Ozark (TV series) Opening Credit Symbols

For the Netflix television series Ozark, graphic designer Fred Davis created a white letter 'O', which is featured on a black background at the beginning of each episode. Within the quartered circle of the 'O' are four symbols which foreshadow the main plot points in that episode. Additionally, each of these hand-drawn symbolic images are more or less shaped like the letters 'Z', 'A', 'R', 'K', spelling out the word "Ozark".
