Hand drawn logo, colored pencil, Disneyland, concept art for the original Tomorrowland
area in Disneyland
. The unique logo, featuring a triangle enclosing yellow, blue, and red circles with the text "tomorrowland" and "Disneyland," represents an early vision for the park's future-themed area, which opened in 1955.
Key Information
Origin: The drawing is one of the earliest known design sketches for Tomorrowland, created around 1953 or 1954, likely before construction began just six months prior to the park's opening.
Design: The design reflects a mid-century retrofuturistic aesthetic, typical of early concepts for the land. The use of primary colors (yellow, blue, red) and geometric shapes was part of a graphic style popular at the time, which also features in other visual search results with a Bauhaus influence.
Significance: Tomorrowland was known to be the weakest of Disneyland's themed lands on opening day because of its rushed construction, making these early concept pieces valuable in showing what the original vision entailed. The area was meant to represent the future of the year 1986 when it first opened. |
