Can you see it? Isn't it awesome? I swear when it flashed on my screen, I literally jumped up and screamed with glee and delight. The title card has been changed and my theory has been proven! Can I get a woo and a hoo???
There is something so incredibly telling about the title shots that The Kripke has chosen for each season of this show.
During the summer, I did a Supernatural Summer Session blog at the TVGuide site about the two seasons of episode introductions. This is an excerpt of the ending of that blog:
Now it’s time to get ready for Season Three and here’s my question/theory …
Season One began with a flash of lightning. A strike that dealt a blow, the damage of which sent the Winchester men into the storm.
Season Two began with a rush of flaming fire. A fire from hell that chased them, pursued them, that rushed down upon the Winchester men burning them even as they battled it.
Will Season Three continue with the same rush of flaming fire or will it begin with something different, signifying that each season truly does have its own theme? Just a theory … something to consider … however, if the beginning flash of SUPERNATURAL is something other than lightning or fire, such as a rush of inky black smoke, just remember … you heard it here first.
So, it wasn't a rush of inky black smoke, it was a flash of a devil's trap before SUPERNATURAL flashes throught the inky black smoke complete with demonic tendrils and the hellfire red lighting up the center. It is the start of Season Three, and it is ominous and foreboding, just as the title card signifies. Samuel Colt's devil's trap was breached and there has been a legion of demons unleashed. A war has begun and the Winchester boys are right in the middle of it.
What does this intro shot mean, I have no idea yet. But I'm thrilled that there is a new theme to the season, that we are past the fire and into the war. And I can't wait to watch.

Hahaha... That's why I love you so much, CR. It's the little things in life. Really dug the new logo, but admittedly, hadn't looked at it so closely. :):):)
Ah, Keeper! I love the new title card. I squealed when I saw the silver of the Devil's Trap, thinking it a shout out to Colt's railroad trap of the previous season.
Upon closer inspection, the lettering looks distinctly chrome-like to me. I'm thinking either the chrome bumpers of the Metallicar (squee!) or perhaps it's representative of a couple of guns the boys carry. Per Winchester Journals, Dean's favorite gun is a nickle-plated Colt 1911 & Sammy's used a stainless steel Taurus 92 in S2. Or, maybe it has something to do with Ruby & her demon-killing blade? Wow...that was a long comment! *shrugs* I'm going with the Metallicar's bumpers, just because.
That's why you ROCK, Keeper! I never would have given thought to the change in the titlecard and what it represents if it wasn't for you. :)
Keeper-Sweeper! LOL I LOVE the new card. Made me wanna play with pastels and charcoal. (art things...not actual charcoal from a BBQ or--never mind. LOL)
Anywho, you're awesome, so..yeah. *hugs* :D
I was probably just as psyched to see if there would be a new title card and what it would be as I was to see the episode itself. I love this one.
Woo Hoo!!!
