* The ComicBook/XMen have had this happen twice, and multiple times in the case of one title! The original ''X-Men'' book was officially changed to ''The Uncanny X-Men'' when the famous ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast arc rolled around. Meanwhile, the 90's book changed its title to ''New X-Men'' when Creator/GrantMorrison took over as writer to emphasize the new tone of the book. Not long after Morrison left it went back to just being called ''X-Men''. Then in 2008 it was renamed ''X-Men: Legacy'' to emphasize more on the fact that it was less of an ensemble book and moreso focused on a central character and their history in the X-Men universe.

* ''Series/TheGruenTransfer'' blurs the line between this trope and {{Spin Off}}s ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruen_(TV_series) The Other Wiki]] goes with the former interpretation), changing its title as it has shifted in focus: from ''The Gruen Transfer'' (advertising) to ''Gruen Planet'' (spin and PR in general) to simply ''Gruen'' (somewhere in between). It has also temporarily rebranded several times as ''Gruen Nation'' (elections advertising, spin and PR) and once as ''Gruen Sweat'' (Olympics advertising, spin and PR).
