The Emmy winner for Outstanding Main Title Design 2017 was for "Stranger Things". Look at the following

STRANGER THINGS
Netflix
Studio: Imaginary Forces
Creative Director: Michelle Dougherty
Netflix’s Stranger Things is a series loaded with subtle nods and
not-so-subtle homages to some of the most beloved films of the 1980s.
Showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer deliver a shot of pure nostalgia, a dose of
something both familiar to viewers and altogether distinct. Similarly, the
show’s main titles function as a tribute to some of the era’s most iconic
book covers and title sequences, a pastiche of first impressions. Paired
with a synthy title track straight out of a Carpenter flick, the Stranger
Things sequence echoes the openings of genre classics like Altered States
and The Dead Zone both in form and tone. Large, hollow type drifts through a
void, slowly assembling, its glowing red edges cutting through the darkness
as smaller credits fade in and out. The primary typeface is Benguiat, chosen
for its associations with Stephen King paperbacks, the Choose Your Own
Adventure series, and other dusty, musty touchstones.
The Stranger Things opening is not only a fitting successor to a revered
title design tradition, but a testament to the power of type in motion and
the enormous potency of nostalgia.
