In 2022, artist/motion designer Oliver Latta (aka Extraweg) won the Main Title Design Emmy for his landmark Severance open. The good news is, with season 2, he doubles down on the surreality and expands the scope of the imagery.

​Oliver Latta: “I had the privilege of collaborating with Ben Stiller to create a fresh title sequence for season 2 that goes deeper into Mark’s subconscious, presenting a darker and more surreal visual journey that mirrors the show’s evolving narrative.
 

“This project demanded a thoughtful balance of creativity and collaboration, involving close coordination with the production team to ensure the visuals captured the emotional struggles of the characters.”

 
“The sequence intricately explores Mark’s fragmented memories and anxieties, symbolizing his struggle to reclaim his identity. Each element, from the architecture of Mark’s mind to the subconscious symbols, were designed to intertwine the main story line with its subplots, offering subtle foreshadowing of the season’s twists.

“This project demanded a thoughtful balance of creativity and collaboration, involving close coordination with the production team to ensure the visuals captured the emotional struggles of the characters and the world of Lumon Industries.”
