Wayne Fitzgerald
Wayne Fitzgerald (born March 19, 1930) is an American main title designer. Over a career that spanned 55 years, he designed close to a thousand motion picture and television main and end title sequences for top directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, John Huston, Mike Nichols, Robert Redford, Roman Polanski, Arthur Penn, Michael Cimino, Warren Beatty, Herbert Ross, John Hughes, and Quentin Tarantino.
Film title work
A native of Los Angeles, Fitzgerald graduated from Art Center College of Design in 1951, and went to work at Pacific Title & Art Studio. His first major motion picture title design was for MGM's Raintree County. He worked on a great many titles during his 17-year tenure at Pacific Title, becoming head of the art and design department. During that time, Pacific Title did all the motion picture title work for Warner Bros., MGM, and 20th Century Fox, as well as some for Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures, plus independents. Neither Pacific Title nor its employees received title design credit. As a result, Fitzgerald did not receive credit for many of his early designs, such as The Music Man, My Fair Lady, The Three Faces of Eve, Pillow Talk, Imitation of Life; or for early television shows such as Maverick, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mr. Ed, and Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion.
