Okay I already submitted this but I used my own source. I don't know if it's gonna get accepted but I might as well prove it on here. The PS2 title WWF:Smackdown Just Bring It platinum box art was changed to a newer logo Smackdown! logo along with the WWF brand name being changed to WWE. It was changed because of the World Wide Fund trademarking the WWF initials in a legal battle against the WWE which at the time was using the WWF initials which stood for World Wrestling Federation. The World Wide Fund won the battle and World Wrestling Federation changed to World Wrestling Entertainment. The change of the logo was due to the fact the they already changed their industry name along with the Smackdown! logo being replaced with the current Smackdown! logo at the time.

The difference between both box arts with the one on the left being the box art that was released in North America and the box art on the right was the platinum edition being released in the UK.
