WcDonald's or a variant thereof often appears in anime productions (and a few western shows and games), with the McDonald's golden arches flipped vertically.
In real life, a former Long Island hamburger chain called Wetson's. Their logo was a w that basically was the McDonald's arches upside down. Ironically, several Wetson's, including the one in the picture, later became McDonald's after Wetson's went out of business.
In Chris Ware's Floyd Farland: Citizen of the Future, we see a McRonald's (slogan: "3 Billion Poisoned"). In this case, we can really see why they altered the name for legal reasons.
Kekkaishi (although, since McDonald's actually is a sponsor in the anime adaptation, it also appears as-is in one episode)
Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has "Matsuenald's" - a pun on the mangaka's name (Shun Matsuena) - with the "M" logo shaped as Matsuena's hairdo as he usually depicts it his caricature self-portraits.
MAD may have had the earliest instance of the trope in their parody originally published in the '70s The Six Million Dollars, Man! when Col. Steel Awesome is held captive by Russian agents, and WcDonald's is presented as a Russian version of The Golden Arches.
Master of Martial Hearts has a frequent fast-food restaurant simply called "Moe", with obvious McDonald's arches.
In one episode, the burgers Lethal Chef Barth serves to Christine and Vanessa actually taste decent for a change. Barth confesses that when he ran out of "burger mix," he was forced to run across the street to McDougall's and buy burgers to serve. (He then proceeds to add his own special ingredient to the girls' burgers - squirrel mucus.)
Averted in a handful of episodes during the first, Ottawa-only season of the series, in which McDonald's is not only referred to by name on a few occasions but the McDonaldland characters actually visit the set. (Christine remarks that McDonald's provides free meals to the kids working on the show - "a good thing, because CJOH [the TV station that produced the series] would probably let us starve." Also, McDonald's gift certificates were given away as a call-in competition prize on at least one occasion.
Yuru-Yuri. Similarly to Virtua Fighter, listed above, in which Chinatsu orders a "Big Wac".
Changed logo to the following:
