We really wanted something modern and colourful for the title sequence, that had a retro film feel to it, and also gently touched on some narrative elements of the show," said Hawkes. "Sharon and the team understood immediately. The finished sequence was even more than Id hoped for. Framestore brought the concept to life brilliantly, enhancing the original vision with style and energy. I had such a great experience with them.

Lock, known for her title work on National Geographics series MARS, initially pitched the logo before being selected to create the titles for the series. Amongst the high-octane drama of a feisty all-female cast in Geareys fresh take on a sci-fi setting, Locks work needed to encapsulate the very human drama and tense relationships between the set of disparate women convicts forced together through no choice of their own. The series revolves around young cop and galactic pilot, Ash Harper, whos been framed for a treasonous crime and banished to a distant prison colony. In transit, Ashs fellow convicts rebel and seize control of their prison transfer ship. With the flight crew dead, mob leader Tula Quik, is determined to reach the free world, and as a pilot Ash is forced to join the mob on their treacherous voyage.

Taking inspiration from the third-wave of feminism in the 90s and punk-rock, Lock initially began the creative process of forming the series logo by profiling handmade fanzines and similar references. Lock came up with around sixty different ideas to present to Gearey and the production team who soon realised that Lock had an instinct for the show's complex female characters tangled up in a visceral and propulsive universe. The team loved that Locks bright yellow palette matched the futuristic turquoise and yellow prison outfits of the incarcerated, and by instinctively disregarding the cliched masculine shiny silvers Lock was in alignment with the show's identity and energy.

Lock stated, Even though it was set in space, Intergalactic was vibrant  the set design and costumes were very colourful so the unconventional yellow which went against that traditional sci-fi type look suited the ethos of the show.
