There are no signs at all in the film, everything is pictograms. There is
a scene early on in the film showing Montag "reading" a newspaper. It is
essentially a giant comic book with no words; every thing is pantomine.

As for creative credits, how about "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis and
Jack Lemon? The opening credits were an animated magic lantern show complete
with audience reactions: Cheeers for Tony Curtis' credit, boos for Jack
Lemon, whistles and stomps for Natalie Wood, etc.  They even put some in
upside down, etc., for effect.
