Elastic - Opening Credits: Halt & Catch Fire

104K views · 10 years ago · other · dated

The opening title sequence for the AMC drama Halt and Catch Fire, designed by the studio Elastic and published by the Cooper Hewitt design museum. It is a short piece of title design for a show about the early personal computer industry.

HN people cite it as a nicely made show intro that fits their taste in hacker soundtracks and still feels relevant today.

“The intro for the show is quite nice.”

> In Motion is my favorite productivity track as well. Most of the time I just listen to the whole The Social Network soundtrack I love hacker soundtracks too! I play the OST for Mr Robot and Halt and Catch Fire link ▶ this video
