Creative directors Clara Lehmann and Jonathan Lacocque at Coat of Arms in West Virginia: “This is Coat of Arms’ fourth year collaborating with the SXSW Film & TV Festival on the opening titles.

“The 2023 titles celebrate the SXSW mark through abstract 3D lettering and include multiple Easter eggs for films from the prior year like, a plush rainbow, a black snake, googly eyes, an astronaut, and a reference to an Austin, TX landmark. These opening titles played before every screening at the 2023 SXSW Film & TV Festival.”
