Season 1 title featuring a modified version of Fanfare

Title sequence for the TV show Quantum Leap that ran from 1989 to 1993, designed by Betty Green.

The title itself features a modified version of Fanfare with triangles added in the Q and A. The season 1 version of the title sequence also uses Fanfare for the years that flash by, and the bold weight of Kabel Condensed for the credits.

Seasons 2 to 5 continue to use Fanfare for the main title, now with beveled edges, but switches to Dynamo for the years and Futura Extra Bold Condensed for the credits.
