Used primarily in teaser posters – and often unveiled before the film has actually wrapped – the just-give-'em-the-names technique is simple, direct and frequently impressive.

Poster Checklist

The name of the movie.
The tagline for the movie.

The symbol of the movie you can expect on all future publicity.
