For season two of MGM Plus' Billy the Kid, Los Angeles-based agency yU+co dove into the Lincoln County War, marking a tumultuous chapter in Billy's life in which he becomes entangled in a violent feud between rival business factions in New Mexico.
To transport viewers to the era, Yu+Co emulated the tintype photography of the day, and then gave the sequence a weathered aesthetic. The main titles blend live footage, 3D and 2D animation, and use typography inspired by letterpress printing from “Wanted” posters.
Season two of Billy the Kid premiered on October 15 and is available to stream on Prime Video and MGM Plus.
