A little over a month ago I received an e-mail from fellow Typophile Robert Farrelly. He alerted me to the fact that the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace had some interesting typography – specifically the location cards
that designated where the action was taking place. The choice of
typography was adapted to the geographical location. When researching
this the first people I stumbled upon were MK12.
The self-proclaimed “full-service lateral hyperthreaded tactical design
and research bureau” created the opening credits for the most recent
James Bond movie. They also did a bit of R&D for the cards but were
responsible for the creation of only the Port Au Prince, Haiti location
title card out of the set.

SIDE NOTE: The title cards for locations in the film were created by Tomato. Tomato is a collective of artists, designers, musicians and writers which was founded in 1991. I first became aware of them through their breathtaking visuals for one of their most visible projects: Underworld, the successful musical collaboration of Rick Smith and Karl Hyde.
