A Legacy Built to Shine: Designing for the Monsterverse

Kong + Godzilla are back for Season 2 !

Fave client SHINE once again designed + produced the main titles for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters from AppleTV+ and Legendary.

Set against the backdrop of the Monsterverse, Monarch is a globetrotting adventure spanning 1952 and 2015 featuring multiple generations of two families in Tokyo and San Francisco trying to solve a common mystery.

The title sequence uses a graphic split-screen treatment, dividing the frame down the center. By juxtaposing images left and right, contrasts from the story are illustrated: the year 1952 contrasted with the year 2016. San Francisco contrasted with Tokyo. Analog technology contrasted with digital technology.
