At the D23 Expo, Disney revealed a new title card celebrating its 100th anniversary. The Walt Disney Company began its existence in 1923, which makes 2023 the company’s centennial. The new title card will appear ahead of films debuting during the anniversary celebration.
It keeps the iconic Disney castle first introduced in 1985 while adding Disney 100 to the picture. Last year, the company revealed the Disney 100 logo, with and without familiar mascots Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse popping out of the zeroes. The logo and characters are black-and-white, calling back to the earliest days of animation.
Disney is celebrating the anniversary at D23 this weekend with the Step in Time exhibit, putting items from the Walt Disney Archives on display. Disney also previously announced that SC Exhibitions is producing an exhibition to showcase Disney’s history. The showcase will premiere at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in February 2023.
The exhibit will include galleries featuring items from the Walt Disney Archives and an immersive environment spanning 15,000 square feet.

“This groundbreaking exhibition will celebrate the wonder of Disney, from 1923 to the present and into the future. “Co-Curator Paula Sigman Lowery, a Disney historian, said, “It’s thrilling to bring Disney’s crown jewels–art, memorabilia, costumes, props, and one-of-a kind treasures–to public view–and to explore the story of one of the world’s most creative entertainment companies. Many of these objects have never before been seen outside the company’s archival, animation, and Imagineering vaults.
