Classic Movie Title Cards

If you're interested in film history or graphic design, here is a great site with hundreds of classic film title and end title cards. The site was created by Christian Annyas, freelance web designer.

It's interesting to see the evolution of film graphics over the decades and a lot of fun to check out the Warner Bros. end titles and try to guess what film they are from. You'll see when you move your mouse over a particular title.

The Art of the Title Sequence

Here's an interesting site that specializes in title sequences for both animated and live action films and TV shows. The animated films include The Incredibles, Kung Fu Panda, Aeon Flux (pictured above), Cowboy Bebop and Tekkonkinkreet. Live films include To Kill a Mockingbird, Casino Royale, Natural Born Killers, Vertigo, Iron Man, etc.

There's lots more at the site, so if you have an interest in title design and the various ways titles are used (for backstory, for setting mood, etc.) it's worth a visit.
