About Momoco
Momoco is a creative design and live-action studio based in Soho, London, specializing in main titles for film and television. Founded in 1999 by directors and designers Nic Benns and Miki Kato, it brings together conceptual design, cinematography, animation, typography and visual effects to create sequences that establish a production’s visual identity and narrative tone.
The studio began in Hollywood before establishing UK operations in London in 2000. Its work spans feature films, television drama, streaming productions and commercial campaigns, with a portfolio encompassing title sequences, motion design packages and film typography. Momoco remains independently owned and operated by its founders.
Title design and production
Momoco offers title sequence production from initial concepts through live-action shooting, animation, typography and finishing. Its capabilities also include visual effects and compositing, digital opticals, end credits, broadcast identity, commercial direction, concept art, storyboards and pre-visualization. These disciplines support work ranging from individual film titles to broader motion graphics and brand identity packages.
Its television portfolio includes Bridgerton, Slow Horses, Luther, Misfits, Narcos, Ripper Street and Dracula. Other series credits include Peaky Blinders, Hannibal, The Capture, Humans and Inside No. 9, reflecting its work across British and international television productions.
For feature films, Momoco has delivered title design and optical work for productions including Love Actually, Alien vs. Predator, 30 Days of Night, The Three Musketeers, Paddington, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and Conclave. Its film collaborations have included directors Ridley Scott, Richard Curtis, Guy Ritchie, Stephen Daldry and Lasse Hallström.
Alongside its screen titles, the studio undertakes commercial production and motion graphics for advertising and brand campaigns. Across these formats, its work combines live-action imagery with designed graphic elements, using typography and animation as central parts of the finished sequence.
