In striking contrast to the narrative complexities and relentless pacing of BODIES, Studio AKA director Marcus Armitage opens the Netflix series with clean, calm titles that tastefully allude to the show’s time-related mystery.

Studio AKA EP Nikki Kefford-White in London: “The Netflix limited series BODIES is an intriguing adaptation of Si Spencer’s mind-bending graphic novel of the same name, which presents a complex murder mystery through the lens of four detectives, set over a span of 150 years.

“Responding to Moonage Pictures’ brief, Marcus skillfully unearths a graphic language that immerses viewers in the temporal intricacies of the show. By deconstructing and reassembling key elements from the novel’s original logotype, he delivers a captivating series of visual riddles, subtly revealing themselves throughout the title sequence.
 

“Each letter of the BODIES title is gradually disclosed via an array of period-specific puzzles, from Victorian newspaper clippings to futuristic DNA sequences, drawing viewers deeper into the enigma.”

 
“Guided by the show’s theme of investigations across multiple eras, the title sequence alludes to the mysterious core of the drama. Each letter of the BODIES title is gradually disclosed via an array of period-specific puzzles, from Victorian newspaper clippings to futuristic DNA sequences, drawing viewers deeper into the enigma.

“Marcus and the AKA team have ingeniously re-imagined the original logo to appeal to the new audience, maintaining a sense of suspense throughout. The sleek, dynamic title is also embedded with unique visual hints for each episode.”
