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.
