Large door panel vintage 1960s silkscreened promotional banner for the anthology television series Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
Key Details from the Banner:
• The Show: Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color was the iconic name used when the show moved from ABC to NBC on September 24, 1961, allowing it to be broadcast in full color.
• The Sponsor: It prominently features the logo for Gulf Oil, which became a major weekly sponsor of the program beginning in 1968. During this time, Gulf service stations gave out special Disney magazine premiums and compilation records to customers.
• Artwork: The banner features Tinker Bell sprinkling pixie dust over the title. Tinker Bell was central to the show's new intro sequence, where she swept across Sleeping Beauty Castle to bring color to the screen.
• Broadcast Info: The bottom yellow section advertises that the show aired on NBC TV on Sunday evenings.
These large-scale cardboard displays (often measuring around 30" x 68") were provided directly to Gulf gas stations for window, wall, or curbside marketing. |
