Intro to Madeira

Film title design is (and always has been) an essential part of any motion picture. It was originally a motionless piece of artwork called title art.
The main title design consisted of the movie company's name and/or logo and the presentation of the main characters along with the actor’s names, generally using that same artwork.

Most independent or major studio had their own title art logo used as the background for their screen credits and they used it almost exclusively on every movie that they produced.
