11	The simplest way to be distinctive is to use a silhouette. It's easy to both print and draw, without too many details to be distracting. It is also recognizable at small sizes. This is what this trope is about: the logo of a work featuring the silhouette of a character. This may be inside a letter (or ''[[LuckyCharmsTitle be]]'' the letter), standalone from the logo (for example, beside or behind it), or even ''be'' the logo itself (with the letters inside it). Silhouettes are not necessarily required for this trope; this can be extended to the characters themselves as well as elements from the media.

145	*** Subsequent games kept up the trend, with the exception of ''VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5''. 2 even went so far as to have two different logos featuring the two protagonists, Dante and Lucia.
146	** Various of the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' titles has the prominent silhouette of [[TheProtagonist Phoenix Wright]] (as well [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Miles Edgeworth]] and [[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney Apollo Justice]] in their own games/novels) back the logo with the [[AssKickingPose "Objection!" pose]].

154	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
155	** The logos for the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games often feature a prominent character of the title, may be TheProtagonist as well the BigBad. This started since ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' in Japan and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' in Western applied to all games past them with redesigned logos, in which the character (or the meteorite in ''VII'') is drawn in monochrome with some color(s) and left behind the "Final Fantasy" archetype logo. ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' actually features two characters - Rinoa and Squall - in an embrace, while ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' ditches the idea and uses the crystal, a recurring motif in the franchise.
156	** Subverted with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV''. The end of the game reveals that the logo features Luna. Yet, it [[OffModel doesn't look like]] Luna. This is because the logo technically ''isn't'' Luna. The logo dates back to years before Luna was even created. It's most likely Luna's longer haired prototypical version, Stella.
157	* Both ''VideoGame/InFamous'' games have their protagonists in their logos as silhouettes, right in the "O" of "[=inFAMOUS=]".

162	** Several games in the franchise have incorporated major characters into their logos. ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' even did so ''retroactively'' when ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' made the Master Sword a character in its own right.
163	* ''VideoGame/LostHome'' has its two main characters, an armadillo and a snake, in the game's logo. However, the logo depicts them in a more realistic style, unlike in the game, where they're more cartoonish.

169	* ''VideoGame/PacMan'' has the "Pac-Man Head" replacing the C in the game's logo. Or, rather, the logo font was styled after Pac-Man's appearance. The C was occasionally rendered with Pac-Man's eyes as well.
170	** Creator/ColumbiaRecords had also been using a font with a C shaped like a circle with a wedge cut out as early as 1973 on its 45 rpm singles, thus pre-dating Pac-Man. They also ended up being the original publisher for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_Fever_(song) Buckner and Garcia's song "Pac-Man Fever"]], making this an amusingly coincidental case of Character in Publisher's Logo.
171	* The logo for ''VideoGame/PartTimeUFO'' features the title character's claw standing in for the "T" in "Part" and "O" in "UFO".
172	* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesGardenWarfare'': The Zombie Foot Soldier is in the first "a" of "Warfare".

177	** ''VideoGame/PokemonSleep'' features a [[HeavySleeper Snorlax]] in the logo.
178	* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'': Calling the Puyos "characters" [[FlatCharacter might be a bit of a stretch]], but at any rate, a Puyo appears on the logos for ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever'' and its sequel.
