london

One of the really nice touches in the latest Bond flick was the use of ‘in scene’ typography on some of the scene start title sequences, I particularly liked the London opener which was printed on the road in that classic ‘City of London’ typeface which was then immediately run over by a car. You can see them all at Tomato’s site, or pulled out for easier viewing at Goldenfiddle. I read QoS and Fleming’s other short stories in the recent Penguin collection – well worth a read if you’ve not read much James Bond before.
