    There were 333 fantastic movies in Turkish cinema between 1950-1985. Because of the social, cultural, and economic changes during the 70s (urbanization, western-centric modernization, and Turkey’s cultural relationship between the US and Europe), fantastic movie production has been increased dramatically (177 fantastic movies were produced between 1970-80). Still, after the coup in 1980, with civil unrest and economic instabilities, a few fantastic movies were produced after 1982. This research examines how title sequences can be analyzed in fantastic Turkish movies between 1950-1985 and understand the visual characteristics of these title sequences and how these can be categorized visually. This study aims to research title sequence designs in fantastic Turkish cinema between 1950-1985 and focuses on a historical showcase of how aspects of national and cultural diversity must be accounted for in studying design and visual culture. These fantastic movie title sequence designs are unique and significant examples of early Turkish motion graphics designs. They have an important role in Turkish design history because of low budget-fast production, technology-based processes, and their visual languages, characteristics, and concepts.
