09/23/2012 UPDATE: Congrats to Momoco on their Great Expectations Emmy win.
The 2012 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Main Title Design have just been announced and they feature a wide variety of work from studios both large and small.
Prologue has the very unnerving sequence to FX's American Horror Story, with creative direction by prominent designer Kyle Cooper.
UK-based studio Momoco have two in the running, beginning with PBS's Great Expectations. Creative direction by Nic Benns.
Imaginary Forces returns again this year with Ahmet Ahmet and Michelle Dougherty delivering the Magic City titles for Starz.
Framework Studio and Creative Director John Priday bring us the playful titles for FOX's New Girl.
And finally we have Momoco's second nomination for Cinemax's Strike Back, with creative direction again handled by Nic Benns.
