Douglas' design The iconic lightcycle from TRON: Legacy becomes distorted in Douglas' design and practically races off the shirt, which also includes a hint of blue foil screen printed into the fabric.
"I wanted to play with the super recognizable TRON imagery in an unexpected way, so an abstraction of the extremely visual frames felt like a strong way to express the opposing forces in the TRON world. Quite literally, a visual mash-up of speed, time & energy," said Douglas.
Lee Swillingham & Stuart Spalding Lee and Stuart started their career as art director and art editor of The Face magazine, only one year after leaving art school. Eventually they co-founded a graphic design and advertising agency, Suburbia, and garnered prestigious awards from the Society of Publication Designers and the Art Directors Club of America. In 2009, they launched another successful magazine, Love for Conde Nast. They also continue to lecture, appear on adjudicating panels and win further awards.
Lee and Stuart's design: Inspired by the geometry and graphics of TRON, this multi-colored graphic resembles TRON's identity disc and represents good vs. evil through the color juxtaposition and treatment flat blue against orange.
"TRON was at the forefront of computer graphics in movies. When we were kids it blew our minds, and we wanted a design that reflected that," said creative director Lee Swillingham.
