Based in Tinseltown, well just north of it (North Hollywood), Zach and Kristen are married film industry professionals on a deep dive into the history of the Academy Awards. Every week they watch the Academy Award winning best picture starting with the original ceremony in 1929 to now. Fascinated by the concept of The Oscars and curious about the culture surrounding them, the Phaneufs are on a mission to share the history and context of the “best” films in American history—thanks to Oscar and his academy.

Today we’re celebrating the Academy Award winning film, Apollo 13!

Every week we’ll share the title cards from each highlighted Oscar winner. Title cards and sequences have been and still are an important part of the film industry and how films are viewed. They set the tone for the film from the beginning and typographers and graphic designers have been influencing the way films are perceived as long as they have existed. Some fonts are created specifically for films and franchises, and some directors have even used the same fonts and designs as a kind of trademark of their particular films.

Enjoy the title card for Apollo 13!
