Elite Dangerous doesn't tell you anything if you don't already know it.
The Elite brand-name is still quite strong and in this age of information if anyone is curious it'll be easy to find out the pedigree of the game. Folks like Scott Manley and others who're aware of the original game are already raising the profile of Braben and the Elite brand, lost to a generation or two. I could argue Star Citizen - generic sci-fi thing. Elite - what's that?
