How can I remove live tile title in a Windows Phone 8.1 application?

I'm building a wide live tile using TileWide310x150Image template in a BackgroundTask, which should show only a wide image, no text or else.

This is the template I'm using:

<tile>
 <visual>
  <binding template="TileWideImage">
   <image id="1" src="image1.png" />
  </binding>  
 </visual>
</tile>

However, application's name is still there and I can't find anything to remove it in the Manifest as it was possible on Windows Phone 7 and 8.

Is there any way to remove it?

In the tile notification XML, specify "none" as the value for the branding attribute. Using this attribute, one can specify whether the tile shows the app logo, the name, or nothing.

Uncheck the checkboxes in Visual Assets tab in the package.appxmanifest file, that removed the title for me. However it didn't do that for the TileSquare150x150IconWithBadge template for some odd reason.
