Not really. There were some hideous ideas. This should look nice in the FL sun.

I have to say, my expectations for the Castle overlay were low . . . and this art still leaves me feeling a little underwhelmed. Feels a little threadbare for the park's (and resort's) Golden Anniversary. But I hope it translates beautifully in reality - art for Disney's Castle Overlays has historically failed to fully represent the final product.
I suspect the "EARidescent" projections on the icons will likely be more attractive, I'm looking forward to them.

Is anyone else getting a 1974 senior prom vibe from Mickey's suit?
...and the identity crisis of the Studios continues. I thought getting rid of the BAH was supposed to refocus the iconography on the Chinese Theater..? Maybe they should just put up a new water tower and call it a day.

Can’t say I’m surprised if they don’t come back.
What's wrong with TOT/DHS' Icon??? I'm not shocked there going for TOT, everyone loved Sunset Seasons on TOT.

Looking at the site:
Eek, I hate that they are advertising the cast members as a feature of the event. It really furthers the guest perception that they are advanced audio-animatronics and is a transparent attempt to erase the effects of COVID. I also hate the phrase "Classic Favorites and Exciting Adventures". Both of these literally mean nothing.
I am curious about the "And Beyond" bit. I wonder if Disney Springs might get some decor overlay, or some entertainment offering aside from a new Amorette's EARidescent mirror cake. I hope this means that they continue a version of the entertainment program they're doing now for Black History Month, maybe limited-time BGM. Wonder if they intend to touch the water parks or mini-golf in "and beyond".
EDIT: I also, as I keep looking at ToT, find it interesting that there's an effect that there are people in the hotel. I think the only way I would love this addition would be if the effect is that we are see the Tower slip between a glitzy heyday and post lightning strike. That would be cool.

well Spaceship Earth at least looks nice.
ToT is a singular attraction and Sunset Blvd. is a singular themed land. By definition, a "park icon" should encompass the spirit of all of the offerings within a given park. For the other 3 parks, their respective icons do very well. HS has always had icon dysfunction.

Random thought but it's still so weird to me how ToT is supposed to be the icon of DHS.

It hadn't occured to me till you said that that they also changed the flood lighting from the traditional orange hint to a more night sky purple to match the rest of the icons. Really smart and subtle.
Permanently with any luck. The Dream lights either need to be embedded or removed. They look crap when not lit and that bloody crane

Which frustrates me, because The Chinese Theater has always been *exceptionally* well positioned (both literally and figuratively) for that role. If you had to sum up "Hollywood" in one building . . . ta da.
But, alas.
I can see that.
