What do you think of the Tron pics?
ChadTower:
Yeah, Rolling Stones is a tossout game probably from a design they had lying around mostly complete. It wasn't a full on corporate project like Tron.

I actually have some firsthand experience with this, and Chad is right for the most part: Disney is EXTREMELY protective of their brand(s) and what elements you can and can't use.
But... I don't think there would be anyone at Disney telling Stern's art department exactly how they have to arrange/use the elements they are given. I feel like they could have used the elements as required by the licensor (to please Disney), but still do something more creative with them than what I'm seeing above. Maybe I'm wrong and Disney handed Stern the ready-made collage to slap directly onto the playfield, but I don't think so.
Vigo:
That's kinda my point of view on it. From the couple - small scale - design projects I have been involved with, I kinda know how the game works. You take what you are given, and make it as awesome as possible. Nag for better source material is you need to. If the licensor wants changes, you do the bare minimum to that would damage the aesthetic appeal, and always push your point that their idea does not work nearly as well. In the end, if you played your cards right, it still ends up looking fine.
But, some dink at Disney might have come in and demanded all be cluttered with blotchy blue blobs, a cameo for every character in ways that don't incorporate to the game, and close ups of jeff bridge's grizzle.... :dunno

Anything you've read beyond that is a complete fantasy that's been invented by someone else, and even that first post has been debunked.

I'm not talking about just that. Disney has this reputation across all products they license and has for 20 years now.

I like the artwork on Pirates of the Caribbean, by the way. ;D
