   Not really.   
      
   Brand names are usually only removed if there's a conflict. For   
   example, maybe the show/film/production company/distribution company   
   has a deal with Pepsi, so that means they remove all the Coke logos. Or   
   perhaps the company doesn't want their logo associated with the   
   show/film, althogh that is usually done via a lawsuit after release.   
      
   They may also be removed or replaced when necessary, for example   
   replacing a building's signage to say "Gotham City Jail".   
      
   In general terms shows/movies don't bother going around purposely   
   removing logos. It would simply be too prohibitve in terms of time and   
   money to do so - things like cars would have to all have their badges   
   removed or replaced.
