Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Criterion menu calligraphy

The title/logo of the film being drawn from start to finish pen and ink style in the main menu of the Criterion release. Some pretty psychedelic calligraphy, suits the film.

Can anyone tell me if this is how the menu on the blu ray version is?

I noticed that it was the old Criterion logo at the top so I guess that this is from the DVD.

@MrZkinandBonez: This video is older than the first Criterion BluRay release. I don't know about the menus, I think they're different, just don't know how.

I started signing all my artwork like this until my teacher made me stop.

First time I watched this movie, I was rollin' so hard on E. Amazing movie. Before we even started the movie, we watched the title screen for like an hour. Then after the movie, we watched it for another hour. Hahaha. It was so amazing.

@MrZkinandBonez Nope it's completely different. Blu ray has bats flying around with Las Vegas in the background. It's in the style of Steadman tho. Pretty cool

two questions: what size head is on that quill and what is HST?

[FlamingSpidermonkeys]

I'm not sure why, but I am facinated by how he turns a little squiggle into "and". So cool. This is why Criterion is the best thing ever. No one else would be creative enough to think of this.
