I have been noticing kinetic type everywhere as I'm watching TV or movies. One of my favorite examples(maybe a little biased) is from the AMC's Talking Dead show. I could not find an example of it animated online but I found a few screen shots. Sometimes it appears all at once but at times usually back from a commercial break and is animated. The AMC logo will appear. The talking will emerge out of the line just below it. I like how the "T" lines up with the bottom edge of the logo. "DEAD" appears to run down like blood until it fills in the entire word (can't remember if the word itself rises or falls). "Talking" hangs over the "Dead" with the g just past the "D" almost creating a thought ot word balloon. Normally this wouldn't work but the T is just off the edge of the first "D" and the logo creaates the illusion of counter balance. Talking dead is hosted by Chris Hardwick, directed by Russell Norman and Mike Corey, visual effects are by Christie Hauck who according to imdb.com used After Effects to create the logo.
