Description
Title Screens constitute one of the distinctive components (Sound Places) of sound design in games, along with the introductory Menus, Cut-Scenes, and – the more 'extensive' component – the sound occurring during Gameplay.
Although the exposition of the player to the Title Screens is very short when compared with the other Sound Places, it constitutes the first contact of the player with the game, both when first running and in each new session. Being so, it plays an emotional role that sound can help to explore.
It is noticeable that some games extend their Title Screens back to the presentation of distributor and development teams, mostly by customizing the respective logos with motifs from the game, sometimes resorting solely to sound.
Music is the most prevalent solution for Title Screens, sometimes becoming part of the Signature of the game.
