A '''Motif Merger''' is a stylistic 'beat' sometimes used during a crossover. It's when both 'sides' have certain things that are their trademarks, and (during the crossover) there's a symbolic moment where the two motifs are either swapped or combined.

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The logo for DC's current{{when}} ''[[Superman]]/[[Batman]]'' series is Superman's shield logo inside a bat logo. [

* Devils Due's ''[[G.I. Joe]] VS Transformers'' used a mash-up between the Cobra and Decepticon symbols in advertisements, but not in the actual comic (except to separate issues in the collected edition).
== [[Film]] ==
* The movie ''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]'' had a moment of mixing icons: a slow pan down from tree level, coming down onto a sign reading "Elm Street", while the soundtrack played the ''Friday the 13th'' "ki-ki-ki-ki, ma-ma-ma-ma" leitmotif.

* Sometimes two wrestlers forming a tag team will have their respective [[Theme Tune|theme tunes]] and entrances "mashed up".

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'': Mephiles has a sinister-sounding piano [[Leitmotif]] (with a techno remix as his boss fight music). Iblis is accompanied by a bombastic, orchestral score. When the two fuse together to form the [[True Final Boss]] Solaris, the phase 1 boss music is Mephiles' leitmotif, performed by Iblis' bombastic orchestra.
Line 28:
* In the animated DCAU crossover movie "World's Finest", the Bat-Signal (Batman's emblem) is broadcast onto the globe on top of the Daily Planet Building (Superman's).
* The exact logo at the top of the page also appears in "[[Superman/Batman: Public Enemies]]" {{spoiler|on the chest of a giant robot that Toyman, Japanese wunderkind Hiro Okamura, built to destroy a Kryptonite asteroid that would hit Earth. Cut him some slack: he designed it when he was seven.}}
