Retro Disney Resort Logos
The Contemporary and Polynesian Resorts were the first to open at Walt Disney.
Many things have changed since the beginning. Quite a debate/discussion could be started
on that topic alone, Change at Walt Disney World.
To dabble a bit in the nostalgic past of Disney World I recreated a couple
of what I think are the original resort logos (if anyone actually knows for
sure, please confirm). “Where did I obtain the reference for these logos?”
you ask. Matchbooks. I found them quite worn and wanted to capture the glorious
art to be seen for all time.
I scanned in the matchbook covers and traced the logos in Illustrator, being careful to keep the original art intact. After I finished it, I displayed it on Flickr, the web’s newest toy, and posted it in the Disney Geeks group. Someone recommended I put the Illustrator file up somewhere on the web. “Great idea,” I thought.
Feel free to download the Illustrator file (v 10.0).
