PENTAGRAM - Designs STL Intro Graphics

NBC’s legendary sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” launched its 38th season this month with a new title sequence designed by Pentagram’s Emily Oberman and team. Inspired by the lights and architecture of New York City at night, the dynamic, highly graphic sequence deconstructs the cast, title typography and the city itself through a shimmering, slightly trippy prism of dots and angles. The new sequence accompanies major cast changes for the show, and the titles introduce the SNL players with beautiful portraits by longtime SNL photographer Mary Ellen Matthews, animated with jump cuts.
Oberman and her team worked closely with SNL producers James Signorelli and Steve Higgins on the project. Oberman has worked with SNL since 1994, when she and Bonnie Siegler, her partner at Number Seventeen, were hired to design parody commercials for the show, including the classic “Crystal Gravy.”They later designed the logos and several title sequences for the show over the years, most recently in 2009. At Number Seventeen Oberman also designed identities for other shows produced by SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels and his company Broadway Video, including “30 Rock” and “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”
