The same sense of rigor applied to the title sequence is also found within the in-show location markers, utilising appropriate typefaces that would have been in use by each nation in 1946, placed on-screen in locations reflective of the geographical locations of the political sectors found in post-war Berlin.

We worked closely with illustrator Ed Grace to faithfully recreate the original imagery of each of the seven tricks played by the characters in the original edition of the book, presented in a way that ties them thematically to the murders committed by Moritz in the show, helping to define the series as a new, original, interpretation of a classic story.

We worked closely with the show creator Måns Mårland and director Björn Stein to help build the creative concept in a way that was true to the narrative and creative direction of the show. There was a long period of design and development which helped shape the creative and aesthetic of the final title sequence.
