title of something displayed, on an advertising board, or on film credits

In this case it is a board, a large card to display something important, like the name of the play the theatre is showing, a directional sign to guide you to an exhibition, name of a company, or a speaker in a conference, etc.

Here are some examples of using the "title board" expression.
The last example is referring to a film, where the composer's name, (Lord Berners) is on the "title board", in reality it is just part of the film credits, and as you see it, the music is a fanfare.

Council or board reviewing or recommending titles to be awarded

Governments and other institutions often bestow various titles onto individuals. For this purpose they could have a board or council that is used to recommend those who should receive these honours. See reference 1 below.
Another meaning of the title is as "legally posessing" or "entitled to" In this context a board might be appointed by someone (an institution) to assess and make recommendation on the title/posession for something - a resource for example. In this case "Title Board" is the board reviewing the title concerned - see reference 2 below:

Forgot to mention - in my opinion this has nothing to do with labels and signs :-)
