* Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein musicals often have their titles written out, ''Rodgers and Hammerstein's X'' in publicity materials, starting with the made-for-Hollywood ''Film/StateFair''. The opening credits of musicals either adapted or written for the screen also do this. All of this even applies to ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'', despite [[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic the play]]'s libretto coming from Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse[[note]]whose due in the movie's main titles arrives almost two minutes ''after'' the title card[[/note]] rather than Oscar Hammerstein II.

* ''Film/WesCravensNewNightmare'': Creator/WesCraven attached his name to the title to announce his return to the franchise. The title ties into the story, as it's referenced that Craven's horror films are inspired by his nightmares – meaning this movie is, literally, Wes Craven's new nightmare.

** Early in the lifespan of the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, Creator/{{Sega}}'s American division sought to cash in on recent championships for their sports games by adding famous figures to otherwise unrelated games, with ''Tommy Lasorda Baseball''[[note]]formerly ''Super League''[[/note]] and ''Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf''[[note]]formerly ''Naomichi Ozaki Super Masters'', making it a '''different''' celebrity endorsement in Japan[[/note]] in 1989 (along with the UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem-exclusive ''Walter Payton Football''[[note]]formerly ''American Pro Football''[[/note]]); ''James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing'',[[note]]A TakeThat against the aforementioned ''Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!'', as Douglas' claim to fame was defeating Tyson; formerly ''Final Blow''[[/note]] ''Joe Montana Football'' and ''Pat Riley Basketball''[[note]]formerly ''Super Real Basketball''[[/note]] in 1990, and ''Mario Lemieux Hockey'' in 1991.
*** A case with the parent Japanese arm (with help from Brazilian distributor Tec Toy) was ''[[VideoGame/MonacoGP Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II]]'' in 1992, where the Usefulnotes/FormulaOne champion's input was more than CelebrityEndorsement, even having a mode with tracks designed by him.
*** ''Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing'', developed by [=ACME=] Interactive for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis as a successor to the Buster Douglas game, would receive a bit of a marketing blow when Holyfield lost the title to Riddick Bowe just one month after the game was released. [=ACME=] (renamed Malibu Interactive) ported the game to the UsefulNotes/SuperNES as ''Riddick Bowe Boxing'', but they weren't able to release the game before Bowe lost the title back to Holyfield.
*** The UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis port of ''Pigskin: 621 AD'' was retitled ''Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl'', despite the game featuring a fictional BloodSport that makes no pretense of following the rules of UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball.
*** Similarly, the UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} game ''Future Basketball'' was retitled ''Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball'' when it was ported to the SNES. An ExcusePlot was added to explain the futuristic setting and changes in rules to remove fouls and the addition of weapons, in that Laimbeer became the commissioner of an American basketball league in 2031 and fired all the referees.

* "A Criterion Game" was added to the cover of Creator/CriterionGames' ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed: [[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted2012 Most Wanted]]'' in 2012 to help differentiate itself from the 2005 EA Black Box original. It also appears in the Metacritic entries for their game's [=PlayStation=] 3, Xbox 360, [=PlayStation=] Vita, and PC versions, with a dash separating the subtitle from the actual name.

* ''Creator/KurtBusiek's Comicbook/AstroCity''. Put in by the author because his editor thought simply ''Astro City'' sounded too hokey. His name tends to be in rather smaller print. Then again, Astro City's largest TV station is "KBAC", just in case.

* Sometimes this is done as a fan reflex more than anything -- several works by Creator/KatsuhiroOtomo have his name added by fans more than anything. Oddly, the only film that has this as an official alternate title is Film/{{Memories}}, which, as an anthology, had numerous people working in the same capacity as Otomo did. Go figure.
