Some studios have [[Vanity Plate|vanity plates]] that are [[Iconic Logo|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 Cut]]s are also a common form of this.
