombie heads appear, and the singing becomes distorted.
 * In his video on the infamously cancelled PlayStation title Thrill Kill, Caddick tears into the Virgin Interactive "Throbbing Eye" logo stating that it alone should have gotten the game banned.
 * In The Nightmare World of Dreamworks Games, before going over Madagascar on the GameCube, the first DreamWorks Animation logo is shown with him saying he's seen the kid on the moon so many times to the point where he wants the kid to fall. This joke would later be redone in The Pitiful World of Pixar Games with the current Pixar logo, preceding the Brave segment.
 * In The Awful World of Skateboarding Games, he considers the fifth Fox Interactive logo as absolutely nonsensical, and that it's a sad thing that this logo alone makes more sense than the rest of the game in question, that being The Simpsons Skateboarding.

Creationist Cat (2011-)
A parody of the MGM logo. Creationist Cat appears in the circle, opens his mouth, yelling "JESUSSSSS!" The mask is replaced with Jesus tied to a cross, the circle has the phrase "SUPERUS DUPOR CATTUS", and the text "Creationist Cat Ministries" in gold appear below. The text shines a bit.

Honest Trailers (2012)
The 100th video of this Screen Junkies series, which parodies trailers to films, TV shows and video games, opens with a shout-out to the then-current Marvel Studios logo.

Chadtronic (2013- )
Since 2016, the channel's videos have usually ended with a Nickelodeon-esque logo, with an orange blob morphing into the channel logo and a copyright date with "Chadtronic Studio Productions". In the video "CRINGE THE COMPUTER", after the animation is finished, the screen quickly zooms in, as Chad says "OK, these guys are plagiarizing Nickelodeon. It is OBVIOUS at this point; COME ON!", referencing a line from earlier in the video.

Arlo (2014-)
From 2017 onwards, this gaming-commentary-delivered-with-puppetry channel's opening intro has been a parody of the Nintendo Switch start-up. Two simply drawn halves of Arlo's face act as the joycons.

SuperMarioLogan (2007-)
On the SML Movie "Bowser goes to the Movies!", at the beginning of "Charleyyy and Friends: The Movie", a parody of the MGM logo is seen, in which Leo is replaced with Charleyyy making 3 noises. "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is replaced with "Charleyyy and Friends".

Jon Sandman (2016-)

 * Jon Sandman sings along on the DreamWorks Animation theme saying "Rocket League Time".

SiIvaGunner (2016-)
This YouTuber (formerly known as GiIvaSunner, the third letter is a capital "I" instead of a lowercase "L"), who uploads "high quality rips" (referring to the process of mashing up a video game song with another song or doing some other weird editing with it and uploading it with no indication of its edited nature) of video game music, has given the treatment to several video game logo jingles. A list of all the video game BIOs and logos he has ripped and what was changed in them are:


 * Sega CD (US version): The jingle is mashed up to the vocals of "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.
 * Nintendo GameCube: The jingle is mashed into "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson in such a way so that it perfectly syncs up to the song's bassline.
 * Sega: The "SEGAAAA", rather than going into the "AAAAA", trails into "Loud Nigra" (a recurring audio clip in SiIv's videos of an African male screaming in an inhuman fashion).
 * Mega CD (Japan): The music is recreated entirely with vocal samples from "Gangnam Style" by PSY.
 * Sega (2nd): Same as before but a different portion of Loud Nigra.
 * Nintendo Gamecube (2nd): The "they're all gonna laugh at you" scene from Carrie(with Vinny from Vinesauce laughing thrown in) is heard for a long period before jarringly going into the "z button down" version of the actual GameCube jingle.
 * Nintendo DS: The music and visuals are edited to resemble YouTuber GradeAUnderA's intro.
 * Sega (3rd): Similar to the first two, but it trails into "AH. Call Mr. Rental!". (from a commercial for Australian electronic rental service Mr. Rental, another recurring tidbit in SiIv's videos)
 * Nintendo (Luigi's Mansion): No audio from the actual logo is heard, rather the 3-second long video is just an audio clip from Games Repainted of someone going "Oh my god, Fred Fuchs".
 * Nintendo (Kirby's Dream Land 3, the "French version" as the title jokingly says it originates from): The logo's audio is edited to be the theme of French YouTuber Joueur Du Grenier.
 * PlayStation: The logo's music is simply glitched-up with no rhyme or reason (this rip wasn't meant to be humorous so much as create speculation about the ongoing storyline in the rips).
 * GameCube (OST Version): The audio is entirely replaced by the "music" of the bootleg game Crazy Bus.
 * Nintendo Switch: When the clicking noise occurs, it creates an explosion as a male voice is heard screaming (this is a parody of infamous shock video The Love Plug).
 * PlayStation 3: The actual logo is not utilized, but the 3 minute video is a mashup of the songs "Abe's Dead" by The Lego Pornstars and "We Fly High" by Jim Jones. This rip was part of a storyline where Chad Warden, a former YouTube troll who presented himself as a die-hard PS3 supporter, "took over" the channel. Almost every rip uploaded during this period was a mashup with "Abe's Dead". "We Fly High" was in reference to it being the actual Chad Warden's intro/outro music.

Additionally, a couple of non-BIOS rips have references to non-video game logos:


 * One of his rips of "Ultimate Koopa" from Super Mario 64 (the "OST Version" as the title jokingly calls it) is the beginning of the theme transiting into the THX Tex trailer via turning into the Deep Note.
 * The Gracie Films logo is a minor joke on the channel, with it's first occurrence being Quiet's Theme (Beta Mix) - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The first rip to have a song rearranged to the Gracie Films theme was Act Clear (Beta Mix) - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.
 * Additionally, Options - Mr. Rental: The Video Game" (which is a game that does not exist, with the "rip" actually being an original animation featuring Rental) concludes with a Gracie Films parody wherein the screen displays "Grand Films" and the jingle is synced to a bit of the theme to The Flintstones rendered in 8-bit (Both of which allude to the bootleg game 7 GRAND DAD, with said 8-bit Flintstones theme being used in said game and being the single most prominent running joke on the channel). Also the chattering has been replaced with different chattering. (This whole clip was made by YouTuber Lu9 under his channel "CIosingLogosHD", again with the L being an uppercase I, who used to give the same treatment to logos.)
 * Opening - Star Fox 64: The beginning transits to the 20th Century Fox fanfare.
 * Opening Fanfare (CD Version) - Donkey Kong Country: The entire track is sampled with the videotaped version of the 1976 Viacom logo, with its normal theme also taking place of the last note. The Screen Gems TV logo supposedly can also be heard later in the background.
 * "Underwater (Super Mario Bros.) - Ultimate Angler / StreetPass Fishing" has the song that sounds like the Nickelodeon Movies logo from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
 * Extra Life (REV01) - Sonic the Hedgehog: The jingle is rearranged to sound like the 1976 Paramount Television fanfare.
 * The three Bananas in Pyjamas rips all reference the infamous MS Paint "webseries" Greeny Phatom, while Detention Center ~ Elegy of the Security Guards (Beta Mix) is a rip for the show's intro.
 * At the beginning, they all have the Sony Wonder logo, the Hanna-Barbera Productions logo (possibly a reference to 7 Grand Dad), and the Cinar logo. The Phoenix Wright rip, and only that rip, features 8-bit Flintstones ditties in the background of the first two logos.
 * At the end, they show the "Grand Films" parody mentioned above, and the logos at the beginning (with a couple only showing Sony Wonder after said parody; the intro rip excludes all of these).
 * At the end of the It's Party Time rip, the Sony Wonder logo zooms out and flies off the screen in an Undertale death fashion.

Nick Knacks (2017 - )
This edutainment YouTube series by poparena about Nickelodeon's history, in its episode about By the Way (actually a review of Nick's late 70s aesthetic, as said show is completely lost), has segments where he tears into both variations of the first Nick ID on the page (The Young People's Satellite Network):


 * 1st variation (no music): "Hey, you know what screams wholesome entertainment? A child in a dark room, no music playing, only the persistent hum of antique machinery, the child approaching a flickering white light that reveals a picture of an old-timey man looking into our logo. That's what kids want. That's what parents want. That's what people paying for cable want... I'm sorry but have you EVER seen such a dreary ad campaign?"
 * 2nd variation (music): (in direct retort to the lines of the narrator): "We took everything that was bad about children's television... like 'color' and 'energy', and got rid of it, and took everything that was good, like old-timey music and the darkness of DEATH, and made it better."

He also looks at the Nickelodeon Mime ID, his one comment being that he "had nothing on Coco" (a character from Nick's first ever show Pinwheel)

The Bartman Reanimated Collab (2019)

 * This version of The Simpsons ' "Do The Bartman" music video, animated by various online animators, features a parody of the Gracie Films logo, with a crudely drawn Bart and Sergeant John Captain, also known as simply Tankman, who is the Newgrounds mascot, in the theater. Captain shushes, and the text "NEWGROUNDS" is projected onto the screen, and the familiar theme plays. After the music ends, another man with an afro-looking haircut peeks his head into view, later standing up, revealing he is holding a gun. He shoots himself in a cartoony fashion, falling over, and Captain stands up with his hands out in shock.
 * Another parody that follows features the 1995 20th Century Fox Television logo. The logo is crudely drawn, with the colors similar to the 2008 version, and the structure reads "20th Century Whatever". The 1989 fanfare is heard. Bart is also seen on the left, floating and tied to three balloons.

SpongeBob Band Geeks Reanimated Collab (2019)

 * This version of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Band Geeks", also animated by various online animators, features a reference to the Gracie Films logo. The text "Gracie Films" is on a blue screen while Squidward is talking to Plankton in a theater. A few theater patrons turn their heads to Squidward and start shushing him.

Studios Idéfix (1974-1978)
The logo has a parody of MGM. The background is red, the circle is rounded with a crown of laurel. In addition, Idéfix replaces Leo, and "Ars Gratia Artis" is replaced by "Delirant isti romani" ("That romans are crazy", an expression said by Obélix, in Latin).

BBC Christmas Tape (1979)
A spoof of a BBC 1 logo appears after a montage of other images and stuff, resembling the 1975 Christmas logo, but the the "Christmas" text is in a different font and in red and the globe is the usual "Mirror Globe" but is in metallic blue with the continents being in some kind of bumpy gold texture. A voice, which is continuing from the previous images, says "...and this is, uh, what is this?" After he says that, the globe slowly turns to a film reel and the BBC 1 logo on the bottom changes to the cursive text "Good King Memorex". A different voice (Kenny Everett) says "This is Good King Memorex, a show with a royal title, featuring no royalty whatsoever! ...after what happened last year." The same logo appears at the end with a little ditty played on a music box. It looks like the same logo at the beginning, but the film reel is in place of the globe. The BBC1 logo disappears for the text in the same cursive font "Produced by Grant Watkins"

Gravette High School 1981 Yearbook (Gravette, AR)
The MGM lion logo appears on the cover as part of a movie theme for the yearbook. Interestingly, the street name where the school is located is 325 Lion Dr S., which explains the school's mascot, the lion.

The opening shows logos for several film companies, but without the company name. The logos seen in the show opening include Columbia Pictures, MGM, The Rank Organisation, and Paramount Pictures.

Quantum Link (1980s)
We see the intro of the 1927 Universal "Airplane Passing Globe" logo, with the biplane flying around it, but then there's a freeze-frame and the blue text "Quantum Link" zooms in, followed by the text "Bringing Computers to Life".

A to Zap! (1995)
At the beginning of this game, the Sunburst logo, which parodies the 20th Century Fox logo is seen, and several searchlights turn on with a 7-note fanfare playing. After the fanfare finishes, the Sunburst logo opens to reveal a pink rabbit. The rabbit pops out and screams, parodying the MGM logo. Click here to see the parody.

Hikaru Ijuin's Mysterious Radio Dispatch Base (Satellaview, 1996)
One of the title cards used for this Satellaview program features an illustration of a pink version of Mount Fuji and the small black Kanji text "伊集院光の" arranged in an arc above the peak of the volcano, with bigger Kanji text in the same stylization reading "怪電波発信基地" in the center of the screen, a spoof of the Paramount Pictures logo.

The Curse of Monkey Island (a.k.a. Monkey Island 3) (1997)
Following the difficulty selection screen, this LucasArts video game inspired by 1990s animated films opens with a parody of the THX logo, with the letters "CMI" (Curse of Monkey Island) inside a blue rectangle and the text "The Monkeys are listening..." below it. The music consists of a Deep Note soundalike, accompanied by the sounds of monkeys chattering and then screeching as the sound reaches its peak.

If the player gets three stars on all the missions of the game, it will trigger a cutscene, letting the player know they earned the Dreamworks Medal of Valor with the crew at DreamWorks Interactive congratulating them for earning it. The medal can be found on display among the other medals in the War Records section.

A CG shows Angie Yonaga, Himiko Yumeno, Tenko Chabashira, K1-B0, and Tsumugi Shirogane in front of a background similar to that of the Toho logo, complete with the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles logo in white and the yellow text "Ultimate Academy Student Council" below (though they are shifted away from their usual positions due to the characters being in front of the logo.)

On the Piggywood Studios level screen, the Angry Birds theme is rearranged in the style of the 20th Century Fox fanfare.
