Dexter: New Blood
Most shows get one main title. Dexter: New Blood got a new one every week.
Across a ten-episode season we designed and delivered a unique intro and a unique main-on-end for every episode, built around a logo that broke down in step with the story. Twenty bespoke sequences, one narrative system, made directly with the show’s creators.
The Ice
The season is about fracture. Dexter has buried his old life under a new name in a frozen town, and his son Harrison’s arrival starts cracking it open. So we built that into the logo itself: with every episode, the ice fractured further and the blood ran deeper into the New Blood type. We knew where the season ended. The logo got there one crack at a time.
The Intros
Every episode opened with its own sequence: the evolving logo, a rapid-fire run of live action teasing the hour ahead, and the episode title embedded into the show’s footage rather than slapped on a card. We built each one with Michael C. Hall, Clyde Phillips, and Scott Reynolds, so every intro was wired into the episode it introduced.
The Main on Ends
Then we closed every hour with a sequence derived from inside it. A headline from the episode’s news story. The embers of its closing act. Each main-on-end took a concept the episode had planted and turned it into a reflective bookend, so the credits felt like the last beat of the hour instead of an exit.
