Johnson’s first tease was of a piece of clothing with “VIII” on it:

Rian Johnson will be appearing at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 later this month. It’s possible that the title and a teaser trailer from the film will be revealed there.
Filming has been taking place for several months so it’s expected that an official announcement on filming wrapping up will be made soon.
Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on December 15th, 2017.
