| abstract | - Some studios have vanity plates that are recognized everywhere. The moment you see a ring of stars swirling into place above a serene-looking mountain, for example, you know you're looking at a Paramount production. That little kid who tosses a fishing line into the water while sitting in the crook of the moon is instantly recognizable as DreamWorks. Such logos, once they climb to a certain point of universal recognition (no pun intended for those people who are watching a globe spin on their movie screens), are a sure fire form of brand name recognition. Every once in a while, though, a creator will have fun with it. The Vanity Plate will be changed in some way, just enough to put a new spin on it. Match Cuts are also a common form of this. A very specific type of inside joke. A subtrope of Special Edition Title. More examples in the IMDb's Crazy Credits section, or at the Closing Logos Group Wiki Examples of Logo Joke include:
