X-Men Opening Sequence: Then and Now

As someone who grew up watching X-Men, I’m thrilled to see how it has evolved over the years. From a Saturday morning cartoon to a movie franchise, it has now evolved into a new animated series on G4 TV and I Love it !!

Take a look at the use of typography in this first video. I like the way the design team integrates both the English and Japanese fonts together. I also like the way the text is animated in to introduce each character. Without a doubt, it adds to the dramatic feel of the open.

It’s pretty obvious the designers studied the original open and then built on from it. In the original though, each character was given his own specific font. Take a look!

Great Commercial !

I saw this commercial for the first time this morning and was blown away by the amount of detail and timed accuracy involved. When I find out who the creatives are behind this, I’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime… Enjoy!
