About the work.
Each episode of The Witcher's first season opens with a different symbol. Seen together, the eight designs reveal a visual language of sharp edges, dark surfaces and shapes drawn from the story.
Michał Niewiara designed the series logo in collaboration with production designer Andrew Laws and directed the first season's opening credits under the guidance of Steve Gaub. Niewiara credits Szymon Kaszuba and Klaudiusz Wesolowski with modeling, Platige Image with lighting and shading, and Błażej Andrzejewski with animation.
Platige Image describes the openings as visual hints for each episode. The Black Sun begins the sequence; later emblems include a star and eels, a marked lily, a branching tree, a djinn, a dragon and a shattered lion. The final symbol brings the wolf, swallow and star together.
