These names are traditionally always used in a title sequence. 
Titles are used to reflect the tone, narrative and genre of the film through colour font, style, framing/screen placement, pace of credits, transitions and editing. 
For example in the black panther opening titles, you can see these symbols, they reflect the narrative of the film and indicate that they will appear later on in the film. 
Another example is these opening titles from final destination, it sets the tone of the film as they look quite mysterious and creepy. This is presented through the font and the fast paced editing which goes alongside the creepy illustrations.
