The New York Type Directors Club has recognized the importance of typography in the design of titles for movies, TV, online, and live gatherings, and for the first time this year TDC has a competition for the best title designs: TDC Intro. We’ve gotten used to noticing the design of film titles and credits, but this recognizes how widely the use of typographic “introductions” has spread through our entire visual environment. TDC Intro is being chaired by Jakob Trollbäck.
The competition’s deadline has just been extended to Jan. 20 (though the TDC website’s “competitions” page focuses on the just-closed TDC56 and TDC2 comps; follow this link for the entry form for Intro).
