Whenever the sequel for a work goes in a Darker and Edgier direction, there is a tendency to advertise it with a more weathered and battered looking variation of the first work's logo. This is a convenient visual shorthand for the extra death and/or destruction/Darkest Hour that will take place in the sequel.
Evolving Title Screen is closely related to this trope, particularly when the scenery gets more ruined as the story goes on. A subtrope of Thematic Sequel Logo Change, which is when the sequel to a work changes its logo to match its themes or plot.

The logo for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild features the same font as the franchise logo but is more weathered-looking, signifying the After the End setting. Furthermore, the logo also depicts the Master Sword lodged through the "Z" much like in the logo for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, except that it's chipped and rusting much like it is briefly in-game.

All of the logos in the Batman: Arkham Series look pretty weathered, but the bat symbol for Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham Origins can be seen clearly, while Batman: Arkham City's is partially obscured by shadow, and by Batman: Arkham Knight is almost pitch black and wreathed in fire.

On the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion logo, the planet is cracked, alluding to the titular Cataclysm that caused a lot of environmental damage around Azeroth.

The title image for Iron Man 3 in the trailer is a sparking, incomplete, and generally broken-looking version of the Iron Man 2 logo.

The logo for Assassin's Creed Rogue has a shattered Assassin's symbol to signify Shay's break with the Assassins and The Purge of the Colonial Assassins, and the title screen goes a step further by having the shattered symbol turn to reveal a Templar cross formed from the shards.

Compared to the metallic, shiny logo of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the logo of The Bad Batch is rusted and stripped of its color. It should be noted the Star Wars Rebels logo is rusted but painted over.

The Legend of Zelda:
The logo for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has pristine font, but behind it is the Hylian Crest and Triforce covered in foliage and moss, a reflection of the fact that this game takes place After the End following Demise's ravaging of the surface world.

Mass Effect's logo is the franchise's title written in soothing blue letters, the second game's logo is the same but with a slightly-corroded "2" on a red square while the third game's is like the second but even more corroded. Sure enough, each game's tone is darker and more apocalyptic than the previous.

BioShock 2 is set eight years after the original. The sequel's logo is significantly more corroded and even encrusted with barnacles, indicating how badly Rapture has decayed between the two games.

Far Cry 5 inverts this as the logo returns to a pristine form, but its narrative sequel Far Cry: New Dawn has the stars replaced with faded pink spray paint spelling the subtitle, and the background is the same location as 5's but ruined to reflect it taking place in the post-apocalypse.

The opening logos for It: Chapter Two are this compared to the first chapter. Here, the Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema logos are completely grungy and rusty, and are illuminated by the Deadlights while both logos are set in a background consissting of nothing but pitch-black darkness.

The logo for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which takes place after the Park has failed and the dinosaur-filled islands have been Reclaimed by Nature, is a weathered 3D version of the Jurassic Park (1993) logo. The franchise pulled the same trick with the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom logo in relation to the Jurassic World logo, this time being rock breaking apart to mirror the eruption of Mt. Sibo.

Variation with Gemini Home Entertainment. While the actual logo shown at the start of each "tape" doesn't get redesigned, each logo intro gets distorted by more and more Ominous Visual Glitches in each episode as we get a more complete picture of the creepy things happening in the setting.
