Sometimes the logos in the Title Sequence just aren't enough. Maybe the companies that made the series, film, or game are taking pride in their work, maybe they just like Easter Eggs and Freeze Frame Bonuses, or maybe they're poking fun at themselves or at the higher-ups. Either way, they're literally leaving their mark within their media, as well as out. Logos are the most common form of this, though other forms, such as direct namedrops and initialisms, exist too. A Sub-Trope of The Cameo. Compare with Creator Cameo; this trope encompasses a company at large, while that trope highlights particular people. The two can possibly overlap, though (such as a game having a Developer's Room based on the company itself, which contains appearances from people who worked on it). See also Product Placement, which in this case is a meta placement of the company itself, Company Cross References, which are nods to other works that are produced or owned by the same studio (or another that they work under), and Console Cameo, where a game references the hardware that it's on. |

Sly Cooper: In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, the racetrack level "At the Dog Track" has a billboard of developers Sucker Punch on one of the first turns. In Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Sanzaru Games' monkey head logo makes several appearances throughout the game, ranging from an insignia on Sly's backpack, to an unlockable Paraglider reskin, to the brand of a collectible branding iron treasure. |

Among the many documents in The Talos Principle, one of them, Progress rep3.eml, is an email detailing the creation of the simulation that makes up the game you're playing (out-of-universe). Part of the email has been corrupted, but if you translate the hex code making up the corruption, it reads that the simulation is built on "the Serious Engine 7.5, which Croteam have kindly made available to us". Croteam is, of course, the company that made The Talos Principle. | |

In artwork for the original Diddy Kong Racing, Timber's hat has the golden R of Rareware's logo on it. In the DS remake it instead has the Nintendo DS logo on it, though Timber's Balloon Pop, a Flash game formerly hosted on Nintendo's official website, instead gave it a Nintendo logo similar to Diddy's cap. | |

The Simpsons pokes fun at the FOX network quite frequently, with examples such as Homer having an Oh, Crap! reaction after accidentally investing in FOX's stocks, or Krusty saying that they're "known for taking chances on crap!". One of the more innocuous jokes involves the family living in the outlands and watching a literal fox sleeping on a rock. Another jab at Fox in the episode When You Dish Upon A Star wound up predicting Fox's sale to Disney decades before it happened, with the Fox logo being labeled "A Division of Walt Disney Co". | |

Kirby references its creators, HAL Laboratory, several times throughout the series: A recurring Easter Egg throughout the series is the HAL Room, so named because it contains those three letters built into the room itself. Other games that don't have such rooms will often find a way to hide the letters elsewhere, such as Kirby's Blowout Blast having coins appear in three separate locations of the final level that are arranged to spell "H", "A", and "L". Starting with Kirby Super Star Ultra, one of the possible transformations of the Stone ability is a golden box with HAL's logo, the Dream Hatcher, on the front of it. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and every later main Kirby title, another possible Stone transformation is HAL Laboratory's Yamanashi R&D Center (with Mt. Fuji in the background). After Kirby repairs the Lor Starcutter, Magolor takes them to his home planet Halcandra, which is named after HAL. Kirby: Triple Deluxe has a collectible Keychain depicting a "Golden Egg Statue", which is the HAL Laboratory logo as it appears in its Stone transformation in Super Star Ultra. Kirby: Planet Robobot has HAL's Dream Hatcher as a collectible sticker that can be placed on Kirby's Robobot Armor, and the villainous Haltmann Works Company is named for them. In the Japanese version of Kirby Star Allies, the Jambastion is called "Jamahalda", and the larger Jambandra Base is called "Majuhalgalor". The three corporations in the background of Kirby and the Forgotten Land are called Holine, Alivel, and Lightron, which spell out "HAL". |

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: Starting with this game, Diddy Kong's red cap has consistently been depicted with a Nintendo logo on it. The title screen shows Diddy and Dixie opening a chest full of loot. Among that loot is the golden R that was part of Rareware's logo at the time (long before it eventually returned to an update of that logo). Cranky's Monkey Museum contains the logos of both Nintendo and Rare among the various objects in the background. The Giant Bananas with Nintendo's logo return from the first game. One appears in Swanky's Bonus Bonanza, and a few appear in the final boss arena, the Flying Krock. |

The Raskulls series likes to include Halfbrick Studios' logo in them: In the original game, the King has a pile of literal half-bricks, which he often ties messages to and uses them as a means of delivering letters to his servants. As a reference to the above, one of the attacks King has in the crossover game Battle Racing Stars is a Brick Throw, where he throws said bricks forward. After upgrading them to level 3 they start resembling Halfbrick's logo, though they're not cut in half like the actual logo is. Magic Brick Wars: In the Mines sections of the game, a Halfbrick logo can be randomly found on the floor. |

The Mario Party 4 minigame "GOOOOOOOAL!!" is set in a soccer stadium. There are advertisements bearing logos on both sides of the stadium wall behind the net: the left side has Mario Party developers Hudson Soft, while the right side has Mario creators Nintendo. Nintendo's logo also changes between regions — blue in the Japanese version of the game, red elsewhere. | |

Even putting its numerous fourth wall breaks aside, Big Mouth often references its host service Netflix. Sometimes it's in a positive context (like in "Pillow Talk," when Nick sobs over his parents grounding him from watching Netflix), sometimes it's more negative (like in "How To Have an Orgasm" when Maury makes fun of the 13 Reasons Why backlash), and sometimes it's a mix of both (Nick gushing about Netflix to Gina in "The Shame Wizard," only for the scene to cut out when he offers to share his password). | |

Our Miss Brooks was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive for most of its radio run (although not its coexisting television run). Palmolive used the program to promote its "Lucky Goldmine" contest in story. For example, in "Game at Clay City" Walter and Harriet try to guess the latest clue. The most notable Company Cameo was in the July 31st, 1949 episode, "Connie's New Job Offer". One morning, Mrs. Davis informed Miss Brooks that the (real) winner of $49,000 was the personal secretary for a mayor of a small New Jersey town. In this story, Miss Brooks had once worked for the same mayor! Connie considers returning to her old job. It was sure to be open now, the secretary having won $49,000 in the Colgate-Palmolive "Lucky Goldmine" Contest! Ultimately, Connie decides against going back to New Jersey and chooses to remain a teacher at Madison High School. | |

Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong Country: Cranky Kong's cabin prominently has the Nintendo logo hanging on the front. The Giant Bananas recovered after beating a boss all have stickers with Nintendo's logo on them. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: Starting with this game, Diddy Kong's red cap has consistently been depicted with a Nintendo logo on it. The title screen shows Diddy and Dixie opening a chest full of loot. Among that loot is the golden R that was part of Rareware's logo at the time (long before it eventually returned to an update of that logo). Cranky's Monkey Museum contains the logos of both Nintendo and Rare among the various objects in the background. The Giant Bananas with Nintendo's logo return from the first game. One appears in Swanky's Bonus Bonanza, and a few appear in the final boss arena, the Flying Krock. The backs of the cards in Donkey Kong Land III's memory match minigame have Rareware's R on them. In artwork for the original Diddy Kong Racing, Timber's hat has the golden R of Rareware's logo on it. In the DS remake it instead has the Nintendo DS logo on it, though Timber's Balloon Pop, a Flash game formerly hosted on Nintendo's official website, instead gave it a Nintendo logo similar to Diddy's cap. Donkey Kong 64: The small arches leading to Tiny Kong's racing mission in Frantic Factory have Rareware's golden R in the middle of them. Throughout the game you collect blueprints that you trade to Snide for Golden Bananas, and when visiting him you can look at the full diagram which is filled out based on which ones you return and from what levels. Chunky Kong's Fungi Forest blueprint has the Rareware logo on it when added to the diagram. Two major collectibles that are required to reach the Final Boss are the Nintendo Coin, which has the N64 logo on it, and the Rareware Coin, emblazoned with the company's golden "R" logo (unlike the Rareware Golden Banana, it doesn't have the blue box surrounding it). Both items are hidden in Embedded Precursors of games made by the companies earlier; Nintendo's is rewarded for completing round 2 of Donkey Kong, while Rare's randomly spawns as a pickup when you earn 5000 or more points in Jetpac, a game made by Rare back when they were known as Ultimate Play The Game. The secret 201st Golden Banana, hidden in a room next to the Banana Fairy Queen's throne room, has a Rareware sticker on it. (The other 200 Golden Bananas spread throughout the game instead have stickers with the Nintendo 64 logo on them.) The final boss battle is a boxing match stated to be "brought to you this evening by Rare and Nintendo in association with K.Rool Enterprises." The arena you fight the final boss in also has the Rareware logo and Nintendo 64's N-cube logo on the sides. The unlockable Rambi Arena and Enguarde Arena minigames take place in stadiums with Rareware and Nintendo's logo adorning the sides. |

Odd Squad: In the episode "Olive and Otto in Shmumberland", the publishing company of the Shmumberman comic series uses the logo of Sinking Ship Entertainment, one of the companies that produces the show. The 100th episode of the show, "The Sandwich Project", has the Mobile Unit agents visiting Pittsburgh, which is the home base of Fred Rogers Productions, the other company that produces the show, although they don't visit the studio (presumably because it's not open to the general public). |

EXTRAPOWER has the Lucky Lamp appear as secret Easter Eggs in EXTRAPOWER: Star Resistance and EXTRAPOWER: Giant Fist. In Star Resistance, the lamp can be found by performing a Final Crash on background objects in stages 3 and 5, and by destroying Mookin's head in Stage 4. On top of granting bonus score, the lamps grant power up, life up, or max life up depending on the stage they're found in. For Giant Fist, the Lucky Lamp is hidden in specific tiles in certain stages. Finding it releases the Lucky Djinn, who grants unlimited use of special attacks and the use of EXTRAPOWER attacks without needing to be at low health. Not bad for finding the company logo! | |

Ratchet & Clank: A recurring bonus area is the Insomniac Museum, so named for Insomniac Games, which appears in Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, A Crack in Time, and Ratchet & Clank (2016). In the first three games, the location's layout is based on the studio Insomniac worked in, and gives information and tidbits about the development of those games, including design choices, concepts, and Dummied Out or otherwise unused content. In the 2016 game, it's instead a warehouse that's host to a bunch of assets, props, pictures, and more from across the franchise's at-the-time 14-year history. In Up Your Arsenal and A Crack in Time, its planet model (and map icon, for the latter) are also based on the full moon that was Insomniac's logo at the time. Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal have a video game console called the Insomniac Game Pyramid◊, based on Insomniac Games. As its name implies, it's a small pyramid with Insomniac's full moon logo on the sides. In the former game you can find it in Clank's Megapolis apartment, where you can use the Dynamo on it to play Sheep Invaders prior to unlocking the minigame in the Extras menu, or destroy it to get 1024 bolts. In the latter game it appears in the Insomniac Museum, where you can play the unused Vid-Comic and Vid-Comic 1 Special Edition on it. In Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, you can earn new paintjobs for Ratchet's Star Explorer by getting Skill Points. The last one you unlock is entitled "Insomniac Special", which is black with blue and silver accents and Insomniac Games' full moon logo on the nose and wings. Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank were developed by High Impact Games rather than Insomniac. They have their own take on the Insomniac Museum called the High Impact Games Treehouse, based on the treehouse from their old logo. |

Beenox Robot Geary in particular is based on their former mascot. The last update to the game added Beenox Crates, which have the company's logo on the sides, to every racetrack in the game. There's a secret reward for breaking all of them. |

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater loves to reference its developers Neversoft: In general, it's not uncommon to find random halfpipes, quarterpipes and kickers with Neversoft stickers on them throughout the series. In the first Tony Hawk's Underground, the Slam City Jam stadium has banners with the logo of Neversoft among the various other real-life companies adorning the fences and walls. In Underground 2, the chainsaw used for a prank near the beginning of the game has Neversoft's logo on it. Tony Hawk's Project 8: The Capitol area has a shipping crate with Neversoft's name on it in a fenced-off area at the edge of the map near the water. The currency, Stokens, is more-or-less just a recreation of Neversoft's iconic impaled eyeball symbol. In Proving Ground, the bridge under construction has a Neversoft billboard near it. |

Valis III has three different publisher-specific cameos in the same game. The first boss fight in the game is done against the backdrop of a neon sign bearing a logo. In the TurboGrafx-16 version, it's NEC; in the later Nintendo Switch compilation, the same sign is editted to read Edia Smart Media Company; finally, in the Sega Genesis version, it's "Reno", short for Renovation, Telenet Japan's NA publishing arm. | |

Family Guy: Frequent references are made to the network the show used to air on, Fox, with the characters mentioning Fox's influence on the show and even having Fox executives and employees occasionally make appearances in the series. One such example, used as a Take That!, is Peter bringing up Fox canceling their show before rattling off a list of nearly three dozen other shows that Fox Network ran and also canceled before un-canceling Family Guy. | |

CrossCode has some references to its creators, RadicalFishGames — mainly in the form of the bespectacled, mustached, top hat-wearing fish mascot featured in their logo: Early versions of the game had "Sir Radfish van Blubb", whose dialogue sprite was the company's logo itself. He was used to give messages from the developers, and is decidedly non-canon. The Developer's Room has a desk decoration◊ based on the fish from their logo. One sidequest has you fighting against another in-universe player named Sao. After defeating him, his Sore Loser complaints get him booted from the game by RadicalFishGames themselves. In the credits of the "A New Home" DLC, you fight "RadFish" - blue fish with mustaches, top hats, and sunglasses, just like the mascot. |
