Where are the cast and crew logos in Game of Thrones opening credits from?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
For the Game of Thrones crew, what do the symbols next to their names mean? For example, Ramin Djawadi, Gemma Jackson, and GRRM have a symbol that looks like an NES controller d-pad, editor Martin Nicholson has two crossed swords and a star, producer Mark Huffam has what appears to be a four-pointed flower, producer Frank Doelger has four small stars, etc...

The answer by @RicoRicochet gives the reasoning for his in that it is a turtle because "Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose.".

This is allegedly a vomiting maester after Bryan had a bit too much too drink at a wrap party though I'm not sure how true the claim is.
Look closely next to writer Bryan Cogman’s name in the opening credits and you’ll see his ‘House Sigil’ is a vomiting maester. This joke was made by Benioff and Weiss in reference to a wrap party at which he er, overindulged himself, back when he worked as their assistant.

Thanks for adding all the others. I understand GRRM is fond of turtles, but if that symbol is a turtle, then I clearly don't know what turtles look like. Also Steve Kullback appears to be Sisyphus; Crispin Green crossed swords kinda look like scissors (for editing film); Frank Doelger perhaps sees himself as a 4-star general; Michelle Clapton a peacock for the beautiful costume design.

The sigil of George R. R. Martin which seems to look like a "NES controller d-pad" is in reality a turtle.
The sigils of the cast members are their character's house, e.g. a Lannister lion for Peter Dinklage, a three-headed dragon for Emilia Clarke. A similar concept is used for crew as well. In this case, it is a personal choice. The most notable example being the one of G.R.R. Martin himself.
As mentioned by G.R.R.M in San Diego Comic-Con 2012 -
Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose. When I was a kid,
growing up in Bayonne, NJ, I lived in a federal housing project, and
we were not allowed to have a dog or cats. The only pets I could have
were turtles. So, I had an entire toy castle filled with dime-store
turtles. I gave them all names, and since they were living in a toy
castle, I decided they were all knights and kings...and I made up
stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and
fought for the kingdom. So, Game of Thrones, actually began with
turtles. I decided later to recast it with actual human beings.
As for others, it can take a while to research. From the analysis of G.R.R.M. himself, we can assume the sigils to be just a personal choice.

They like to have fun with the sigils. Bryan Cogman is a prime example: "The sigil next to Cogman's name in the opening credits is actually a vomiting maester - a joke by Benioff and Weiss, referencing how at the Season 1 wrap party, Cogman had too much to drink and had to throw up."

Thanks for adding all the others. I understand GRRM is fond of turtles, but if that symbol is a turtle, then I clearly don't know what turtles look like. Also Steve Kullback appears to be Sisyphus; Crispin Green crossed swords kinda look like scissors (for editing film); Frank Doelger perhaps sees himself as a 4-star general; Michelle Clapton a peacock for the beautiful costume design.

@TheMiddler Yeah I'd worked some of the hidden meanings out, like the swords, but I didn't want to add it in until I knew for sure that was the case

The sigil of George R. R. Martin which seems to look like a "NES controller d-pad" is in reality a turtle.
The sigils of the cast members are their character's house, e.g. a Lannister lion for Peter Dinklage, a three-headed dragon for Emilia Clarke. A similar concept is used for crew as well. In this case, it is a personal choice. The most notable example being the one of G.R.R. Martin himself.
As mentioned by G.R.R.M in San Diego Comic-Con 2012 -
Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose. When I was a kid,
growing up in Bayonne, NJ, I lived in a federal housing project, and
we were not allowed to have a dog or cats. The only pets I could have
were turtles. So, I had an entire toy castle filled with dime-store
turtles. I gave them all names, and since they were living in a toy
castle, I decided they were all knights and kings...and I made up
stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and
fought for the kingdom. So, Game of Thrones, actually began with
turtles. I decided later to recast it with actual human beings.
As for others, it can take a while to research. From the analysis of G.R.R.M. himself, we can assume the sigils to be just a personal choice.

They like to have fun with the sigils. Bryan Cogman is a prime example: "The sigil next to Cogman's name in the opening credits is actually a vomiting maester - a joke by Benioff and Weiss, referencing how at the Season 1 wrap party, Cogman had too much to drink and had to throw up."

This Question is not exactly about the Content of GoT or ASOIAF which is foundation of that content. So I don't think it has any place here. May be Movies and TV exchange would serve you better?

I think it is fine, it is a question about the series and while I think they might get a better answer on the Tv and Movies stackexchange this question does not, not belong here. @Aegon

@Aegon Mooz is correct. It's true this question would be on-topic at M&TV (and I'll migrate if if the OP asks), but it's also on-topic here ("behind-the-scenes and fandom information" as explicitly mentioned in the help centre), so it shouldn't be closed and doesn't have to be migrated.
