Simply put, we ask allegedly imaginative marketers in the entertainment industry to take responsibility for creating lame, lackluster campaigns because they have used and then overused \u2018popular movie fonts\u2019 like San Serif Geometric, Trajan, Helvetica Neue, and Gill Sans UltraBold, Calligraphic Fonts etc.<\/p>\n<p>Researching the evolution of Hollywood films I stumbled across a website that has a mind-blogging amount of information. The designer behind the information on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annyas.com\/screenshots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Movie Title Stills Collection<\/a> is Christian Annyas who realized that Hollywood has somehow managed to overlook the power of the font. Sometime in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/what-title-sequences-can-teach-you-about-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art of the film title <\/a>, the text of the titles has taken a backseat in all marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Movie-Title-Stills-Collection.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3270 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"Movie Title Stills Collection\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Movie-Title-Stills-Collection.jpg\" alt=\"Movie Title Stills Collection\" width=\"500\" height=\"327\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/327;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Annyas suggests the thirties was the golden era of typography, as films featuring actors like Humphrey Bogart, used innovative text styles for the titles, a combination of bold lines and script style. To the new graphic designers such typography may seem tacky but imagine the effort and imagination the typographic designers put into them. <em>They were doing everything by hand, and did not have the support of the software\u2019s designers boast today. Each film title was crafted to be unique and the titles could be identified by the text alone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, film typography took a back seat for the majority of movie makers and even now, in the digital era where everything can be done with the help of software, imagination seems to have become an infrequent luxury. That is not to say that all typographic designers and movie makers\u2019 in Hollywood are creatively challenged. It just means that the trends in marketing films do not support font creativity or allow the average film maker to follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/infographics\/typography-trends-for-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the trends in typography<\/a>. Nevertheless, the lost art of the film title should be brought to limelight and designers should find ways to bring back the glory.<\/p>\n<h2>Title Sequence<\/h2>\n<p>Amidst this Dark Age for film typographers some designers have made the more far sighted of directors; sit up and take notice. One notable designer has to be Saul Bass of the <em>Psycho<\/em> (1960) fame in which, he worked for Alfred Hitchcock, and designed the memorable title sequences, actually innovating the field by creating a new type of kinetic typography.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/flavorwire.com\/37625\/of-film-buffs-and-font-geekery-a-qa-with-the-creator-of-the-movie-title-stills-collection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3271 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"Memorable Title Sequences\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/memorable-title-sequences.jpg\" alt=\"Memorable Title Sequences\" width=\"500\" height=\"178\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/178;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He has also worked with names like Stanley Kubrick, and Martin Scorsese and it is his <em>Anatomy of a Murder <\/em><em>(1959) that really captures the ideal of a text based title in Hollywood movies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nextcine.com\/articulos\/el-diseno-de-los-titulos-de-credito-de-saul-bass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3272 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"Anatomy of a Murder\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder.jpg\" alt=\"Anatomy of a Murder\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/280;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The fact is movie makers that actually use custom fonts create a \u2018brand\u2019 identity for their movie. It becomes the corporate representation of the film and if we look through the major blockbusters of the decade most if not all actually made use of custom fonts.<\/p>\n<p>For all you oldie buffs consider the title \u2018Casablanca\u2019. Yes, the first thing to come to mind is the chemistry between Bogart and Bacall but those who have seen the movie remember the handwritten script of the title word \u2018Casablanca\u2019.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/denouementatlanta.com\/2015\/02\/08\/rcwufeb9152015\/casablanca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3273 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"Casablanca\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Casablanca.jpg\" alt=\"Casablanca\" width=\"500\" height=\"389\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/389;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More of a Sci-Fi fan?

As mentioned directors like Hitchcock and Kubrick have shown a lot more perception and the success of their films becomes almost inevitable. Though their brilliance is what made the films big, it is the title sequence and design that made the films memorable in terms of marketing identity.<\/p>\n<p>Typography has lost its importance in the digital era as the title sequence and credit rolls focus more on imagery. However, the most successful films and directors combine the interaction between the imagery and typography to create something unique. In the past designers like Bass made typography an Art and also a focal point in the marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Today the potential of digital graphics and typography is undermined even as designers in studios like Disney strive to brand their films. Consider how Susan Bradley created inspiring typography in the title sequence of \u201cRatatouille\u201d using aspects of the slab-serif typeface <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fonts.com\/font\/monotype\/rockwell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Rockwell<\/a> and then depicting Paris through cursive text (an inspired move).<\/p>\n<h2>Reviving the Art of Title in Films: Digital Typography<\/h2>\n<p>The history of cinema is rich and profound. It reflects the culture of the society and becomes a timeline of historic thought sadly, the art of the title in films has to a large extent gotten lost during its evolution, much like a trend of fashion.<\/p>\n<p>However, titles are an integral aspect of film making and can actually mark the success of a film by making it memorable to the audience, on and off-screen. The ease of manipulating digital technologies has created a \u2018mass film making\u2019 concept that allows hundreds of films to be churned out yearly (as if by an assembly line). Yet, while millions maybe grossed on release of the films the \u2018common\u2019 titles are eventually forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>Ingenuous and innovative title sequences exclusively created for the film are the ones that are remembered and recalled with satisfaction. There is no arguing with success it is time to bring typeface back into the art of film making.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.printmag.com\/article\/the-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3277 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"Satisfaction\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/satisfaction.jpg\" alt=\"Satisfaction\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/374;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Top 5 Film Title Sequence Resources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.watchthetitles.com\/collections\/Film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Forget the Movie Watch the Titles<\/a>: A wonderful site focused on showcasing a wide variety of file title sequences ranging from blockbusters to obscure releases.
