the series' title sequence was created by production studio elastic for hbo. creative director angus wall and his collaborators received the 2011 primetime emmy award for main title design for the sequence, which depicts a three-dimensional map of the series' fictional world. the map is projected on the inside of a sphere which is centrally lit by a small sun in an armillary sphere. as the camera moves across the map, focusing on the locations of the episode's events, clockwork mechanisms intertwine and allow buildings and other structures to emerge from the map. accompanied by the title music, the names of the principal cast and creative staff appear. the sequence concludes after about 90 seconds with the title card and brief opening credits indicating the episode's writer(s) and director. its composition changes as the story progresses, with new locations replacing those featuring less prominently or not at all.

the opening title sequence of the first two season 6 episodes shows a turning stargate, for which a frazier lens was put as close as  inch (3 mm) to the stargate prop. the opening credits of the following episodes intercut this material with live-action shots of the characters from previous seasons and ended with the sg-1 team stepping through the stargate. the opening credits stayed the same in the next two seasons except for minor clip and cast changes. the opening credits of season 9 intercut shots of the stargate with action sequences similar to the previous opening credits, although the stargate was visibly computer-generated. the sci fi channel cut the opening credits from sixty to ten seconds in their original broadcast of the first half of season 9, but re-instated the full opening credits after strongly negative fan reactions. the writers poked fun at this move in "sg-1"s milestone episode "200" in season 10, showing a five-second clip instead of the full titles. beginning with season 10's "company of thieves", the last clip of the opening credits shows vala mal doran almost missing sg-1's trip through the stargate.
