<P> Perri also designed a logotype, consisting of block - capital letters filled with stars and skewed towards a vanishing point to follow the same perspective as the opening crawl . Lucas eventually rejected Perri's logo due to readability problems, turning instead to the graphic designer Suzy Rice, an art director at the Los Angeles advertising agency Seiniger Advertising . Lucas had commissioned Rice to design a promotional brochure that was to be distributed to cinema theatre owners . He instructed Rice to produce a logo that would intimidate the viewer, and he reportedly asked for the logo to appear "very fascist" in style . Rice, inspired by historical German typography, produced a bold logotype using an outlined, modified Helvetica Black . After some feedback from Lucas, Rice decided to join the S and T of STAR and the R and S of WARS . Lucas's producer, Gary Kurtz, found that Rice's logo worked well in the opening title; the logo was modified further to flatten the pointed tips on the letter W before it was inserted into the final cut . While Perri's skewed logo did not appear on - screen, it was used widely on pre-release print advertising, and it featured prominently on film posters promoting the release of Star Wars on cinema billboards in 1977 (notably Tom Jung's Style' A' poster, the Style' B' poster by the Brothers Hildebrandt and Tom Chantrell's Style' C' poster). </P> <P> In a 2005 interview, George Lucas described how the final phrasing of the text for Star Wars came about . "The crawl is such a hard thing because you have to be careful that you're not using too many words that people don't understand . It's like a poem . I showed the very first crawl to a bunch of friends of mine in the 1970s . It went on for six paragraphs with four sentences each . Brian De Palma was there ...". De Palma helped to edit the text into the form used in the film . </P> <P> According to Dennis Muren, who worked on the six films, crawls on the original trilogy films were accomplished by filming physical models laid out on the floor . The models were approximately 60 cm (2') wide and 1.80 m (6') long . The crawl effect was accomplished by the camera moving longitudinally along the model . It was difficult and time - consuming to achieve a smooth scrolling effect . Furthermore, different versions in other languages (such as German, French and Spanish) were produced by Industrial Light & Magic . </P> <P> With the advent of computer - generated graphics, the crawls for the prequel trilogy were achieved much more quickly . The 2004 DVD special edition versions of the original trilogy were later updated with computer - generated crawls as part of their restoration and enhancement . </P>
