I loved the location titles. I was hoping it would become a new Bond tradition. Could you imagine having 50 years of location titles in the vault and the outrage if it ever ended.(though I still appreciate their efforts in creating those location title cards, which I had hoped we'd be seeing again this time around).

Excellent point! I also really liked the location cards in QUANTUM OF SOLACE. They were generally imaginative and not too obtrusive. Perhaps they could try something similar in the future.I loved the location titles. I was hoping it would become a new Bond tradition.

I was about to go off-topic about SKYFALL's locators but will start a new thread instead.

I haven't see the Skyfall textless credits, and now seems to be offline.
Anyone has downloaded it?
The opening Credit sequence you mean?

They were great! I liked them better than both Quantum Of Solace and Casino Royale...

Silva is in the sequence as well by the looks of it, pointing a gun behind Bond's back.

A very well thought out sequence.

Its nice to see that these have leaked, though I'd have love for Casino and Quantum to be released textless as well.

Notice between 2:53-2:55, Bond's shadow is mysteriously cut off before the top of the screen.The previous one was taken down but here is another one

I found Skyfall's titles to be superb. Feels like TB meets TND, with two blatant references to LALD and TLD.
Regarding QOS, I really wish there was a textless version available. The imagery I didn't mind, Even though it wasn't Kleinmann, it worked well. It kind of felt like a cross between TWINE and YOLT. But the one think I absolutely HATED about QOS was the font they used for the opening credits. The incredible thick, round font, and all lower case titles were too much of a variation. Almost all movies have used a simple gothic-based fonts with slight variations (YOLT the biggest variation as it seems to be an oriental gothic style font, but the font they use, along with the repeating dot motif, is so insanely distracting that it doesn't feel that it's an Albert R. Broccoli's Eon Productions production. That facet is primarily what drags QOS down the most for me, even more so than the frenetic editing and its unusual brevity.

Now that one's been taken down too. Does anyone else have it?

Its weird that they didn't just make the CR and QoS re-releases UEs, complete with UE menus and textless titles. :-\

I noticed on my viewing last night another skull, this time in the form of the riverbed when 'Skyfall' appears on screen, and the mouth is opening drawing Bond down/in.

Just now noticed that, chilling indeed!

I had noticed that also. I like some of the small touches in Kleinman's titles, like in the Casino Royale titles when the blood of one of the men makes the letters CR.

I was very critical of Kleinman's TND and TWINE work, especially TWINE (though he's hardly Robinson Crusoe when it comes to bad work on TWINE), but he's really come into his own with CASINO ROYALE and now SKYFALL.

Fabulous titles; agreed with Harms and sharpshooter that they're his best work along with CR and GE.
As "worthy" a successor he is to Binder, I'd say even moreso to Bass, to whom they both owe much.

Whichever poster asked about Kleinman's font that I'm too lazy to go back and look for, it's some variant on Helvetica, slightly more narrow than what Binder used to use.
Century Gothic is the font.

Same of CASINO ROYALE logo.

Oh, thought we were talking about the rest of the credits, not the title logo itself. Right, bolded Century Gothic.
