What Planet Are You From? replaced the columbia girl with Annette Bening. I think Go may have used this opening too.

In the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby film, ROAD TO UTOPIA (1945), there was a gag involving the Paramount logo (mountain and stars), but it was embedded in the film during their Alaska jaunt.

In the 1960s, Chuck Jones played with the MGM logo on his Tom & Jerry cartoons by putting a meowing Tom in place of the roaring MGM lion.

BLAZING SADDLES (1974) opened with the Warner Bros. logo suddenly being set ablaze (an obvious reference to the opening of "Bonanza").

Also, the Warner Bros. logo 'morphed' into the Bat symbols for both Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

It's not a film, but Matt Groening spent his own cash on changing the 20th Century Fox logo to 30th Century Fox for Futurama. Fox didn't like the last-minute idea but when they saw it they absolutely adored it, of course.
