No matter how much the contenders for this year’s Emmy for main title design jam-packed their sequences with imagery subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle foreshadowing, it seems there was always room for more.
Designer-director Kyle Cooper assembled an edit of the nightmarish title sequence for FX’s “American Horror Story: Cult” that had everything from a dead dog and bugs to people wearing Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton masks and all manner of creepy clowns.
Cooper didn’t have much of a blueprint going in. He just knew the series focused on a woman whose phobias were triggered by the 2016 election. “I’m just trying to have these nutty shoots with a relatively low budget and figuring out what I can do in the time I have,” says Cooper.

Let’s analyze the new world Bryan Fuller is bringing to our TV screens.
The promotional posters for Starz’s American Gods feature the real-life manifestations of Neil Gaiman’s original characters. From Shadow Moon to Mr. Nancy to Easter, each of the characters are framed in a world that reflects their (deceptive) personalities. However, while the backgrounds of each characters’ visual profile differs, the letters that are placed centre-frame do not.
These letters form “Omg,” being both a play on the show’s name as well as an apt reaction to its opening titles, which Starz recently released one month before American Gods’ premiere on April 30th.
