But if it was the Disney logo, I'd be reminded of the past failures and how I still think it'd be better if HBO got it... Now let's assume Disney owns HBO but you don't know that... that's why you keep them separate (Disney sucks; HBO is awesome, or vice versa). | |

These are all separate branding propositions. They aren't separately branded because they happen to be separate companies in some kind of organisational sense, they're separate because they don't want to start selling "Coke tea" and "Pepsi cereal". Is there any reason why film-making would be different? | |

Similarly, Disney Animation Studios' films (e.g. Zootopia) have two consecutive Disney logos, one for Disney and one for DAS. | |

| Aug 29, 2019 at 15:51 | comment | added | J... | Agreed. This is exactly the right answer. It's the same reason the Smart Car doesn't have a Mercedes badge, or an Alienware PC doesn't have a Dell logo - the brand identity means something, and those products just don't fit with the parent brand like they do with their own. | |
