Episode Title Cards

An Episode Titlecard is the unique graphic used at the beginning of ABC's Once Upon a Time episodes (starting with the second episode of the first season).

The Episode Titlecards feature a character, creature, location or item featured (or not) in the episode. This unique graphic appears under the "Once Upon a Time" title in the blue forest.
