A promotional graphic for the upcoming D23 Gold Theater virtual event in April 2025, titled “A Beautiful Tomorrow – Just a Dream Away: Disney at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair.” The design resembles a retro-style theater marquee, with elegant gold accents and Art Deco-inspired lines framing the graphic. At the top, the marquee reads “D23 Gold Theater Presented by State Farm” in gold and white text against a sleek black background. The central panel features a blue gradient background with geometric and whimsical illustrations, including stylized stars and abstract icons inspired by the Tower of the Four Winds: a kinetic sculpture that once stood outside the original it’s a small world attraction at the World’s Fair. These design elements evoke the mid-century optimism and futurism that defined Disney’s presence at the event. The event title is displayed in layered shades of blue: “A Beautiful Tomorrow” in a light blue, followed by “Just a Dream Away” in a slightly paler, dreamier tone, and below it, “Disney at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair” in capitalized light blue text. The overall visual aesthetic blends nostalgia, innovation, and Disney heritage, inviting viewers into a celebration of the company’s historic contributions to the iconic fair.
