The crawl text, which describes the <a href="/wiki/Backstory" title="Backstory">backstory</a> and context of the film, then recedes toward a higher point in relation to the screen and with an apparent effect of disappearing in the distance.

One of the earliest iterations of the opening crawl is evidenced in <a href="/wiki/Storyboard" title="Storyboard">storyboards</a> drawn by the production artist <a href="/w/index.php?title=Alex_Tavoularis&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Alex Tavoularis (page does not exist)">Alex Tavoularis</a>, depicting the title “THE STAR WARS” as a three-dimensional logo.<sup id="cite_ref-artofthetitle_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-artofthetitle-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Perri also designed a <a href="/wiki/Logotype" class="mw-redirect" title="Logotype">logotype</a>, 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 <a href="/wiki/Suzy_Rice" title="Suzy Rice">Suzy Rice</a>, an art director at the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> <a href="/wiki/Advertising_agency" title="Advertising agency">advertising agency</a> <a href="/w/index.php?title=Seiniger_Advertising&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Seiniger Advertising (page does not exist)">Seiniger Advertising</a>. 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 <a href="/wiki/Fascism" title="Fascism">fascist</a>" in style. Rice, inspired by historical German <a href="/wiki/Typography" title="Typography">typography</a>, produced a bold logotype using an outlined, modified <a href="/wiki/Helvetica" title="Helvetica">Helvetica Black</a>. After some feedback from Lucas, Rice decided to join the <i>S</i> and <i>T</i> of <i>STAR</i> and the <i>R</i> and <i>S</i> of <i>WARS</i>. Lucas's producer, <a href="/wiki/Gary_Kurtz" title="Gary Kurtz">Gary Kurtz</a>, found that Rice's logo worked well in the opening title; the logo was modified further to flatten the pointed tips on the letter <i>W</i> 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 <a href="/wiki/Film_poster" title="Film poster">film posters</a> promoting the release of <i>Star Wars</i> on cinema billboards in 1977 (notably <a href="/wiki/Tom_Jung" title="Tom Jung">Tom Jung</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/File:StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg" title="File:StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg">Style ‘A’ poster</a></i>, the <a href="/wiki/File:Bros_Hildebrandt_Star_Wars_quad_poster.jpg" title="File:Bros Hildebrandt Star Wars quad poster.jpg"><i>Style ‘B’</i> poster</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Brothers_Hildebrandt" title="Brothers Hildebrandt">Brothers Hildebrandt</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tom_Chantrell" title="Tom Chantrell">Tom Chantrell</a>'s <a href="/wiki/File:Tom_Chantrell_Star_Wars_quad_poster_1977.jpg" title="File:Tom Chantrell Star Wars quad poster 1977.jpg"><i> Style ‘C’</i> poster</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-taylor-logo_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-taylor-logo-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-photosecrets_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-photosecrets-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In a 2005 interview, George Lucas described how the final phrasing of the text for <i>Star Wars</i> came about.
