Anne Rice's Immortal Universe created the absolutely gorgeous vintage wallpaper and frame graphics above, as well as the animations promoting the series. They do look very much like the profile avatar tiles I made for my Mayfair Witches Family Tree, yes. These are the ones made by Immortal Universe that featured the Mayfair Emerald key. Images from Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches AMC/AMC+.
"Are you coming in or not, Rowan Mayfair?"
Rowan Fielding is really the "long dead" Rowan Mayfair
The twisting branches of the Mayfair Witches family tree over crumbling wallpaper and sketches behind portraits of the Mayfairs ends with a floral vignette of red poppies surrounding the title of the show.

For those who have questions about the Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches series on AMC, it has come to my attention that all inquiries must be directed to AMC.
I do not know who at AMC would handle those kinds of inquiries. However, I can at least provide a link to AMC's official website and their press inquiries page. Hopefully, it will be of some help to those with questions of this nature, or at least a place to start.
