    Am I the only one still confused as to why they kept referencing tentacles in the SP titles? SPECTRE is a ghost, not an Octopus!

    The SPECTRE logo has always been an octopus.

    Dictionary says its "a visible disembodied spirit : ghost"

    Yeah, I'm aware of what the definition of a spectre is. But the logo of the SPECTRE organisation has been an octopus (or a variation thereof) since Thunderball, symbolising their reach.

    I believe you. The original logo makes that pretty clear.

    The new sleek logo looks way too much like a ghost though. Hence, my confusion.

    My own enjoyment of what Kleinman delivers will depend entirely on the song that accompanies it. Yes, I'm happy that Kleinman is back again but until I hear the finished song, I can't envisage anything. Just like when I first heard Paul McCartney & Wings song before the movie came out, I had high expectations for Maurice Binder's titles and couldn't wait to see what he'd come up with. I wasn't disappointed either as when I first saw that woman's face spontaneously combust into a skull, alongside strong fire and voodoo imagery I was completely spellbound. The imagery fitted the song perfectly. Clearly Binder was inspired by the song, and I think the same will apply to whatever Kleinman has to build his graphics around for B25. A lousy song will probably result in lacklustre titles again.

    It's an Ectopus.

    Take a bow.

    The SP titles could have been so good if they played with the visual theme of "ghosts from the past" and implement a generally creepy/sinister feel.

    The final titles were overwrought and burdened with imagery. It was overstuffed. Much of this is on Mendes who made very clear in numerous interviews that he wanted the titles in SF and SP to reference and hint at things to come in the film itself. I hope to God that Fukunaga knows better.

    Meanwhile the titles in DAD are perfect. They may be the best titles that Kleinman has created.

    but that's the problem with Kleinman! His style was create in the 1990s and 2000s. He's a bit boring and predictable now.

    I just hope to God that Eon use their brains and hire the Arctic Monkeys.

    I don't dislike any of the main titles for any of DC's films, although I kind of agree the SP titles were a bit strange. We don't need to see a naked Bond being fondled with tentacles.

    I hope Daniel Kleinman sticks along the lines of Casino Royale for Bond 25.

    It debuted in From Russia with Love.

    Here's all the logos that were featured, the first in FRWL, the revised logo for TB, and then the one from SPECTRE.

    Ah, I had forgotten that it was visible in From Russia With Love. Cheers.

    I’m totally willing to bet the ‘time’ aspect of the title will factor in the MTS. Especially as this is Craig’s final film as Bond.

    I can imagine, Kleinman is thinking about clocks– much like Binder’s work in OHMSS- and maybe some hourglass stuff – sinking into the sand.

    That last one is very cool, @Pierce2Daniel. But do keep the naked ladies. Naked Bond is a no no.

    Bah, it'll probably be the first title sequence with no naked women at all, right? Censorship everywhere. And no sexiness, right? Not even a double entendre, not even a phallic hammer falling into a sickle. No pistol coming out of an open mouth. None of that :(

    Title of this thread needs changing - BOND 25 is no more.

    I hope he doesn’t do clocks.

    It depends on the song itself I think.

    I'm talking about the people not wanting naked Bond but desiring naked women. There's no reason to specify naked men disgust you unless you're a secretly closed homosexual

    Perhaps naked men and naked women......

    Very happy Kleinman is on board. No idea what he'll do with this one, but I enjoy his past work a lot.

    What if i'm disgusted about naked men only because that means no naked women? Eh?

    Well why not just get everybody naked at some point in No Time To Die. Including the pets and in artwork. Maybe in the PTS, just to get it out of the way ... like a pool party (FYEO) without the swimsuits. Keep the shades and umbrella drinks, that's fine. ;)

    So our concept for the NTTD titles would be this?
