Elena
Fredrik Jönson: I remember seeing Elena in an early specimen (from the MA?) some years ago already. Loved it instantly. Now I feel there are …
I’ve been watching the recently release DVD Looney Tunes Golden Collection lately. You can practically see the brush strokes. It’s a big inspiration for me. It’s nice to see so many examples collected online.
Here’s another one (which may have been mentioned here before).
Thanks Mark! Some of those are fantastic. A pity they aren’t larger images so we can see the detail. I envy your DVD.
Very cool! Not sure what I am ejoying more, the lettering or the actual title names? They are as witty and imaginative as the lettering.
These are great! I can really see how some type designers have been influenced, even if I’m only reading into it. I can especially see Jim Parkinson’s work. I’d be curious if he is a cartoon fan.
The titles are hilarious. “Pettin’ in the park”! Is that child approved? Hehe!
Some of those puns were awful. The funny thing is, I don’t remember noticing the punny titles at all when I was a kid. I recently read Chuck Jones’ autobiography and realized at least part of the reason why: Most of us nowadays remember these catoons as childrens’ television programming, but they were originally shown in movie theaters before the main feature to a mainly adult audience.
Super nice! Every time I see the Warner Bros. logo, I think of this.
I’m a huge title card fan.
I was always curious about what size they were created, and what materials were used.
After seeing some in the flesh, I was surprised that they were done at the same size as the animation- about 9″x12″.
Most were done using guache. Larger lettering brushed, and smaller using Speedball etc.
Why the hell hasn’t someone done a book on titling in general??
