Examples of LaTeX title pages

Some titlepages done in LaTeX, a png preview is available for some of them. Click on view Code on mobile devices to get the list of files.

Those are mere examples, there is no warranty that the code will work for your projects or that the code is in any form correct. Use it at your own risk and with some common sense. All examples are self-contained and ready to compile. In most examples, the documentclass can be changed if needed. Special requirements will be noted in comments. There is absolutely no naming scheme, names will mostly consist of animal names. If you decide to use one of the examples as a base for your own titlepage, please leave a link to the example in your tex-code.

The titlepage is one of the first pages of a book or thesis. This page contains only the title in a fashion similar to the rest of the text within the book.

That is what Wikipedia tells us, now we have a perspective to follow, the titlepage should match the appearance of the rest of the book or thesis or report. That means at least, that the font has to match.

A titlepage, not to be confused with a cover, is somehow static. It often needs special formatting (especially margins), to follow some university requirements. It is possible to change the page layout just for the titlepage, but it isn't worth the trouble. It is much easier to simply generate the titlepage in an extra document and include it in the real project using package pdfpages.

Some of the examples here come from the inital answer at How to customize my titlepage. Many more examples of titlepages can be found at TitlePages on CTAN.

Almost all examples use the titlepage environment. If you are going to include the titlepage as a separate pdf in your main document, you can replace the environment by a simple \pagestyle{ampty}.
