Rian Johnson’s case-of-the-week mystery series “Poker Face” is a hit with audiences and critics, but the Peacock show’s stylish throwback title sequence has its own devoted fanbase.
“People have been writing to say, ‘I cheered when this yellow type and a copyright block came up,'” said Marke Johnson, the founder and creative director of The Made Shop, the Denver-based design studio behind the credits. “It’s funny that whether you know the type or not, it’s this alchemy of details. This shade of yellow, this type of shadow, this type of optical effect, all coalesces, and it has been really rewarding.”
Inspired by TV mystery series like “Columbo” and “Murder, She Wrote,” “Poker Face” follows human lie detector Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) as she travels the country, always managing to stumble into a murder. “Poker Face” isn’t Johnson’s first collaboration with the filmmaker, who also happens to be his cousin.
