 Maurice Binder (born in New York in 1925) was chiefly known for designing the title graphics of the Bond films, beginning with Dr No (d. Terence Young, 1962) and ending with Licence to Kill (d. John Glen, 1989), and arousing state-of-the-art stylistic expectations. The 60-plus films whose titles he designed also included high comedy (The Grass is Greener, US, d. Stanley Donen, 1960), period pieces (Of Human Bondage, d. Bryan Forbes/Ken Hughes, 1964; The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, d. Billy Wilder, 1970) and wartime adventures (Battle of Britain, d. Guy Hamilton, 1969; The Sea Wolves, d. Andrew V. McLaglen, 1980, UK/Switz/US). He was a leader in his field. Brian McFarlane, Encyclopedia of British Film
