Can you name a "call-back" where a film gives a nod to the director's previous work, showing the name or logo?

Famous "call-backs" are such as these.

In A Clockwork Orange, when Alex is in the record store, you see the soundtrack for 2001 in the front of the section. Both were directed by Stanley Kubrick.

In Terminator 2, you can see the logo on the side of the truck is Benthic Petroleum, the same used in James Cameron's film, The Abyss.

In Gremlins, you can see the happy face "logo" from The Howling on the refridgerator door and there are lobby cards for it in the theater, as well.

Do YOU know of any "call-backs" worthy of being mentioned??

Update:

You're on the right track!

    In Finding Nemo, when they show the dentist's office waiting room, there are toys in a chest from Pixar's previous movies, like theres a Woody doll and that Teddy bear that Boo from Monster's Inc. had.

    Is that what you mean?
