TRON EVOLUTION vinyl


I Am 8-Bit produced a limited edition, 12" vinyl record of Sascha's game soundtrack from Tron Evolution.

When they contacted me about working on the artwork, I was ecstatic! I LOVE the original Tron movie, and look forward to seeing the new one. Plus the idea of doing album art in general is pretty awesome. If you don't believe me, go check out Picturebox's book about superstar album artists, Hipgnosis. Amazing!


Here are some of the roughs I produced for the project.


Here are some of the record ideas. I wanted to create something for the record that would change or animate once the record was turned on. Eventually we just used the Tron disc design, which in hindsight is a no brainer. Hopefully when the record is played, the white on the disc will create a blurry line, similar to the way the disc lights up when activated.



Thanks to gameinformer.com for the photographs of the record and packaging.

  3. It looks very retro yet contemporary at the same time. That's not an easy task to pull off - good work.
