A type of Stock Shout-Out and parody of an event from the '90s. In 1993, Warner (Bros.) Records legally prevented the musician Prince Rogers Nelson from releasing music under a different label using his legal first name "Prince", as they owned a trademark on it. As part of a Take That!, he changed his name to an unpronounceable, and then-untypeable "love symbol", which resembles a modified transgender symbol, oriented in the same direction as the female symbol and given a second, longer, and more stylized bar at the base of the shaft.note "O(+>" is an ASCII art approximation of this symbol, and Warner Bros. was forced to supply the print media with a new font containing the symbol. "Ƭ̵̬̊" is another approximation out there that reflects the proper orientation, but it's far more difficult to type out, and often doesn't render correctly due to the use of the notoriously-finicky combining diacritical marks. Currently, the symbol is unavailable in Unicode due to it being a copyrighted logo as opposed to a public-domain symbol. In response, the phrase "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" was coined by a public that had no idea what else to call him, and quickly became a very popular target for parody thanks to its obtuseness. His contract with Warner expired three years later, but Warner still owned the trademark on the name "Prince" until 2000, after which the musician went back to his given name. Once he did, it effectively made him the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, if you're being technical. Not to be confused with Renamed Tropes. |

Roundhouse: A Cinderella parody with TAFKAP as the Prince Charming. His name was announced as holding a cardboard sign with the symbol up and the sound effect of the first electronic riff plus 'uhn' in Prince's "Kiss". They started off calling him "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince And Now Represented By This Symbol" (holds sign up with riff playing) but skipped straight to holding up the sign with the riff. Back in season 2, when Prince's name-change was still recent, an Entertainment Tonight parody reported on this and said that several other celebrities followed suit, such as Steven Spielberg (a combination of the symbols for money and bad taste; Jurassic Park was also recent at this time as well) and Sylvester Stallone (the periodic symbol for iridium - the densest of the elements). This segment also provided the page quote. |

Used twice by The Simpsons; one of the puppies in the 101 Dalmatians parody is called "The Puppy Formerly Known as Prince", while "Lisa's Wedding" shows a list of arrested celebrities that includes "The Artist formerly known as *unpronounceable symbol*◊" and "The Artist formerly known as Buddy Hackett." One of the flashback episodes ("Lisa's Sax") is set during a time when "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince was currently known as Prince." | |

By the Discworld novel Unseen Academicals the Dean of Unseen University has moved on to become the Archchancellor of competing Brazeneck University in Pseudopolis between books. Early in the book members of UU faculty and even the narration itself struggle with how to refer to him in a manner that both reflects his current title and specifies they do not mean their own Archancellor Ridcully. Then in a gathering with the wizards Patrician Vetinari repeatedly calls him "The Archchancellor formerly known as Dean", which seems to stick. | |

Animorphs: Ax always calls the leader of the group Prince Jake. (Ax is an Andalite, and 'Prince' is a military title.) During one issue where only the pair of them were left, Jake tells Ax that there aren't enough people around, so he should be called The Jake Formerly Known As Prince. Later, when the group is back together, the two go through their Running Gag ("Don't call me Prince." "Yes, Prince Jake") and Ax says, instead, "I will call you The Jake Formerly Known As Prince." When Rachel tests Marco by saying "You know you're a toad, right?" his answer is: |

In July 2023, the microblogging site Twitter was rebranded as X. Since this was a new and somewhat vague replacement for what had been a globally-recognized household name, news reports, websites (this one included) and other documents which mentioned the site generally began referring to it as "X (the social media site formerly known as Twitter)", or something along similar lines. | |

Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child: In one episode, Mother Goose's decision to fly the coop leaves all the nursery rhyme characters in a muddle, and Humpty Dumpty starts referring to himself as "the egg formerly known as Dumpty." In another episode, "The Frog Princess," the title character entreats the prince to help her cook, and when he refuses on the grounds that he is a prince and thus can't cook, she sings him a song that includes the lyrics, "You could be the prince formerly known as helpless." |

In the 1632 series, Don Fernando, the Spanish king's younger brother, was in holy orders as the "cardinal-infante" ("infante" is Spanish for "prince who's not heir to the throne"). Then he got a dispensation to give up being a cardinal. From that point on, there are occasional references to him as "the prince formerly known as cardinal-infante." | |
