What's In a Name

or in a work of art?! Nowadays apparently not enough.

At my academy's annual exhibition, the "Rundgang", a painting class once plastered the walls with tape, on which was stated in huge  black, painted letters that one of them had won a prize.

It's become quite common in advertising to add to whatever given name, the titles, nominations and distinctions, that this particular person has earned. Yet, I suppose, that it inevitably is more of a distinction if a name is given without any explanation necessary.
