GODSPEED, SYD MEAD...


You left your indelible mark per imposing designs, working for such respected realms as Purdue University; Carnegie Mellon; Pratt Institute; Phillips Electronics; Society of Illustrators; and Disney. 


Most recognize your blazing touch in such spectacular movies as "Star Trek--The Motion Picture"; "Tron"; "Blade Runner"; "Blade Runner 2049"; "Aliens"; "Strange Days"; "2010: the Year We Make Contact"; "Solar Crisis"; "Short Circuit"; "Johnny Mnemonic"; "Timecop"; "Elysium"; "Mission: Impossible III"; and "Mission to Mars", as well as the anime adventures, "Turn a Gundam" and "Yamato 2520".


You opened our minds and inspired us to believe in the future. As such, there will only ever be one Syd Mead: an incomparable visionary for incomparable dreams.
