A promotional image for Disney Publishing’s event, An Evening with Rick Riordan: Celebrating 20 Years of Percy Jackson and The Olympians on August 14, 2025, in New York City. The event title and text are on the left side of the image on a blue background, written in a bold Times New Roman font with accents evoking ancient Greek stonework. “Rick Riordan” is in yellow, and “Percy Jackson” in grayish blue— the “Y” is depicted as a trident that crosses into the “O” in “Jackson”. The right half of the image is a birds-eye view of an imposing dark gray Empire State Building and surrounding skyscrapers in a purple and yellow glow. Above them are clouds and a view of a glowing full moon, within which is written, “The Lightning Thief,” and “20 Years,” with the outline of a white trident to celebrate 20 years of the first book in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. In the middle of the image is a picture of author Rick Riordan in a purple dress shirt and blue-black blazer.
